Event "Everything west of Interstate 5 will be toast"

[HailBlazers]

An earthquake will destroy a sizable portion of the coastal Northwest. The question is when.

 

[PDXFonz]

It probably sounds crazy but I've had a feeling we are overdue for a substantial earthquake. It's definitely possible.

 

[BlazerWookee]

I hope it happens when I'm at home. I work literally less than 300 feet west of I-5...

Olshey will have to rebuild the team yet again.

Scientists agree its true.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

None of you westsiders can come over to the eastside when this shit goes down. especially people from Beaverton.

If that tear is accurate, I'll end up with beachfront property!

Trade Lillard before he leaves us! While we can still get value!

I called it!

 

[DUB]

Thanks for that HailBlazers, it was a great read.

we are now three hundred and fifteen years into a two-hundred-and-forty-three-year cycle

twenty-seven thousand injured, almost thirteen thousand dead

You guys are screwed.

 

[barfo]

If it is only 13,000 dead, that's not bad at all for a 300-year disaster.

Course, I'll have to shoot a lot of you afterwards to take your food. It'll be like Road Warrior with mud instead of sand.

Most likely those pesky corrupt scientists again. Plate tectonics is all nonsense, Denny will explain why.

The author of SPD's article is Kathryn Schulz. She was the book critic for "New York" (I assume some magazine) before joining the New Yorker as a staff writer in 2015.

She's no scientist.

Your feeling would be correct. We are way overdue for a 9.0 quake from the Cascadia subduction zone.

[Denny Crane]

Anyhow, it's more likely that the plate tectonics will rip a good chunk of the west coast off the continent and move it north, but that's going to be a long time from now.

According to the USGS.

10% chance in the next 50 years is worse than our chances of winning a championship in the next 50 years.

 

[ripcityboy]

Dwayne The Rock Johnson will save me.

10% chance in the next 50 years is worse than our chances of winning a championship in the next 50 years.

But the thing is that the earthquake will happen the year we are set to win a championship.

 

[santeesioux]

Y'all can camp out in my backyard in tents when this happens.

 

[Chris Craig]

Still waiting

 

[Chris Craig]

Dwayne The Rock Johnson will save me.

You know the sequel to San Andreas is going to be about this very event. Cascadia

No biggie, Moda Center is east of I-5.
