How's your EarthQuake Prep?

[Silver Hand]

There is only one place in the world that can produce a magnitude nine earth quake, guess where it is.

I think it starts with a "c"

I was miss informed or the data I reviewed was partly incorrect, it can happen only in a Subduction Zone.
Cascadia Subduction Zone | Pacific Northwest Seismic Network

I'm thinking if the magnitude is anything like they are expecting for the big one we can count out any kind of real help for months.

I could be wrong but I would rather be prepared than have to deal with a bunch of people fighting over ration's dropped from a plane. You think the protesters were bad holy bubblegum it would get ugly quick.

In some places years and in places like mine out in the sticks maybe never.

So the funny thing for me there is they mentioned why the name of the fault is Cascadia.
The volcanic mountains of the Cascades.
Hmmm,what happens if the earthquake wakes up a volcano?
Just a thought

You are aware that Rocky Butte near PDX is a dormant volcano? Now shake it's magma chamber a lot ...

We so lucky. We shake long time.

Like I've said in the other threads about this,I'll contemplate all this while I'm soaking in my natural,lava warmed hot springs over here in Idaho.

And to add to the volcano fun.....

"PORTLAND, OREGON; BEND, OREGON; and JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI, are the only cities in the "lower 48" states with a volcano within their respective city limits. None of the volcanos is active, but each is nonetheless a volcano.

PORTLAND, OREGON, lies on top of an extinct Plio-Pleistocene volcanic field. The Boring Lava Field includes at least 32 cinder cones and small shield volcanoes lying within a radius of 13 miles of Kelly Butte, which is approximately four miles east of downtown Portland. The volcanos are extinct, but Mt. Tabor Park is focused on the extinct volcano.

from What's The Only USA City With a Volcano in the City Limits?

If I recall correctly from my geology of Oregon class, Mt. Tabor, Rocky Butte, , Powell Butte, and Mt Scott are all extinct volcanic-related landforms. Having Mt Hood 60 miles away is bad enough, hopefully the local buttes will stay asleep for a long, long time.
