I guess it’s a good reminder about the big “Cascadia one” to hit one day.

Cascadia, something big in / near the Salton Sea ..or further south in the Gulf of CA..  Always have to be ready for a little shaking from time to time..

Will be interesting to see if this event adds any stress on the Cascadia zone itself..  Don't think it would add much, but everything is connected ..so.. We'll have to wait and see..

As a side note, while they might not occur as often as further west, AZ and nearby Sonora Mex. are considered a fairly active -earthquake-wise-

On a broader scale, experiencing a major earthquake or two during a 70-100 year lifespan is nothing burger compared to Nat. hazards faced elsewhere in the U.S...

Standing outside, watching the ground roll like ripples on a pond for a few seconds during one of the major aftershocks experienced right after the 1989 quake was actually kind of fascinating.

Opens ones eyes to how dynamic the seemingly rock solid ground we live on actually is.  Makes me want to be out in the desert somewhere when a bigger quake happens here ..Just to watch all the Saguaro " sway in the breeze ", lol.

Ya, not going to be fun.  Cascadia will generate a 9.0 subduction zone quake -- literally obliterate the coast and everything west of I-5.  Tsunami 15-20 minutes after quake.  Waves 50 feet high.  Vancouver/Seattle/Portland strong damage.
