I live in the Portland area and so I'm interested in the impact. A 8.0 earthquake just happened inland in Peru. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Peru_earthquake https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Peru_earthquake 2 people died. From what I understand subduction zone earthquakes can be terrible, but it depends on the depth in the ocean at which they occur. If they are the right distance from shore and depth, devastating. But, further out and deep enough, they can often result in no tsunami. Does anyone know if that's supported by evidence? I also keep seeing the author's quote about a 1 in 3 chance within 50 years that the big one hits. But in other places I've seen it say 5%. I'm a little confused by that number and what's correct. It's scary either way. But, it does seem like the biggest death tolls occur where massive populations are spread near the coast, like in Indonesia.
