| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. The article doesn't discuss the downside. [Regnum] According to seismologists, the United States may be threatened by a 30-meter tsunami and a 9-point earthquake, the British newspaper Daily Mail reported. Experts have found signs of a possible cataclysm by surveying the Cascade Subduction Zone and identifying four segments along the 970-km-long fault that stretches from the US-Canada border to northern California, the report said. The data was obtained through high-precision underwater photography. In the coming years, the region could experience tremors that would cause a powerful tsunami that would threaten several states, the authors noted. In the worst-case scenario, tens of thousands of people could die from the cataclysm, and the economic damage would be enormous, the article says. The detailed image of the fault suggests that the potential earthquake and tsunami in the region could be the largest in history, the authors noted. Researcher and marine geophysicist Suzanne Carbotte pointed out that current U.S. emergency response plans are based on outdated information and that the country is not prepared for a disaster of this magnitude. As reported by the Regnum news agency, Hurricane Milton reached Florida on October 9. Forecasters and scientists expected Milton to become one of the strongest hurricanes in recorded history, but upon reaching the coast, it weakened significantly. Nevertheless, the elements had a devastating impact on several states at once. At least 14 deaths were reported, more than 5 million US residents were evacuated, and 3.5 million people were left without power.
This drill envisions the aftermath of a catastrophic magnitude 9.0 earthquake striking along the well-known Cascadia Subduction Zone, alerting authorities to anticipate a situation where they must navigate the complexities of rescue and recovery in the quake's aftermath; on it, the IronOR initiative fosters interagency collaboration and aims to streamline the flow of critical information to policymakers, for, undeniably, in such harrowing times, clear communication is crucial for effective disaster management. Participants are expected to hone in on critical areas such as human services, focusing on sheltering, public information, and communications, all within the challenging context of coordinated inter-agency operations. The underlying goal is to critically examine and update existing earthquake response plans based on the insights gained from this drill. "The IronOR exercise provides Washington County and other response and recovery partners with the opportunity to test our plans and coordinate our efforts," according to Washington County. John Wheeler, Washington County Emergency Management's manager, highlighted the value of these simulations. The drill is not merely an abstract precaution; the Cascadia Subduction Zone has historically been the epicenter of significant seismic activity, with experts stating a major earthquake occurs roughly every 300 years

| #14 Obviously there is, SteveS. The SteelE Dossier method was slick and well-practiced. It was discussed, as I recall, in the BBC comedy “Yes, Minister.” Or possibly the sequel, “Yes, Prime Minister.” |

| #13 Russians read the Daily Mail? Of course! Everyone reads the Daily Mail. How else would you know what GCHQ wants you to think? Personally, I like the variety of curated news sources here at the 'Burg. Carry on! Side Question: is there a formal name in the intelligence community for that thing where you leak a story to your pet journalist and then go to your boss and say "See! This really is a thing because the media is reporting it". |

| #12 I love what you've done working with the translation of English DM to Russian RN to American RB with little loss of tone in the churn. Nice. Thanks, Skid. |

| #11 Why in the world would my comment cause you to look up my IP? To make sure you hadn't somehow gotten on a Block list of some sort, dear Walking Unvaxed — and if you had, then he would have fixed it. |

| #8 You're doing a fantastic job, dude. The DM is always suspect and while the prose is seldom purple it often is 'hedged'. I love what you've done working with the translation of English DM to Russian RN to American RB with little loss of tone in the churn. Nice. |

| #7 #4 Way too much Regnum crap on this website. Perhaps why so many failures with the server? Again: I use regnum.ru because of the variety of stories they write and procure. As to the server, I access rantburg.com each day, every day and the only issue I see is the reduction of comments. Not a server issue. I have checked your IP and yours is not on any firewall list that I am aware. And I've checked. |

| #6 #3 The Daily Mail is printing a mostly translated Russia media report. If the Russians say the original report came from the Daily Mail, then I believe them. The story did not originate in Russian media. I s'pect the original report was deleted by the Daily Mail, likely owing to quality issues with the story. |

| #5 Wouldn't wiping out the West Coast basically be a Sodom and Gomorrah redo? While I see the article as likely slow news weekend filler. Compounded with so many Media groups are in a panic and retuning their news models, staff and political slanted coverage. In order to appeal to the clear and overwhelming proven actual Reader/Viewer audience. Looking forward. It will be interesting how these media groups cover "The Big Surprise" that the DC Swamp/ LSD's are surely cooking up to inhabit or eliminate Trump's MAGA agenda. |

| #1 It's been confirmed to have happened before. Can't think of a place more in need of a good hosing down. |
