aliboy Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 They've been saying that ever since the San Fransisco quake of '89. And I'm sure long before that one as well. It could happen, it may never happen in our lifetimes. If you would watch the program I posted the link to you would know this is no longer the case. They now have mud core data going back thousands of years that show the same pattern over and over again, with 4-5 monster quakes every several hundred years. These quakes come in groupings and we are right in the midst of the latest grouping, the boxing day tsunami quake was #1, chile was #2 and Japan was #3, at least one more to come, and the last is always the biggest, up the 3x bigger than the rest. The next quake WILL happen within the next few years, 5 years at the outside, but likely sooner and could happen anytime now. They also now know that the cascadia fault and the san andreas fault are part of the same giant fault and expect it will be the next to go, could be 9.0 to 9.4 earthquake from right off Vancouver Island straight down to san fransico and LA. There is no maybe about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuckerbird Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Correct me if I'm wrong, but is living in the Valley more earthquake friendly? If by earthquake friendly you mean more susceptible to greater damage, then yes. Living in the Fraser Valley, or anywhere near a river means that the base which the settlement is built upon, is likely composed of sediment or other loose material that would be more susceptible to liquefaction in the event of a powerful earthquake.

KamikazeWatermelon Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Another one? I know that earthquakes are supposed to happen on a regular basis, but I'm pretty sure the rate of 6.0+ earthquakes (excluding aftershocks) has picked up quite a lot in just these past few months alone.

-Vintage Canuck- Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) 18 killed as powerful earthquake jolts northeast India, Nepal GANGTOK: A powerful earthquake with a 6.8 magnitude hit Sikkim and several areas in the eastern part of the country and neighbouring Nepal, leaving 18 dead and over 100 injured besides causing extensive damage to buildings and roads. The epicentre of the quake - the biggest in two decades - was located at Mangan and Sakyong areas, over 50 km from Gangtok on the Sikkim-Nepal border. Seven persons were killed in Sikkim -- two at Singtham in east district, two in Rishi in west district and one at Mangan in north district, chief secretary Karma Gyatso said. Gyatso said that two others had also died in other places, but could not give details. In neighbouring West Bengal four deaths were reported -- three in Darjeeling district and one in Jalpaiguri district, chief secretary Samar Ghosh said. Of the deaths in Darjeeling district, one each occurred in Kalimpong, Kurseong and Siliguri sub-divisions, Ghosh said. In Bihar, two persons were killed in Nalanda and Darbhanga districts, official sources said. A five-year-old girl and a youth were the two victims, they said. At least five people were killed in Nepal, three of them outside the British embassy in Kathmandu, when a high brick-wall collapsed. Tremors were also felt in Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chandigarh and Delhi. Four teams of National Disaster Response Force have been rushed to Sikkim and five more teams were being sent from Kolkata, cabinet secretary Ajit Kumar Seth told reporters after a meeting of top officials in Delhi convened on the direction of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. http://timesofindia....ow/10033401.cms Edited September 18, 2011 by Vintage Canuck.
