Ha… it’s not like the earthquake will stop at I-5 like it’s a magic shield. If the quake knocks out utilities and services everywhere west of the cascades, this I-5 ‘line’ is meaningless.
I believe they are referring to the tsunami that follows the earthquake, based on evidence from before the Europeans colonized the continent.
Don't get too comfortable if you're on the East Coast. Whatever survives sea level rise due to global heating, will be wiped out by the megatsunami caused by the ensuing landslide when La Palma erupts.

What is Microsoft's contingency plan for this? Or, in fact, the FAANG's and other west-coast tech companies? The effects of a Cascadia earthquake on the US and world economy would be "interesting".

I suppose it depends on data centre locations. Data centre on the west coast? I'd be wary, mostly central and east coast? Less of a worry.

But from a 'shareholder' perspective I expect the stock markets will go silly at the first sign of shaking.
