The aftermath repercussions are going to go on for a long time. It's kind of doubtful the insurance companies will cover the cost of new septic systems. Then, will the county start condemning properties if the homeowner is unable to afford the replacement costs? When everything is nice, that area is beautiful and it seems to give a lot of value to the houses down there. The reality is none of those places are worth a plug nickel if a tsunami takes them out. Scientists are confirming plate pressure buildup all along the west coast of north and south america. There is a big fault under Seattle that is long overdue, San Andreas is long overdue, and multiple faults down South America are also long overdue. Maybe the big one doesn't happen for 50 years, maybe it happens in 5 years. It's all a crap shoot.
