Sounds like Baja is moving north some more------horizontal movement, which would not cause Tsunamis. Vertical movement causes tsunami's, I believe.

Personally, I don't think it pays to worry about something that you have absolutely NO CONTROL over------just like everything else in Mexico--if it happens, it happens!!

------sorta like "global warming", or cooling, which has been going on for as long as the geological record has recorded, and then some---------just adapt, and go with the flow. :yes:
