Northwest at risk of megaquake like one in Chile

[Mizar]

Yes, Shy, things are heating up.
  I am prep ready, just sent messages to the local municipalities to get ready, I am sure they will be ignored .

Good posts Shy;
  Mainstream Media has  reported absolutely nothing on the recent increase in EQ activity in the PNW,  you can see on USGS and Canadian websites the increased activity, offshore, and onshore activity has increased recently up here,my preps are ready, I expect an event anytime, lifestyle choices include being hunkered down at home during lunar tidal stress advisories like this week, and traveling when the stresses are weak.

  Mizar,
        This is new to me, probably not to you    but I'm posting it anyway . . . .  Someone might be interested . . . .

Pacific Northwest faces higher risk of more frequent earthquakes: Study

The risk of a major earthquake striking the Pacific Northwest within the next half-century is greater than once thought, researchers have found using a new series of geological observations — another reminder to British Columbians to be prepared . . . . .

But new research by Oregon State University has revealed a more complex picture of the fault. Using carbon dating analysis of sediments on the Pacific Ocean floor, marine geologist Chris Goldfinger and his colleagues have determined that Cascadia isn't one big subduction zone, but rather at least four separate segments.

Their findings suggest that, instead of the entire fault rupturing at once, it will break in multiple, smaller parts, more frequently. The researchers predict a higher than a one-in-three chance of a major quake striking the Pacific Northwest within the next 50 year s. . . . .

Mag 4.1 offshore Vancouver island, late last night Pacific time.
  Right on the Lunar tidal stress advisory.

Mag 5.1 off Vancouver Island, 10:15 Pacific time. This is after the 5+ year Amchitka Alaska earlier today.
  I am starting to worry now.

Thinking of you Mizar.

World wide, w/i the last 24 hr., all 5.0+ quakes have been in either Alaska or New Guinea 'till Vancouver's.

Hi Shy, and all;
  Could be a pre-quake, as the Lunar Tidal stress will last for a few days, and then we get the Grand Cross going later in the week.
   I bought a few extra bottles of Wine today and tucked them to sleep safely in blankets.

Mizar, I modified my post while you posted here.  I went looking for context & noticed some temporally close (w/i 24 hr) Alaskan & Indonesian quakes.  That may not mean much 'cause those are two very active areas.
Hope you & your wine stay nicely tucked in these next few nights and you sleep well.

The Bots are calling for a biggie at the end of this week, right in my backyard.

Good thing I am off work tomorrow, time for final preps.

Wish us luck up here!

You've got all I can send your way M.

Watch the critters...(as you already know).

I'm in agreement with timeframe, and location...approximate.

Don't wait till the last minute to roll outta there.

Check the Caribbean Plate too, you guys.

It's getting the bejeeziz rattled out of it.
