The Cascadia Subduction Zone represents a profound disaster in the making. Running hundreds of miles along the Pacific Northwest coast, it's overdue for a catastrophic magnitude 9 earthquake. In fact, scientists estimate there's a 37% chance it will strike in the near future.

@Yehuda The Atlantic, or Harper’s or some publication of their ilk published an extremely informative article about this maybe 10 years ago, including lots of cross section maps & graphs, and yeah. Every few hundred years, the N. American plate just slips 50 or so feet out to sea. A 9.0 would liquefy the ground under downtown Seattle. They need to just
Move it like Jakarta.

@Yehuda When I was doing cyber security work for Bonneville Power, I remember reading the public reports that when that subduction resets to flat, that west of I5 is considered catastrophically destroyed, that they didn't post a timeline of restoration. East of I5 and west of the Cascades had like a six critical infrastructure recovery time frame.

Maybe all the Republicans that want to be evil can have a rally or some shit with all the Proud Boys in Seaside when it happens.
