Quite a good article, I found. People in the Pacific NW should [b]fear[/b] the prospect of the next big rupture of the Cascadia subduction zone occurring while the population centers there remain grossly unprepared, the only [b]uncertainty[/b] is precisely when this will occur, but there is no [b]doubt[/b] that taking prudent measures to prepare Seattle, Portland, Vancouver and their environs for a 9+ quake should be a high priority for the state and municipal authorities there.

USGS had 7.9 at first, but then it was upgraded. [URL="http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us20003k38#general_summary"]This event[/URL] Also showed as 7.9. Then it was adjusted and the big one went to 8.3.
