Sure, all the so called leadership will hold meetings till hell won't have it and nothing will be done. I don't think anything can be done. The Japanese at least tried and their success is washing ashore as we speak.
We're going to find out. Maybe we'll lucky and a "worst case" won't happen and only a few thousand folks will be killed. Unless tourism is effected, it's no big deal, eh?

This is a joke right? If the big one hits I don't think you will be seeing many tourists after a few thousand get washed out to sea...and what will be left standing. NO and NJ are still not right after Katrina and Sandy.
U folks are really jerkin yourselves if yo think that this sort of event will not dramatically change the lives of people in the PNW. The studies are concluding a few tens of thousands. This could wipe a coupla hundred thousand with ease. Take a look at the Tsunami that hit Sri Lank a few years back 250,000 dead.
So do ya feel lucky today?
