Been trying to wrap my head around the forthcoming Cascadia megaquake and.......
Anonymous Coward User ID: 70337400 United States 09/18/2015 04:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Been trying to wrap my head around the forthcoming Cascadia megaquake and....... I'm in Seattle and I've tried to imagine the power of a 9+ earthquake when the subduction zone inevitably slips one day (it runs along the coast and onto inland areas). I could only understand it intellectually and not really comprehend or believe the magnitude. But a couple of days ago I suddenly felt it and understood it in my bones. It will be a massive CRACK like a humongous granite boulder a hundred miles long being suddenly split asunder. That kind of force.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 69416557 United States 09/18/2015 09:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Re: Been trying to wrap my head around the forthcoming Cascadia megaquake and....... A few years ago I had a dream... I was in the Pacific Northwest and walking along a coastal overlook road. The water was maybe 75ft-100ft below the roadway. I come up to a green road sign that is covered in debris and vegetation, and that sign says "Cascadia" it's not named for a town/city... but it's for an entire region that it's named that. All around was total destruction and completely leveled buildings all into rubble. There were no people leaving that scene of destruction, everyone was dead. Make what you will of that. I do know however that when the CSZ slips or ruptures for real... it will be a disaster of biblical proportions. It will be horrific. The megathrust in Alaska 9.3 violently shook for 4 1/2 minutes. I don't know how much of that could be endured today.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70273200 Yes, and the CSZ rupture is gonna be like a car getting T-boned in an intersection. The fault is nearly perpendicular to the coastline.

One big danger people seem to be overlooking is that one fault rupture could trigger another fault rupture. I read that there is another dangerous fault the runs East to West through downtown Seattle called 'The Seattle Fault'. [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)]

They don't always work together but they have a few times in the past.
