I know what you are seeing, but I don't think there will be a major earthquake during this time frame.
I could always be wrong.
There do seem to be a lot of people who are expecting something to happen.

Wait, weren't we just talking about this a couple of weeks back and you said you had your money on the cascadia subduction zone. We discussed the geologic window for such an event remember? Although you didn't suggest any timeframe it seemed to me like you are expecting it not too long into the future. So now not so much?

I think the marked increase in predictions may be due to the fact that you recently joined ATS.
Just curious, is there also an uptick in survival store banner ads as well?

No it didn't imply that. I know. I said you didn't discuss a timeframe. So before California has the big one but no timeframe for immediate action. Ok. And that's no psychic hunch just a general opinion that cascades is more imminent right? I don't remember you saying you get hunches like that ever so I'm guessing now.

My worry with Cascadia is just that we know that they have enormous earthquakes that happen suddenly. Sudden thrust (not strike/slip), and most people up there are not worried it or prepared for it like everyone is Cali is. It's hardly ever talked about as a thing. They spend more time worrying about the volcanos which are also a potential disaster waiting to happen.
And it has been far longer in Cascadia since they've had a major earthquake than it has been for Cali. It's not in our collective memory as a nation like the San Francisco earthquake still is. The only people living here who would have any kind of memory of a major Cascadia event would be the Native Americans in that region, and their's would be legends.
So it seems to me that if we are going to have a major earthquake of long period variety, Cascadia would be the one to be watching. It's the only one that hasn't popped off in the history of the country. Both California and New Madrid have. Highly unscientific, yes, but it seems to be the way these things go sometimes.

I also wonder if the upcoming cinema release of "San Andreas" a film set in the aftermath of the BIG ONE has got anything to do with it.
