did any chaparral burn recently down there? those san luis obispo landslides were a combination of a 100 year rain storm and oily ash from a recent chaparral burn. a burn three years or less is the worst for landslides: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10346-020-01506-3

Just looking quick doesn't seem like anything major in 2023. You should look back about three years though, which is typically how long it takes the burn scar to recover enough to no longer be hydrophobic. https://www.fire.ca.gov/incidents/2023

I've been reading a lot about the impending Cascadia Megafault earthquake. The fault is about 75 miles off the coast of the PNW, spans Vancouver Island to Northern California. After the shaking stops, there will be massive tsunami that will reach far inland in the PNW, flooding and wiping away everything at up to about 100-150 feet elevation. The tsunami will reach Japan. The last time this happed was in 1700 (recorded in Japanese history and First Nations oral tradition), and we are due for another one. I've started dreaming about it. The scariest part is that in the next 50 years it is estimated to have a 1:10 chance in occurring. And in the next 150 years it's odds are 1:3 And nobody seems to care.

During the 5-6 minutes of shaking, water-rich soil will undergo liquefaction, effectively becomig quicksand, swallowing homes and schools and preventing people from escaping to higher ground while the run from the a tsunami which will hit the PNW coast 15 minutes after the shaking stops

I'm at the very south end of where it will hit and thankfully we already get tons of earthquakes so it won't be a novel thing. I did recently move from sea level to 100ft uphill tho..

the entire greater seattle/tacoma area is extremely vulnerable to earthquake-caused critical infrastructure and building damage. they've just not had earthquakes (due to the fault catching, pulling, then releasing every few hundred years, as opposed to the constant small shakes much of the rest of the rim sees) so they've not had to spend the money like LA does it would take way too much money to make the metro resilient, and there's even less money from the state going to all those towns out on the pacific coast. every single one of them will be inundated because they all built critical infra without tsunamis and tsunami evac routes in mind. i've heard a lot of them don't even have working sirens. seattle will be completely crippled, especially because of their geography limiting travel to just a few dense corridors like the i5 and i90. lots of people will die and it'd take way more money than any city council/mayor will ever spend to fix titty_baby_ posted:You should really save some $ and consider this a 10-30% chance to get some primo pnw coast real estate in the future plate is going to slip lower, so actually there will be less real estate to go around after. better buy a parcel upland in hopes it'll become beachfront later

It’s more of a problem in Washington than Oregon because most of Oregon’s coast is pretty close to serious elevation but large parts of the most populated parts of Washington’s (like around Longview) really aren’t Newport Oregon on the south side of the river is a bad spot tho and they built a building that’s supposedly engineered to withstand the tsunami https://marinestudies.oregonstate.edu/marine-studies-building
