That was a good one.  I was working in Portland on the Portland Hills fault at the time with two other geologists.  We were in a field.  None of us felt anything but dogs from houses nearby started howling and barking.  We looked at each other, WTF?  Suddenly, all three of our cell phones went off.  Home offices letting us know that the day was going to get a lot busier...
 
We had planned a trip up to our son and his family, but postponed it until they could get a temporary traffic control tower set up at the airport.  They had a smaller one this year, too.

My grandma Di Pasquo used to drag my sister and I up to Forest Lawn Cemetery with the guise of visiting my grandfather and uncle's graves.  Once she got us up there, she'd find a fresh grave with flowers and vases on them, nab a couple of vases and then put us to work picking olives.  The cemetery was covered in olive trees.  It was embarassing but those olives sure tasted good once she was done with em.  Italians.....

Well, if you break them and fracture them and fault them over 40 or 50 million years at high strain rates (i.e., do it quickly) the rocks become punky.  Have you ever noticed how landslide-prone the Olympics are?  That's because the rocks are really beaten up.  Compare that to rocks of the continental interior where there's little faulting (not near a plate boundary).  The rocks are solid, strong and "ring" like a bell.  So, earthquakes on the west-coast tend to be big, but, the energy gets absorbed quickly by the punky rock.  Earthquakes on the east coast tend to be small but are felt long distances from the source.

Henry's Olives are still going strong, although, they are done in fresh batches so we won't see any until fall.

And for Janis, I don't usually link to wiki articles but this is a start:  Cascadia subduction zone.

I'm well.  Just finished a) finals, b) grades, and c) commencement.  Now, I've just got a ton of stuff that hasn't gotten done in the past 9 mos on my plate to get finished. 

Looks like you're traveling soon.  Have a great time!

Talk with me, walk with me....what's up???  We need to talk??

And what the heck does Cascadia mean?   Is it an intestinal issue people who live near the Cascades get, because if so, I'm headed to AZ.
