Massive Mega Quake Predicted To Destroy The Pacific Northwest 2-6-2016
A new report predicts that a mega-earthquake could kill an estimated 13,000 people and destroy a sizable portion of the Pacific Northwest. By the time the shaking has ceased and the tsunami has receded, the region will be unrecognizable. Kenneth Murphy, who directs FEMA’s Region X, the division responsible for Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Alaska, says, “Our operating assumption is that everything west of Interstate 5 will be toast.”

To the north of California’s famous San Andreas fault is a less known, but possibly more deadly, fault line. The Cascadia subduction zone runs some 700 miles from northern California to Vancouver.
In a deeply reported article for The New Yorker, Kathryn Schulz tells the tale of how this fault lies dormant for periods of 243 years, on average, before unleashing monstrous tremors. The Pacific Northwest is 72 years overdue for the next quake, which is expected to be between 8.0 and 9.2 in magnitude.
At the upper end of that scale, Schulz notes, we would experience “the worst natural disaster in the history of North America.” (The major 2011 earthquake in Japan was a 9.0, killing more than 15,000 people.)
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) already has an emergency response plan for when this earthquake hits. Parts of FEMA’s quake expectations are truly terrifying. As Schulz writes:
FEMA projects that nearly thirteen thousand people will die in the Cascadia earthquake and tsunami. Another twenty-seven thousand will be injured, and the agency expects that it will need to provide shelter for a million displaced people, and food and water for another two and a half million.
These projections are based on a scenario that has the earthquake striking at 9:41 a.m. February 6. (The agency isn’t trying to predict the future or saying that the earthquake will definitely occur then, they just need a date to plan around.) The toll would be far higher on a warm day, when more people — often huge crowds of people — are at the beach or in the water.
When the quake does occur, its severe effects and the impacts of the following tsunami (“It will look like the whole ocean, elevated, overtaking land”) will be felt all the way from Canada to Sacramento, in densely populated cities like Seattle and Portland.
What’s more, the Pacific Northwest is not earthquake ready. Buildings aren’t retrofitted properly and there aren’t many effective emergency warning systems or escape plans in place.
MegaQuake not only have portable disaster morgues been shipped to four states in what appears to be preparation for a Large Earthquake in the New Madrid Seismic zone. Now FEMA is also preparing for an Imminent large 8.0 to 9.2 Magnitude Earthquake in the already locked and overdue Cascadia Subduction Zone.

Don’t fall for this hype and BS story my friends. They make these assumption based on supposed past disturbances. You must know that mother earth does not live to our time line and will do what it will do when the physical affects within set off that storm.
IE: Voicing that fear mongering line of BS, is used to make it look like the USGS is doing a good job, but it is all total BS. They can no more predict an earthquake than a man in the moon. They like most losers use percentages to make their predictions sound and seem plausible.
These people come off like Chicken Little, crying, “The Sky Is Falling, The Sky Is Falling”. Just what do you idiots expect the people to do with this information when you blather with such authority.
Should be interesting to watch. Since the last New Madrid quake in Missouri reportedly rang church bells in Boston, I have to wonder if when this Cascadia Subduction lets go, might it somehow reach across the Rockies and trigger the New Madrid Fault?
Something to think about.
if a quake hits on Feb 6th it will be caused by a nuke being set off by the elite
February 6th, huh? I will believe you if you can pick my Powerball lotter numbers and that’s only 4 days away but that should be no problem for you!
We split the profits to get ready for the 6th of February! Deal?
A mega quake in the Northwest couldn’t be a better place to happen. Lots and lots and lots of mentally ill liberals infest that whole area. Tons of uber liberal companies like Starbucks are located in Seattle. It would be nice to wipe out 90% of that area. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving place.
