Jeff DeLong, jdelong @ rgj.com 9:15 a.m. PDT September 9, 2015 With the frightening potential of a massive earthquake and tsunami striking the Pacific Northwest under increasing discussion, scientists are also focusing attention on possible connections between that area and dangerous faults at Lake Tahoe.
There, like along the coastlines of Washington, Oregon and Northern California, a big quake could someday trigger a deadly tsunami, with some preliminary research suggesting seismic connections between the areas.
?If everything in this region is synchronized, all of a sudden there could be a domino effect? after a big quake in the northwest, said Graham Kent, director of the Nevada Seismological Laboratory at University of Nevada, Reno...
