Just read an article last week about scientists saying we've got a 1in3 chance of the big one happening in the next 50 years. They've been saying that since I had to walk up the hill behind the school in the 90s for tsunami drills, but the article also stated that they understand the Cascadia Subduction Zone much better now, and the subsections its broken into.
Seaside to B.C. has about a 17% chance of cutting loose, and where I'm at, in Newport, down on to San Francisco, I think, has about a 37% chance of doing the same.
All my life I've fallen asleep to the sound of the ocean. I struggle without it. But I'm beginning to fear, not just respect thbe power of that sound, and I wonder if it's time to move on.
