This should have been entitled "311 Years Ago Tonight".... Ack.... my mind
is not entirely untracked from 2010.

Tonight is the 310th anniversary of the last Great Quake on the
Cascadia Subduction Zone stretching from Cape Mendocino to Vancouver Island
and resulting Pacific Ocean Basin-wide tsunami event... for comparison think
2004 Andaman-Sumatra Quake and Indian Ocean Tsunami but right here on the
West Coast and around the Pacific Rim.

Wikipedia has a good page on it with many great links:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1700_Cascadia_earthquake

Some of the most interesting research on this event comes from the
aboriginal legends and below are some great links on this great
multi-disciplinary scientific "murder" investigation of a geological and
hydrologic crime committed 310 years ago tonight.

An automatic anniversary notice will post here when the precise time
of the earthquake arrives at around 9 PM.
