MAJOR EARTHQUAKE

I might be far enough north, 17 miles from Canada, to avoid a lot of the carnage, depends on the wind direction. At least there’ll be a warning before Yellowstone goes wild. Cascadia is just going to happen. On the coast, the roads will be shot from the big shake and everyone will be on foot headed for the high ground where they can watch the wave come ashore. The Tsunami might turn out to be a good thing if it washes away a lot of damage.
 
The new houses that get built in our neighborhood in Astoria are built on a bunch of piling driven into the earth 20 feet or so. Must be so there’s a better transfer of the shaking from the ground to the structure above. What engineers can dream up boggles the mind.
 
WB. Yea but the shaking will be so bad the liquification is the least of their worries. The ground is mostly sand fill on top of whatever is below. Those piling will look cool sticking out of the ground with the house scattered in pieces all around them.
 
The big’n won’t be gentle. They (the experts) say the shaking will last four to five minutes. The land its self will move west. Anything that was standing straight up before the shaking, won’t be after.
