Yikes what for?
Someone started a thread asking what the proper message board etiquette is. I responded, "Don't be a tw*t, but if you are at least try to be a funny tw*t."

At least I assume that's what it was, never got any kind of specific notification. Just tried to log in the next day and, "You have been banned for the following reason: Rules violations"
 
Cascadia Subduction Zone. I never heard of it until a year and a half ago. Forty years ago, nobody knew of it. WHEN it goes off, my fish keeping will come to an end, since my house will be destroyed. If I should survive the earthquake and resulting tsunami, I can plan on not going any where as all the bridges will be down. There will be no electricity or water to my area for six months or more. I had heard about the San Andreas Fault for most of my life--it is nothing compared to Cascadia which those in the know say is associated with the ring of fire--just what we need is volcanos on the west coast to become active... :(

Our little local water community services district needs to shore up a hillside and upgrade to a bigger tank. To get grants and funding for this project, the community neighbor hoods are being organized and trained for emergency/disasters. There are all kinds of disaster plans, including FEMA plans. When Cascadia goes off, the plan is to drop emergency food and supplies to an air strip located over 20 miles inland. I thought that was sort of weird, since our town has an airport.....then I remembered that the town will be wiped out by the tsunami....a poor town that sustained major destruction from tidal waves in 1964 following the Alaska earthquake.

There are many documentaries on Cascadia Subduction Zone. Here's one the BBC did:



Time to become a serious doomsday prepper.
I've known about it for years, as far as prepping for it, prep to get out, things could get violent very quickly , so keep that in mind.

Do
Certainly something for me to think about. We do have a well down the hill but it needs a pump. Our 20kw generator will probably be useless. I'm thinking portable solar generator. If I get a 500 gallon water tank, we would be able to pump water up to the tank. 6 month food supply tents camping gear.. wow we're going completely backwards on this... All the creature comforts to just trying to survive. There are so many what-ifs... Several years ago there were bad fires that came within 3 miles of us. Last year a very bad fire that burned for weeks came within 7 miles... So in theory I could have everything to survive an earthquake and have it all destroyed by fire... But that's not a a valid reason not to plan to survive Cascadia. The only way my fish will survive is if the house slides down the hill and the fish somehow survive and make it into the river
dont forget weapons either, often merely flashing a terrifying weapon can stop an attack.
