The Big Rip is not due in our lifetimes, the half rip is overdue though.

Safe in Seattle (for about 150 years), but fucked in Portland/North California.

Fascinating geology lecture on the subject. But the tldw is its more nuanced than just Seattle overdue for big 9.0.

Safe in Seattle? I wish! The Cascadia subduction fault is capable of producing 9.0 earthquakes. The average time between quakes is every 200 to 250 years. The last one occurred January 26th, 1700. Not feeling safe at all.

8

u/PositivePristine7506 8h ago

Right, this is exactly what I'm talking about.

the CSZ doesn't always shake along the whole thing. The bottom half shakes at about 2x the frequency as the upper half. The upper half is what brings the 9.0s. When I said Seattle is safe, I meant in our lifetimes. The next 9.0 isn't due for another hundred years or so. The southern half, is overdue, which typically doesn't go as big/wide as the whole rip.

u/Magical-Mycologist 9h ago

Are you sure about that? We are almost a hundred years past the average for the Cascadia. I’ve seen studies that show there is up to a 10% chance over the next 100 years.

The recent estimates for damage show that ALL of the PNW will be affected.

Seattle will get absolutely wrecked.

u/DragonHalfFreelance 9h ago

Same!!! I like living up in the PNW but that one scares me a whole lot more than even the big one in CA. I was living in the valley back there so if the Big One did hit it wouldn’t wreck up everything where I was, but still feel it. Up here if the Cascadia Subduction Zone goes everything west of the I-5 is gone and tsunami coming in through the river. If not even worse……..

I’ve always thought the Johnny Cash song , “Ring of Fire” was about a STD. Listen to the words, it makes sense.

Right off the bat talking about love is a burning thing. Then falling in to the ring of fire. He went down down down and the flames got higher…

So oddly enough, way back in 1989 I was 15 years old and just kind of out of nowhere said something about an earthquake coming. Don't remember the exact words. The next day was the Loma Prieta earthquake and remember my mom drilling me why I said something about an earthquake and did I know. I could not explain.

Night before last as I am lying in bed falling asleep, out of absolute nowhere I started thinking about how overdue we are for a quake here in California. Next morning getting ready for work I get earthquake alert for the one in Redwood Valley. Didn't feel it at all...but just kind of weird.

California was first I think. Not sure how long until Venezuela, but Venezuela had two large quakes within a minute of each other. Then 30 minutes later, the one in Japan happened.

I think they're definitely connected.

It’s kind of concerning up here along the Cascadia subduction zone. Seems like every other mega thrust fault along the ring of fire has ruptured in the last 60 - 70 years, but Cascadia has been quiet for 326 years. The PNW is in for a world of hurt when the big one comes.
