It seems that this concern has been brought up forever.

Why should we be more fearful now then let's say 30 years ago when people were saying that the NW is ill-equipped for an upcoming earthquake? Because the odds are going up? Or is there another reason?

Being in Portland, I assume the city will pretty much be destroyed, our bridges need help, older buildings without much preparedness. Any insight?

Have you ever found a subject that would have been fascinating to write about but you didn't as it would probably have pissed of too many people?

Love your work... keep it up.
