Cool fact -- this article's author won the Pulitzer for best feature writing in 2016. [0]
That said, Cascadia subduction zone is one of the most underrated threat to the western sea-board of the entire North American continent, imo.

- mrhappyunhappy 8y agoI wonder what the effect would be on the Japanese coast? I live only a mile away from the ocean in Japan. From a similar quake in 1700 it looks like it would take 8 hrs to get here so I’d probably have plenty of time to evacuate. Perhaps I should be more worried about quakes off the coast here instead.
