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 -

Why, is July a special time for you? (ETA- ahh, missed the comment about blocking out the sun.) I'd think you'd prefer it at Christmas time.. enjoy a little snow for once.0 -
