Full Rip 9.0
« on: March 12, 2014, 01:40:40 AM »
I just read a very interesting book titled Full Rip 9.0: the Next Big Earthquake in the Pacific Northwest.  The title is somewhat self-explanatory, but it also tells the story of the scientists who, starting with the nuclear power plants of the 1970s, uncovered the geologic history of the PNW.  I highly recommend this book to anyone with a connection to the PNW or who lives in another area prone to earthquakes.

I'll have to check that out. I'm in an active earthquake/tsunami zone tucked neatly between two active volcanoes and nestled at the foot of a dormant one.  :facepalm:

I will look for that in the library.  When the next big one happens in the Puget Sound area, and you all notice I am no longer posting, it was an honor serving with you.

If Mt Ranier erupts, it is going to kill a lot of people.

Mill Creek might escape that one, though.

Maybe it isn't so bad to live in flyover country. :)

There is an ios app called Quakefeed that lists all quakes as they occur
Probably also available for Andriod phones.

I had this irrational fear that the Cascadia Subduction Zone would let go with a 9.x just before we closed on the sale of our house in Lebanon, OR.  With no earthquake insurance, we would have been boned.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
