Dengler On "The Big One"

I didn't read the New Yorker article that HSU earthquake gal, Lori Dengler, comments on, but she still makes a point in cutting through the media hype over The Big One- the big earthquake supposedly just around the corner:

"A Cascadia rupture is not 'long overdue.' We don’t have a good enough or long enough record of past earthquakes to define the pattern of occurrence."

Now that's my kind of scientist. Acknowledging that sometimes we don't know everything.
