Welcome, one and all. I am your host, David Sakrisson. Let me introduce the new Cascadian Alert blog. This blog is a companion to a webpage titled Current Expectations for a Cascadia Mega-Quake, which is located at the following URL: https://cascadian.neocities.org/cascadiaquake.htm
A considerable amount of research, writing and updating has gone into the Cascadia Mega-Quake webpage, since it was first loaded to the Internet in the early part of 2014. The Cascadia page works to present a more realistic picture of what to expect, should a Cascadia mega-quake break loose with its full potential. That page also shows ways to potentially recognize when a world-class quake is about to happen. Furthermore, the page gives pointers on how to potentially prepare for such a devastating event.
In this Cascadian Alert blog, specific things relating to the Cascadia region of North America will be presented and discussed. Geologic issues from around the world may also be examined at times, as we search for lessons which can apply to Cascadia.
Your host, David Sakrisson, welcomes comments from readers. Readers may also contact David about subjects which may be of interest to discuss. One thing is to be noted -- the Cascadia Mega-Quake webpage and this blog are intended for the average person who may have some interest in geology and just simply wants a better understanding of what is going on. Your host will do his best to keep things at this level, so all can understand and enjoy the discussion.
With this short introduction, this blog is now launched.
Hi David, I sent to an email back in about 2016, and was glad I retained it, because you've done a most thorough job of exploring many interesting topics. I was hugely disappointed to find that your website was no longer up! You must have irritated the wrong person, which is not hard to do now days. I sent another email, but I don't know if the address is still valid, or if it went through. I'm in the foothills of the Olympics, on the North side, so your primary topic is of personal interest to me.
ReplyDeleteI just scanned one of your later blogs covering the possibility of rocks from the heavens. As an interesting cross reference, I recently watched a you tube "The Last Druid" , where the man interviewed stated the constructions in Britain known as 'long barrows' were built to shield the people from falling rocks. I visited one of these a few years back... an earth covered stone structure with a central passage and numerous small chambers on each side of the passage. Each chamber would have held an average family for a short while. It was quite long but much of it had been blocked off due to collapse toward the rear.
As the world situation gets more and more weird, it looks like 'prepping' is the order of the day, so I wanted to refer anyone interested, to your website, but it's gone (sigh). Might as well prep for everything! Be well. You are appreciated. N. Littlefish
Just discovered your blog - a renewed interest in Walker Lane led me here. Have decided to check out your posts from launch date. Am also interested in the Baja BC scenario. During lockdown I started following Nick Zentner's streamed geology lectures - CWU. This fall he's planning a series relating to Baja BC. I took Geo 101 at American River JC in 1965 when continental drift just got a quick mention. Love your posts. Thanks, and sorry to see your website is no longer available,
