Lots of turbidite data as well which are among the papers listed at the OSU site.

Surely someone has looked at cutbanks around there.

I don't have the sense it's anywhere large enough to provide enough room for all the people that would need to cram onto it. And if it *is* a dune, the danger of washing away some of that minimal area is very real. The bridge is not likely to survive a quake (few of OR's bridges were designed with that in mind), which makes the whole scenario even more unsettling. My preparedness plan is not to be in that area when the quake hits.Lockwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05960762797349483760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188642669907788257.post-60417788306021333732014-12-28T11:37:45.052-08:002014-12-28T11:37:45.052-08:00Thanks Lockwood - missed that hill when checking s...Thanks Lockwood - missed that hill when checking spot elevations on Google earth.

Here's the evacuation route sign at the Hatfield Marine Science Center, near where the section of the so-called tsunami dock is on display. http://outsidetheinterzone.blogspot.com/2013/10/geo-365-oct-20-day-293-evacuation-route.htmlLockwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05960762797349483760noreply@blogger.com
