Don't be in Oregon when that tsunami strikes!

John Hodgeman says, "In Oregon, Where the Shadows Lie." so I don't find it so mysterious a notion.
There's been a lot of actual effort in the area I live in to not only simulate (and out up on the news over and over, thanks a bunch Microsoft...), but create some sort of evacuation plan in case of such a thing. I believe Seaside, Oregon has been working on such things for awhile now.
Though, the tsunami threat is old news. It's been circulating for the past 30+ years and for some reason people keep emigrating to Washington. I'm thinking the backup plan of the state government is to create a buffer of their mutli-million oceanfront condos. It's only plausible.
Also, you have a much older threat of being in a lava flow mega-apocalypse, or even older than that, living on the quite active line where two tectonic plates meet (I have a bad habit of sleeping through earthquakes now... oh vey, not another one, *snooze*
).
So, really, if you're in need of multiple natural threats, or just bored, Oregon and Washington are not so bad.
It's like a live-action convention for geology and other earth sciences .
If worse comes to worse, I'll travel up via the Cascades, hop across some islands, and just find a lovely Alaskan family to adopt me. There's my evacuation plan.
