So, in the TL;DR...what's the upper limit for the Cascadia zone?

Between 8.7 and 9.2, plus a tsunami upwards of 100 feet high

Damn, that is messed up. When it comes to natural disasters the most we have to worry about here is some flooding in the basement. Though at my cottage in Indiana we did have to worry about a tornado or two.

That... that is gonna suck a lot of dick when it happens.

Kinda diggin' how an earthquake that essentially starts in California is going to **** up everything not-California in the vicinity with a giant wave.

I mean, the Earthquake will screw us pretty hard, but the Earthquake on top of the hoog-phuck tsunami is like a double-kick in the ass.

That would be a terrifying combo, if the caldera blew after that quake. Yikes.

Heard about this recently through - of all people - author Neil Gaiman's twitter account. But yeah, it's a real thing. And a fascinating article. Well worth a full read, for those interested.
