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.

Heh heh, Japan issued a tsunami warning a few hours ago for the Westcoast. They had another big quake. Turned out to be just a 1 footer.:twak:

Holy hyperventilating drama queen. You can stop with the Al Gore Chicken Little routine. I'm sure you're all askeered, but the sky isn't falling.:fdance: :jump: :jump:

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.

It's ok if you're askeered - you're a little guy and a Big gulp cup might fly in the wind and trap you under it.:jump: :jump: :jump: :jump: :fdance:

Damn funny. But how did you hit "Submit Reply" if the power went off.:shhh: :fdance:

It's about over. You can come out of the storm shelter pretty soon.

Horry chit!!!!!

It's really bad now! Flights cancelled, Ferries are shut down, Power outages everywhere(Including my son's school. Gonna pick him up), Trees and branches going down. Floods a plenty.

4-5 inches of rain and 80-100mph winds expected during the next few hours.

I love it!!!!!:jump:


Except for the cancelled meetings.:shhh:

Yep, we're in a pattern.

Hopefully they'll start coming from farther north and dive down here and drop some fluff.
