7.4 Quake Off Northern Cal Coast - Tsunami Warning Now Lifted

[[e-mail]]

Shortly after noon eastern time a 7.4 quake was noted
off the northern Cal coast - roughly at the level of
Eureka. It was a relatively shallow quake (10km) and
maybe 100 miles offshore.

As a result tsunami warnings were immediately issued.

However, something about this particular quake, it did
not seem to create much or any water displacement. The
potential was there, but the sea-bed didn't shift.

The infamous Japan quake caused a large shelf of the
sea bottom to abruptly rise 5-15 meters which caused
a huge bulge of water to be created.

It is reported in various news sources that SOME
physical damage was done near the coast just from
the shaking.

THIS time Cal got away with it. Won't always be thus.
Geologists have found signs of huge tsunamis all up
and down the US west coast, big enough to swallow
SanFran or most of LA. The entire area is unstable,
a ticking bomb, and humans - as typical - live on
happily in denial.

(and wonder why they can't get insurance any more)

Florida legislature will step in. If they let property values drop
due to market collapse, they lose all that property tax.

They always focus on California, seemingly ignoring the high tree line
in Oregon and Washington state.

Based on some of his wack posts, ***@ud0s4.net seems to be a ticking
time bomb :-D

Have the libbys blamed it on Trump yet?
They will.

Whoopsie and Joyless will find SOME way !

Oh wait ... it was caused by GLOBAL WARMING and
Trump is kinda skeptical about that, so .... :-)

In any case, bit by bit, western Cal/Oregon/Wash
is GOING DOWN. Won't happen tomorrow (dammit !)
but it's the long-term reality.

Note that there's been a considerable increase in
quake/volcanic activity around the entire Pacific
rim the past year or so. There are probably "big
cycles" involved here - and THIS one has only
just got started. RS-9s all up and down the US
Pacific coast ARE gonna happen. The trick - WHEN ?

Hey, just build iron structures - no more fragile
brick or concrete. Think lotsa cargo containers
welded together. Kinda expensive, but when the
world keeps shaking ......

The Cascadia Subduction has been known about a long time. It was
thought inactive, but evidence has been found it is still active.
It can swamp anything from northern California to British
Columbia. Evacuation routes have been mapped and possible
shelters, like multi-story parking garages, identified.

  Note that there's been a considerable increase in
  quake/volcanic activity around the entire Pacific

It does not work like. No volcanoes on Pacific plate edge; just
sporadic snaps of the plate with tsunamis. The general pattern of
subduction melting is known, but magma movement is not predictable
until it nears the surface.

Alta and Baja California have different kinds of earthquakes. And
like Japan building codes should keep buildings from killing
occupants. Bricks are not used unless they have steel rods.

If you want to worry about earthquakes, the New Madrid Fault will
rip the Ozarks apart. I heard they are starting to reinforce
buildings in Nashville, but I do not know how well.

I'm wondering when Mount Ranier will erupt and take out
Microsoft :-D

Remember Mt. St. Helens?

Heck, even South Carolina got hit with disaster:

At 7.3 magnitude, the Charleston earthquake of 1886 was the largest quake
to ever hit the Eastern United States. This earthquake killed at least 60
people and destroyed much of the city. Aftershocks, some of them large
enough to be damaging by themselves, continued for years.
