"[The day of the quake], Earth gave us a stark reminder of the important difference between improbability and impossibility," McCaffrey says. "Our understanding of where and when the next great earthquake will happen is in its infancy at best. We have not had enough time to decipher M9 behavior."

Good post STONERS!
New Madrid is a biggie; John Q is correct ... but ...
I would really be looking off the Pacific Northwest coast. Juan de Fuca has had some big ones over the years. There is geological evidence of tsunami there. With it so close to the coastline there will be very little time between a quake and a possible tsunami hitting Seattle.
This is one of those cases where the people need to evacuate first upon the tremors and then find out later if it triggered a wave.
