Anyone selling real estate in the cascadian subduction zone affected area?

Looks like several credible scientists from different organizations and universities agree that it will likely happen sometime in the next 50 years and will likely be the worst natural disaster in the countries history. 

I think sticking ones head in the sand and saying oh, it's just scaremongering is ignorant. These are scientists from respected organizations. Joe Blow on the street who says it's just scaremongering has what credentials and evidence exactly? 

That said, is anyone planning on selling off any assets in the PNW that might be affected by this? Is anyone no longer going through with purchases after learning of this? 

The thought has crossed my mind. Luckily everything I own is EAST of I-5, which they say should be OK, but still. It could be worse than what they say. The thought of selling and buying in another location without such risks, preferably low cost of living area, is appealing...

If anyone on the site is fearful enough to sell off their coastal properties at pennies on the dollar, I am buying!
