deuce-ish: I've always been a little curious about that as well.

One would have to assume, if one part of the earth moves suddenly, that it wouldn't be crazy to expect another part to move suddenly as well in a short time frame.

Of course there is some question on the elasticity of the earths crust being a relevant variable (and all kinds of other things that I'm sure I'm not considering.)

...moreso the fact that there was a nearly 9.0 quake on the plate I share.

I hope to not have like reciprocal settling on my side...and I'm not sure if that's even a thing...but everytime there's a big asian quake I get a little nervy for a few days.

based on airtight causation (CO2 goes up and the climate changes which everyone knows is settled science), this is a very difficult thing to model. Some of those waves can be just a couple inches high but over a mile thick. I don't think there are any fault lines that pose a material tsunami risk to the continental US, but the two big ones that have hit Asia in the past twenty-five years are pretty conclusive evidence for me to get the fuck to a mountain if I'm ever near the coast in Asia and feel a major quake.

That sumnabitch in Fukushima was going like 400 mph. Having been in a number of "ordinary course" quakes in Tokyo, I'll take a hundred hurricanes over one big quake. Those things are freaking nightmare fuel.

remarkable that predictions can’t be made. it may be 0 inches. it may be 2 inches. it may be 20 feet. we don’t know. but RUN FIR YOUR LIVES!

at least the hurricane and tornado hype and over forecasting and over warning is orchestrated. this is literal no effing idea
