I don't think they're saying that.
But from what I recall reading, the big one that hits Seattle will exceed the big one that hits the Bay. Seattle's big ones are higher magnitude but less frequent. Iirc it's also likely the 9.0 that hits Seattle won't be in most of our lifetimes. The last really big one was before Europeans arrived.

- rapind 3y agoYes and a lot of these suburbs are built upon the mudslides from previous (recent) eruptions (few million people). Last I heard it was a 1 in 7 chance in my lifetime. It's incredibly stupid and dangerous. Mudslides can travel up to 50 mph or more, and it doesn't even need to be an eruption that kicks it off.
