This won't affect Colorado directly except for the loss of fruit production but is an excellent review of how the history of big earthquakes and tsunamis off the northwest coast came to be understood. A comparison of the 2011 9.0 earthquake in Japan with what will happen between Portland and Vancouver when the really big one hits is chilling. An entire civilization has been built along the northwest coast since the last really big one hit and in that sense Colorado is in a similar situation of being unprepared for a Magnitude 7 earthquake along the Front Range.
