They're not going to survive because there will be no bridge across the Columbia that can withstand the quake and they won't have enough PBR to last the extra week it will take aid to arrive. Because cars are evil, you know.

Your house.

That is indeed an impressive size for a cock, but I don't see why someone has to find somewhere else to live after "surviving" it.

I'd love to experience a 9.2

I live at the top of a beautiful but very, very old apartment building in NW which I'm sure will crumble in the first 2 seconds of the earthquake and I'll be among the first to die. YOU'RE WELCOME.

I'll stick around because maybe the rent won't be so damn high. The yuppies will lose their cushy jobs and all these new "affordable" $1200+ condos will lose their tenants and THE POOR WILL RULE ONCE AGAIN. We'll make art and beer and then it will be slowly gentrified again but at least there will be another golden age!

How bad could it be? The Multnomahn Injuns lived here in the freezing cold of Winter, and the near freezing cold of Spring and Fall. We'll forage for salmon berries in the Summer, shoot deer with bows and arrows, make our own arrow heads out of shattered concrete remnants of skyscrapers, cure deer hide for clothes and blankets, build log lodges out of trees from Forest Park, fish and fetch drinking water from the Willamette.

The homeless derelict bums who sleep on dogshit in the park, depending upon which park, might very well be far enough out of range of falling debris. They already know how to survive outside. Since all the stores full of Ripple will have been demolished, we must then turn to them for sober leadership.

The Oregon Theater, I spend most of my time there already.

So when Portland is a post-apocalyptic mess after the big one hits, will I finally be able to finally check out Screen Door for brunch without a 3-hour wait? I hear they've got great grits and French toast...

Yeah right! Screen Door is the FIRST thing other survivors will think of! That shit's gonna be worse than Costco, and with none of the fortifications for when the zombies inevitably show up.

What is this thread, even? "The 9.2"? It that like... the new y2k/2012? The new End Times that the wingnuts are latching onto? Can somebody fill me in?

Were we all supposed to just put it out of our minds, Forty? The ostrich buries his head in the sand, only to get his butt shot off. Isn't it time you all simply give up on Portland, cut your losses and head for someplace safer? Wyoming perhaps?

As long as San Francisco slides into the sea, I'm good.

I'll be fine. Probably move to my folks house in the on Mt. Hood, because I WAS BORN HERE. Move back to the midwest dipshit.

Harry Randall Truman (October 30, 1896 – May 18, 1980) was a resident of the U.S. state of Washington who lived on Mount St. Helens and came to brief fame in the months preceding the 1980 eruption after stubbornly refusing to leave his home. He was the owner and caretaker of Mount St. Helens Lodge at Spirit Lake. The lodge was located at the south end of Spirit Lake at the foot of the mountain, and was in the danger zone at the time of the eruption.

Its PEOPLE, thats the problem.i so wish the world government would hurry up and drop a chemical from the stratosphere that would sterilize a generation of the population. Less of you and less of me would ease so much strife and pollution. Eventually we could get back to makin' bacon but why not take a break for awhile?
