Got my mind on doritos and doritos on my mind.

Woodsy Owl posted:

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.

Most of Tacoma would be fine! (For some definition of "fine" that includes being cut off from the region's major supply routes...)

I've lived here a long time and I don't think I've ever seen this kind of sustained downpour. My parents neighborhood got 10 inches in the last day.

When people bitch about the LA River being paved over, this is why they did it.
