Thanks. The same can be said for Seattle, built on the lahars that native people storied about.

@Mooolah A tsunami would wipe out Pioneer Square and other low lying areas of Seattle. Due to the subduction fault off the coast that runs form Northern California to Alaska, eventually a tsunami will happen when the fault moves. They say it can generate mor ethan a 9 on the Rector scale.

@snytiger6 30 minutes to evacuate Seattle when Mt. Rainier blows. Put me off from relocating there. That mountain needs a name change.

@Mooolah Yeah, it is supposed to be one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world. I've heard in the early 1800's it completely buried old Seattle.

@Mooolah the plant was built with inferior cost cutting American expertise. The area is renowned for its activity. A wise decision is to not build in such areas.

@snytiger6 "pave paradise & put in a parking lot."

@Mooolah If you consider that the high water marks of the tsunami was a couple of feet below ancient stone markers with warnings not to build below the stone markers, it was very negligent to build a nuclear plant there.
