Science reporter Sandi Doughton wrote the book on the “really big one.” Literally. Her 2013 release, “Full Rip 9.0,” describes the eventuality of a mega-quake in jarring detail. It also explains the science behind the Cascadia Subduction Zone. Here’s the first chapter of Doughton’s book, excerpted in Pacific NW Magazine. More of Doughton’s earthquake and tsunami reporting: A Grays Harbor County school built the first vertical tsunami refuge in the U.S. – with a gym strong enough so 1,000 people could stand on its roof through a tsunami surge. Doughton traveled to Japan to report on seafloor-monitoring technology that allows Japanese scientists to monitor the Nankai Trough, a submarine fault so similar to the Cascadia Subduction Zone it’s considered a “sister.” When the “really big one” hits, Seattle’s bluffs and slopes are expected to slide, too. A University of Washington study found a big earthquake could could trigger as many as 30,000 landslides in Seattle. Some subduction zones may give scientists warning before they slip and shake, making some earthquakes predictable. Scientists and technology companies are trying to develop earthquake-alert technology for the Pacific Northwest. Research shows the Cascadia fault is so slippery, tidal forces produced by the sun and moon might be able to trigger earthquake tremors. Experts say it’s possible 100-foot waves could slam the Pacific Northwest if the Cascadia fault snaps. Monster earthquakes might come in succession. Scientists have learned a lot since the Nisqually earthquake in 2001, and it’s mostly bad news.

At this house and when I live a couple miles away. Both time were early, like after 1am. The other house they had the k-9 and were looking up in trees all up and down the block. I guess about half hour later they found the person about 4 houses down in a tree. They were on the PA ordering the person down for a good 20 minutes. Then the person must of came down, because it sounded like the dogs was having dinner. One of the other times there was a chase. The kids bailed out right here on the corner. The car even rolled up the curb and knocked down a street sign and came to rest on the fence. After things calmed down a bit, there was a BANG BANG BANG on the door. I was awake, like all the block was. I went to the door, and Yelled, "who are you the cops"! The cop yelled back, "yes I am"! I yelled back, "I want to make sure, there's a lot going on outside"! The cop yelled back. "look out your window"! I did. I yelled back, "ok"! Then opened the door and said, "I thought it was a cop, they always bang on the door with authority!" The cop was not as amused as I was. He didn't ask for ID, but asked my full name. The cop behind him mumbled something on the radio. I'm sure he was running that name. Being a smart ass and saying, "I thought it was a cop, they always bang on the door with authority!" ...anyways, he told me what was going on. A tow truck will be by soon to get the car. Gave me some info. I finally went to bed about an hour later. There was a cop sitting there baby sitting the stolen car up on the curb. -Everything's more awesome when you lean into it. |
