29. Sure it can- though not always in the time frames that would be useful to us short lived humans
Edited on Sat Feb-27-10 07:56 PM by depakid
The Cascade subduction zone is going to slip and cause a catastrophic mag 9 event that will devastate the Pacific Nortwest and cause a Tsunami that inundates Japan.

Could happen tomorrow- or in 2110.

On the other hand, people paying attention KNEW that New Orleans would be drowned by a hurricane. Scientists and engineers warned about it and tried to get funding from the Republican congress throughout the 90's and 00's to beef up the "defences." We even had frighteningly accurate modelling- and a dry run the year before Katrina.
