A VERY INTERESTING (LENGTHY) ARTICLE...BUT WORTH THE READ
Current Expectations for a Cascadia Mega-Quake

The "Ultimate Guide" to the coming Cascadia Mega-Quake, for the Average Citizen


From the available information, it appears that scientists are basically guessing at the magnitude and duration of the next full-potential Cascadia earthquake event. For the most part, their predictions are based on assumed information relating to the mega-quake event in January of 1700, plus information relating to the Japanese earthquake and tsunami of March 2011. It is important to note that in the Pacific region in recent times, the so-called "general concensus" of the scientific community has often greatly underestimated the quake which ultimately occurred.

Let it be known that geologic models, since at least 2004, have proven to be seriously flawed regarding the nature and magnitude of major quake events around the Pacific Rim. So, check out what has been going on, as the information is presented in this report. Then come to your own conclusion as to the nature and potential magnitude of the next Cascadia mega-quake event.

Chris Goldfinger is an Oregon State University professor of geology and geophysics. He is also "one of the world's leading experts on the Cascadia subduction zone."(link) In a 2013 book, he is quoted as stating: "We're still at the blind-man-feeling-the-elephant's-butt stage of plate tectonics. Nobody likes to think of it that way, but it's true."(link) The linked book states further: "The groping extends to the question of whether the world experiences periodic flurries of megaquakes -- and whether one of those periods started with the 2004 Sumatra disaster."

"MILKING IT" TO THE LIMIT?
Over the years, the writer has watched a certain phenomenon taking place. He has watched a repeating series of cycles occurring. The series goes something like this: Scientists in Cascadia will do a number of very expensive tests. Then some tidbits of information will be fed to the media which will cause at least some people to "open one eye." Then, as the newness of the information begins to wear off, most of the people generally "go back to sleep again." At this point, the cycle is started all over again.

By using the repeating series of cycles noted above, people figure the scientists are doing something of value and the grant money (most often in the form of your tax money) keeps flowing in for further testing. This gives the scientists "job security," even though they may not actually be accomplishing something which will greatly help to reduce the number of casualties in the next full-potential, Cascadia mega-quake event. In other words, it appears that the scientists are having fun "milking it," while using public money, but not giving something of high value in return, and the money just keeps flowing in. Isn't is about time that the public began asking what is going on here?


In our day and age, it appears there is really no accountability on government monies (read: your tax dollars) which are so freely spent. It appears that people may be much too trusting and have become very accustomed to being "milked by the wolves." It has become such a way of life that the general public does not even raise the slightest wimper when it happens.

It appears that the public is becoming so programmed that, in many cases, it is now getting to be something like this: "On que, just grab your ankles..." Furthermore, in the Cascadia region, more and more, it appears to be getting something like this: "Just give us more money, so we can smile while giving you even less value. We will vote ourselves a big raise, while not even bothering to properly prepare you for the coming quake. We come first, and if there is anything left over... Well, maybe." What a deal!

Yes, a considerable amount of public money is being spent on testing and the production of geologic models about the Cascadia region. But, what is the true value which the general public is getting in return for all of this public money (once again, clearly read: your tax money) which is steadily being spent on all this expensive testing and the production of costly computerized models?

Regarding all of this time consuming and costly computerized modeling of coming geologic events, once again, there is something very important for the public to note. For a considerable period of time, these expensive models have proven to be greatly flawed. It even happened with the quake and tsunami in Japan in 2011. Because the controllers in the scientific community relied more on the models which were produced, rather than the actual geologic record, many people needlessly died. Will it be any different in Cascadia?

Thank you everyone for your thoughts, prayers and suggestions.

I just spoke with my PCP's office and they want me to go to the ER. They don't want me to drive myself there so I am trying to figure out who is around that could bring me at some point today. I know my friend will be willing to when she gets home from work around 6:00. My youngest sister gets home from work around 8:00 and can be my back up. Worst case scenario I will drive myself. The hospital is only 5 minutes from my house.

Don't you dare drive yourself. What if it happens again while you're behind the wheel? You'd never be able to live with yourself if you hurt somebody else.

Wait for a ride, or walk if it's that close. You should have went last night right after it happened. They could have seen more on a scan then.

Yes, I'm scolding you. But it's all because I love you.
To know where your heart is, look where your mind goes when it wanders.

Good. Just don't drive until they know what caused it. You mentioned being drained a couple of days ago. Might have had something to do with it (especially since you don't eat or sleep like you should). And, to ease your mind a bit, loss of bladder control is common with fainting so don't let that one issue worry you too much. hugs

Thank you all for the posts Simple (hope you are doing OK today), bigD, infinitedream, kickinit, and anyone else I forgot (please don't be offended if I forgot it's not intentional - this week has been an EFFed up week).

Nothing happened today. It was just business as usual. I guess I was being overly sensitive to a few bad things going on that in reality had nothing to do with me and the ones that did didn't really matter at all.

So I am glad to have a low key, early Friday this week. Thinking about getting back to bowling this weekend. It's been awhile and I needed that break. :)
