Well researched book, about a huge threat to the Pacific Northwest, how it was discovered and what will happen if it splits as history says it will.

Fascinating and accessible book that traces the scientific discoveries of the danger of the Cascadia fault and how to prepare for an eventual quake/tsunami. Really enjoyed it.

When we moved to Eugene in 2019, we had no idea about the Cascadia fault, despite the fact that we came here from Southern California and were well aware of the California faults and earthquakes (I especially remember the morning in 1971 when I woke up to the Sylmar quake.) We were at a neighborhood emergency response meeting the week after we moved here and one of the participants mentioned the Cascadia fault. That prompted me to get this book from the library.

It's pretty well-written by a Canadian journalist, and reads like an investigation in a criminal case. Instead of criminals, we have the Earth. It recounts the various methodologies involved over the course of the last 55 or so years used to unravel what this subduction is up to and what sort of past events have occurred because of it. It could use updating for the last 10 years, though.

When we were renting a house in Yachats for a few days last month, both the tsunami inundation map on the wall and the tsunami evacuation signs on 101 made us well aware of what could happen any day now.

Concise but accessible study of the great fault off America's Pacific Northwest coast, including comparisons to the great Japan earthquake and tsunami of 2011. A fascinating read.
