Just got hit with a 4.8 earthquake.

After watching the video I posted here and thinking about the tsunami, in 2004, I believe. Killing over 230,000 people.
Such a tragedy, to think this Cascadia quake is predicted to wipe out Seattle and Portland and making everything west of Highway 5 rubble.
They are saying it's going to happen. It's not a question of if, it's when.
If I lived in that region I would consider moving.
Now that you mention it, I think I saw something about how much damage that quake would cause to the coast. I agree with you, I would move if I lived anywhere near that. It will certainly be tragic for all the people there, but by wiping out ports in that region will have repercussions for the rest of the country. I imagine that would affect Vancouver and possibly ports in Alaska. If that shuts off oil shipments from Alaska, that would really screw us all.
 
I saw a video today from someone on an upper floor area of a skyscraper. It was swaying pretty good.
I would have been quite unhinged during something like that but he seemed to handle it well.
