There may be a really "BIG" rumble in store for the West Coast of the
USA sooner than thought. The subduction zone is getting more and more
restless with high 3's and low to mid 4's all along the subduction
fold. This is the exact type of area that caused the Sumatra EQ in
2K4. They are occurring from Vancouver Island to the Cape Mendocino
termination point of the San Andreas. Mag. 8-9 is a reality and the
tsunami will be on the beach within 12 minutes.

You might want to check your maps a little more carefully.

A cluster of 3s and 4s in one spot off the Oregon coast hardly qualifies
as "occurring from Vancouver Island to the Cape Mendocino termination
point of the San Andreas". There is little reason to cry wolf from this...

And it is Juan de Fuca, not Juan de Fucia - just FYI

Another FYI, the quakes in question aren't even occuring on
the subduction zone.

I wondered if somebody would point that out. Wink
