Rather than steal the links, I'm just going to link to this MeFi entry which talks about a January 1700 9.0 earthquake off the coast of now Oregon or Washington that wiped out a couple of villages in Japan.
Yet another reminder of how young our knowledge of the earth is, and how things in fast geologic time happen at longer than human scales.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
