He was born in 1919, not 1920! He had his vision aged 17, before turning 18 in November, 1920!

Pacific Northwest quakes may trigger temblors in California
At least that's how it appears in a new analysis of West Coast earthquakes led by an Oregon State University marine geologist.
Over the past 3,000 years, almost every major earthquake on California's San Andreas fault was closely linked in time with an earthquake on the Cascadia subduction zone, an offshore fault that stretches from Vancouver Island to Northern California. Generally, the Cascadia quakes preceded the California quakes by 25 to 45 years.
"It's either an amazing coincidence, or one fault triggered the other," said OSU's Chris Goldfinger. "Even if the details are fuzzy ... something is going on."

LOS ANGELES - California faces an almost certain risk of being rocked by a strong earthquake by 2037, scientists said Monday in the first statewide temblor forecast.

New calculations reveal there is a 99.7 percent chance a magnitude 6.7 quake or larger will strike in the next 30 years. The odds of such an event are higher in Southern California than Northern California, 97 percent versus 93 percent.
"It basically guarantees it's going to happen," said Ned Field, a seismologist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Pasadena and lead author of the report.
The highest active volcano in Colombia erupted Monday night, prompting authorities to order the evacuation of up to 15,000 people. The Nevado del Huila volcano erupted at 11:08 p.m. Monday (12:08 a.m. Tuesday ET), according to the Colombian Institute of Geology and Mining.
