Is it just me, or is this the first time they have come out and predicted an earthquake, and said not if but when, not a series of small quakes but absolutely one huge one, and then started suddenly practicing for it(?) The Feds predict, not scientists? We should relocate off the coast because they know there will be a massive quake, like Californians should relocate off the coast because they already know el nino cannot be depended upon to end the drought. Alaskans should relocate off the coast for the same reasons, and all the forest fires. So… the Feds suddenly predict nature… (or control it)? If they don't control it… why does it seem like mother nature has signed on for Agenda 21's plan to relocate populations from the coastlines?
The comment about everything west of I-5 being toast was a little hyperbole. What he meant was all that area would be deeply affected by an earthquake. He does not mean that it's going to get whipped off the face of the earth. I mean just look at the tsunami indication maps for Washington state, very little area (comparatively speaking) would be effected directly by a tsunami — and Seattle not at all. A fault directly under Seattle would have to go for it to trigger a tsunami there. Portland, Vancouver and Seattle are all inland and not on the open ocean. The real problem in the larger cities is old buildings, infrastructure (bridges, roads, plumbing etc …), landslides and fill. Remember Oregon didn't update their building codes to take in great earthquake dangers until the 1990s! And Seattle has a lot of hills and fill.
'I live here in N. Cal. well west of Interstate 5 and so close to one of the parallel cracks of the San Andreas Fault, that it virtually runs through my property. The San Andreas Fault generally doesn't produce tsunamis because it is a strike slip fault and merely slips back and forth along its length. This can however cause underwater land slides which do cause tsunamis. I also live at 15 hundred feet and so I'm not worried about a 100 ft wall of water. To get to where I am, the tsunami would have to wash over the mountains west of me and they are 2000 ft. I'm not saying that's not possible as the ocean is miles deep, but I think that Mega Tsunami in this range must be very rare. Also, I know there are trees, Redwoods being the best examples, that grow almost down to sea level, and that are up to 1000 years old and you'd think they would have been washed away a long time ago if any wave high enough to reach where I am, were to have hit in the last 1000 years. Now if I lived another 100 mi north of here and or closer to sea level, I wouldn't be as fearless as I am. Anyway you can't live forever can you? So to say that "everything" west of Interstate 5 would be "toast" is hard for me to believe. Anyway I'm not going to move. I haven't got anywhere to go anyway. I also wonder why are they asking a Nuclear Physicist and not a Geophysicist about earth quakes? It seems that someone that has dedicated their life and time to studying earth quakes and tsunamis should supply the expert opinion in this matter. After all, you wouldn't ask a Marine Geologist about Quantum Physics would you?
Feds Predicts APOCALYPTIC Earthquake to Completely Wipe Out Major Cities in Pacific Northwest
If it wiped out all major cites along there it would kill more than 13,000. The math seems off.

So I live 3 hours away from seattle
dont forget about the nuclear power plants around that area thats why he says its about to be wiped out because of it these are planned
I'm nervous
Be more concerned about the Russians, this is diving deeeeep into the What if hole,,
Fox is out of News,
This is real
Im scared
If they really believed that don't you think the nuclear reactors would be put in mothballs ASAP. Surely Fukushima was warning enough.
