The West Coast of the USA might be hit next

This has been an accident waiting to happen since 1906. People can't say they weren't warned when it finally happens.
 
The West Coast and the midwest are due for massive quakes. We've gotten a few tremblers, with increasing frequency, here in Chicago, including one last year that was roughly 20 miles from my campus apartment.

The US is not ready for what's coming. Japan was prepared for a trembler this big and look what happened to them. If the big one(s) come, the US is screwed.
 
Oh hopefully it won't come before Prop 8 is struck down at last in order for Pat Robertson and Co. to be able to blame plate tectonics on homos again.
 
I was thinking about this the other day when CNN was looking at all the preparations Japan had made. One was seawalls -- very few places on the U.S. west coast have any, and the ones there are, are pitiful. The only ones I know of on the Oregon coast -- all of two -- are one meter and 1.5 meters high, respectively. Another is that Japan provided places to go to in case of a tsunami, not just warnings to get to high ground; CNN showed a park on what in the U.S. would be prime real estate, made big enough to hold most of the town's people. Here, we have signs pointing to where high ground is, but no provision for people to actually gather. Also, in Japan private entities cooperate with the government for disaster planning; here, they gripe and refuse -- an example being two towns here where if a short back road were put in to get to logging roads, everyone in the towns could get out of the way quickly, and there would be enough room on the logging roads for everyone to park, eighty and more feet above sea level, but the logging people won't allow that short connection, leaving people with the only way out a three-mile stretch of road no more than twelve feet above sea level, or a back road with room for no more than perhaps two hundred cars (there is a road up over a cape, but there are at least three fault lines running under it; odds are that a big enough quake here to cause a tsunami would cut that road in two places and cause a serious slump in another, that probably wouldn't be passable).

Oregon is overdue for a big one, in the 8.0 to 9.0 range. But a geologist who specializes in such things recently showed that Oregon's big ones almost invariably follow a big one in California. So we're keeping an eye on California: if they get an 8.0 or above, it's time to get really serious about being ready.
