Damn you guys are getting pounded again? Where's Drty? Prepping his submarine or out exploring the new terrain provided by last weeks floods? I saw news about Mt. Hood being inaccessable for a while because of the damage. Hope you guys get through it ok.

In a paper published in the journal Nature, geology professor Roger Bilham says an earthquake of the magnitude he thinks is coming occurs only once in a thousand years.
A quake registering 8.0 or above would dwarf the temblor that killed thousands last year in the Pakistani region of Kashmir.
Bilham says there remains pent-up energy in the earth's surface which must be released through a mega-quake. It's the kind of quake that can completely erase entire cities.
Geophysics professor Roland Burgmann, at the University of California, Berkeley, studies earthquake cycles. He says Bilham is on to something, and conditions are probably ripe for a massive quake.

I'm going with the assumption that you don't know what a big storm is. :fdance: :)

That's not even a blip on the radar here. Hell my trees sway more than that when it's 85 and sunny outside.

500K without power. 200K alone on the island. Our block was spared. Downed trees and branches everywhere. It was cool.

Canadian males are well known for having abnormally elevated levels of estrogen. The only time toilet seats get lifted in Canada are when American males need to relieve themselves while on vacation up there - TRUTH.
