TIL that in the midst of a three-year killing spree, over which he is believed to have murdered up to 130 people, serial killer Rodney Alcala was featured as a contestant on The Dating Game, and was picked by the bachelorette. She never followed up on the date because she found him "creepy".

The area, which stretches off the coast from Vancouver to northern CA, is overdue for an estimated 9.0 quake. This would result in 3-5 MINUTES of shaking (compared to 15-30 seconds in a normal quake) and would result in a tsunami dwarfing the Japan tsunami of 2011. Once the quake happens, the PNW will have about 15 minutes of lead time before the tsunami hits. It's estimated that everything west of Interstate 5 would be unrecognizable and upwards of a million people would be displaced. Conservative death estimates are around 13,000 lives lost.
FEMA has conducted drills for this specific scenario called 'Cascadia Rising'.
on the bright side, my property value would skyrocket.1 -

Maybe a lil' ash, but that's okay. It will block out some of the Sun.
