Cascade subduction will be devastating for any body on the coast…a potential 7 story wave with 40sec notice. Then no way of getting help. PNW needs to invest in helicopters. Past the mountains will be earthquakes. Inland will not be bad, but brick and masonry places will understandably have issues, but the coast will be deadly.

I drove back to Vancouver from tofino the other week. If one tree drops on any of those roads, then I don't see how anyone makes it out in time.
