The Tyee – Excuse Me, but #Catastrophe Looms
►http://thetyee.ca/Opinion/2011/08/17/Cascadia-Fault-Earthquake-Looms
apparemment il est difficile d’intéresser les gens à un futur tremblement de terre :
Even though Cascadia’s magnitude 9 will have a far larger footprint of damage than any of the famous San Andreas disasters, even though the seismic impacts will be worse than five Katrinas — why get worked-up about something that may not happen on our watch? There’s a 10 per cent chance this quake will happen in the next 50 years. Perhaps we’ll be lucky.
