This is part of the Cascadia subduction zone where a ocean plate is sliding under a land plate. In 1700 Japan was hit by a very large wave, that came from this area guess are that it could have been an 8 or great mag. The Juan de Fuca plate run from norther CA to Canada, a rupture could happen anywhere along that ridge.

I am from afar country browsing your site. You guys don't have to worry when the earthquake meaasures between 4-5 on on the Ritcher Scale. After a time by the extent of the quake you will know what is the strength and its consequences. See the Beaufort scale Browser

am assuming it's this end of the San Andreas? and a good question previous.,any speculation as to when?, and viability of warning system? The Asian tsunami struck with five to eight meter,(18-24 foot) waves and a current that took only two and a half hours to travel up to 600 kilometers.,the same as 400 miles., before landfall and procceded over two miles inland in many areas. Just a thought.

So, what will this do to the fault? Realease pressure or build up pressure? Is this the four-runner to the big one?
