    Weather Channel just reported a 6 foot peak in Hawaii. It was the 1st time in over a decade they sounded the tsunami sirens.

    I suddenly had family and friends warning me about a tsunami here in the PNW last night. Haven’t heard of any flooding or anything so far.

    Still, I’m grateful that at least for now we have warning systems in place.

      My grandma was asking me if I had an evacuation plan. I told her if a tsunami was big enough to reach as far inland as Portland it would be the least of my worries.

    Hot conspiracy take:

    This was a man made earthquake orchestrated by Russia to destabilise the west.

    Thank you for listening to my TED talk

    EDIT: I’m sorry guys this was a joke but thank you for the downvotes!

      The epicenter is quite close to Russia, I think they would have picked another underwater fault line to nuke if that were the case.

      An explosion or explosions enough to set off a fault would be quite noticeable. A nuke has radiation that would quickly be sensed. And just predicting fault movement is still fairly impossible much less knowing how to cause fault movement.

        You wouldn’t detect any radiation if they detonated nukes near an underwater faultline. Water blocks radiation really well. They would notice it via seismic sensors since earthquakes look different than nukes when it comes to seismic waves.

          Oh… You’d notice it pretty quick when all the radioactive remnants from the bomb are vaporized into fine dust and spread out into the ocean in a constantly spreading plume.

          I bet people would notice real quick.

          Edit: autocorrect had turned “vaporized” into “baptized”, that made for a real confusing sentence… 🙄

          Water blocks radioactivity by becoming marginally radioactive itself. And yeah the seismic signature would be different as well.

        It would be trivial with the right harmonic frequency. A device anchored into the fault line could send pulses of ULF sound waves into the fault until it starts to resonate. Once that happens all you need to do is up the amplitude a bit and bobs your uncle, earthquakes on demand.

        You can pour water down a fault, greasing it until it moves a bit
