[Geoldept] Happy Cascadia Earthquake Day

[Jackie Caplan-Auerbach]

Cascadia Earthquake Day is also the day that I restock my earthquake kit--consider doing the same! Don't have a kit? This is your day to build one!  Lots of info about making a preparedness kit at https://www.ready.gov/kit<https://ww.w.ready.gov/kit>.

I also just wrote a long Twitter thread about this day and EQ preparedness, so feel free to read the links there: https://twitter.com/geophysichick/status/1354140821524647937

Hello geopeople,



On this day (Jan 26), 321 years ago, at about 9:00 PM local time, our very own subduction zone produced a nice Mw 9.0 (+) earthquake.



Here is a short news article : On this day in 1700, the ‘really big one’ — a magnitude 9.0 earthquake — hit Western Washington | The Seattle Times<https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.seattletimes.com%2Fseattle-news%2Fnorthwest%2Fon-this-day-in-1700-the-really-big-one-a-magnitude-9-0-earthquake-hit-western-washington%2F&data=04%7C01%7Ccaplanj%40wwu.edu%7C7b7b1740bdca4599c58408d8c229ed42%7Cdc46140ce26f43efb0ae00f257f478ff%7C0%7C0%7C637472832658377375%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=A3Wi1x70uOzXHAXTQafuN%2B7V%2B6F1kthRvjMx%2Fj41FNA%3D&reserved=0>
