Hahahahaha. It stimulates the blood and gets what's left of the fire in the boiler stirred up.

Historically these events span from 40˚N to 50˚N with 40-45˚ N receiving the greatest impact. At the time this was first discovered they were estimating a 10% chance in the next 50 years. More recent research has upped it to over 50% with an estimated shaking interval of 15 to 20 minutes. The infrastructure, especially the schools in rural Oregon from I-5 west will all be flat. There will be no fuel or power available for many areas for up to two years. Grim indeed. One thing most agree with is that we are not prepared. The evidence is overwhelming. The geological record is clear. On January 26, 1700 it took out the west coast and hit Japan with a huge tsunami according to Japanese records. On average one of these puppies goes off every 350 years + or -. I know it's all a lot of guess work too. Ham is the only thing I think will be available for the short and long term. Obviously the first few days/weeks will be total chaos. I'm on the local ARES and volunteer fire dept Board. When I heard about this I did some homework and purchased a K3. It wasn't a hobby motive at all even though I can see that it would be great fun time allowing. I'm here to serve my community and willing to learn as time allows. I respect ham and I respect the rules. I am also a realist and like as many options as I can get my hands on. It's just the way I think. No doubt there will be many of you assisting if this thing goes down in the next short time. For that I am grateful. My hope is that I will get a handle on this K3 line up to at least get a signal out when it is most needed. The club an ARES does regular sets and I participate whenever I can. I'll be the first to admit I am behind the 8 ball on this one.
