[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there anywhere you would not live because of earthquakes or other seismic activity (tidal waves, etc)?[/quote] Yes. I would not live real near the coast of any active region. If I were in Pacific Northwest, for example, I would want to be at least 50m above sea level Basically, when the big one hits, there will be as little as 10 minutes to get to higher elevation before a 10 to possibly 40m wave hits. In some places, you just will not have enough time to get to higher ground. [/quote] PP in Seattle here. Thanks! You're reaffirming my decision to buy our house at one of the higher land points in the area. Now to check the exact elevation ... [/quote] There is no real tsunami hazard in the Puget Sound. The hazard is in the coast. What scares me with Seattle (and Portland) is not the Megathrust earthquake that people talk about, but the magnitude 7 right under the city. [/quote]
