- The Cascadia Subduction Zone is a 620-mile-long fault that stretches from British Columbia to Northern California, and pressure along the fault is building daily. Right now the fault is locked, but geologists say one day the pressure will become too much and that lock will break. When that happens it’ll result in one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded, a magnitude-9 or possibly even greater.

2020 seems like the right time for this.
Don't jinx it please
I live in Washington
@@josemanuelzamora4949 good luck
@@josemanuelzamora4949 same rip
I sure hope this doesn’t happen when I’m in the shower
XD yea that could suck even more
Funny thing. I live on the Washington coast and have been worried about the same scenario! I have an extra pair of pants and a blanket next to the door in case I have to leave in a hurry...lol!
Imagine just watching this then the ground starts shaking
This is gonna be the 2020 grand finally

How does a community prepare for a wave of water 1500 feet high?

Who says a tsunami following a Cascadia subduction zone quake will be 1,500 feet high??? 100 feet, maybe, in some locations - serious enough, as it is. It •is• a grave public-safety issue, so don’t distract from it by framing the threat in ridiculous terms.
@@ColumbiaB would you rather be under prepared or over prepared?
@@NASSER-rf6dp - That essentially vacuous query is a false choice, and an attempt to avoid truly important questions: What possible hazards are reasonable to prepare for? And, what is a rational level of preparation for those hazards that are reasonably probable to occur in the foreseeable future?
Individuals, communities, and governments have to prepare for hazards within the reality of limited resources. In preparing for a hazard, a responsible actor has to weigh the severity of potential damage from a hazard, in conjunction with the likelihood that such an event will happen within a given time frame.
For example, a 1,500-foot tsunami will almost certainly never happen - and if it did, virtually no “preparation”, short of having moved everyone east of the Cascades, would do any good. So, would I want to be overprepared, as you suggest, for a Cascadia subduction megaquake tsunami - which may have runups up to about a hundred feet - by investing time, materials, and effort in preparing for a hypothetical 1,500-foot tsunami? The answer is, No. That would be a ludicrous waste of resources.
@@ColumbiaB how much is 1500 feet in meters? Also, I agree that preparing for an event that may never come in your lifetime might be pretty useless in hindsight, and it might be. Especially if that money can go to solving other pressing matters in the region. But, what I think is that if you over prepare, you could sleep peacefully in night knowing you are in less danger of this mega quake, also building up that infrastructure that's resilient towards an earthquake will also be beneficial in case other types of natural disasters hit. But in Cascadia, all that worry might be for nothing. Statistically, you'll probably live and see no earthquake. So it's really up to Cascadians, should they invest too much, or not?
Soooooo happy I live in Europe!
hope all of you will be ok when it hits!
After today's 40+ quakes off the coast of Oregon...Maybe sooner than later? It seems like things are being shaken up/shifted around over there. 😅
actually ngl 30% in 50 years, while not exactly comforting for an apcocalyptic earthquake, is way lower than the headlines led me to believe
So I’m going to be alive to see this???! Wow in 50 years tops.....😳
Today Jan. 26, 2021 321 years ago the last big one hit on Jan. 26, 1700 a 9.0 magnitude
this is crazy
Oh, the answer to the question at the end is easy.
It's no.
There was just a big quake off the coast of Oregon
Will the tsunami affect only the Pacific Northwest or can Southern California also be affected
An earthquake of that magnitude will generate a tsunami as far as japan. A 10 magnitude is unthinkable for us, yet possible.
To build upon Hectarea's comment, when the tsunami flows outward, it'll travel in all directions including south and east where the coastline is further east. Meaning, California is longitudinally east of the Cascadia area.
Here is a simulation of the tsunami's path: th-cam.com/video/4W2iUl0VB8c/w-d-xo.html
Yes, the tsunami will reach Southern California, the tsunami will travel down the coast and destroy cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, and San Diego.
well, that's one way to get rid of all the garbage on the west coast.
About 45 percent of the human beings who live on the west coast agree with your evil agendas so I hope you think about those people when this event occurs, as it will.
Better have your ducks in a row now. Food, water, emergency shelter. Anything you need to survive for an extended period of time. Don't count on the Red Cross to rescue you. Or the Marines, or National Guard. You, as I, will be on your own . I feel ready but continue to make my situation stronger. I live smack in the middle of the Cascadia and geologist talks I have been to say a BIG ONE comes every 240 years on average. We are now 80 years overdue.
This is a 2020 thing
Writing this on December 29th, 2020
If this happens within the next two days, I will not be suprised
Even if the people of the Pacific Northwest knew for sure just what day and time the big one was coming, most would not leave or do anything different, except wait to die or be swept away.I left three years ago because I felt it would happen in my life time, now I realize Washington is a Demacrat swamp land and I’m glad I left.
DemOcrat. And about 45 percent of the people who live here are not Democrats and probably mostly agree with your evil perspectives. Just enough more liberally minded human beings here to see that the right approaches are being taken.
I call it the sleeping giant
Earthquakes are associated with the sun-earth magnetosphere that is becoming increasingly activated as part of the effects of the 12, 000-year micronova cycle that is now beginning, as noted by north and south magnetic poles on the move toward Sumatra and Java which will become the new Arctic Circle. 12,500-years ago 8/10 of species populations became extinct as the result of the Gothenberg event. The effect was greatest in the Americas, but This will effect greater damage in Eurasia. this time. Volcanoes and a world-wide flood will also accompany this current cataclysm. Humanity has survived at ;east 7 of these events, so we are survivors, if we are ready and prepared, My book, Quantum Knowing: A Train Is on the Tracks covering this in greater detail is available to help.
Last disaster waiting to happen in 2020
...
I’m going to die 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Get off the West coast if you can. This isn't fear-mongering; it's recognizing an inevitable, severe impending threat through science. What people do with that information is up to them. If we're lucky, the big one won't hit in our lifetimes, but plenty of geologists and seismologists are saying it's already overdue. Read one report saying all the major roads and airports will be so badly damaged, it will be somewhere between extremely difficult to impossible to even mount rescue efforts. Coastal cities in Canada and the US may be without power, water and food for up to six months. When this earthquake hits, it's going to be the final chapter in the stories of a lot of people.
Just move more Inland within 50 years
No, no you’re not. As long as you prepare, and have the right plans in your head about what to do.
Mark 13:8 For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in divers places and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
Could easily say that in the 1500-1600s my guy😂
I believe we are in end times. Since the star alignment in Sept 2017 as prophesied its been falling into place! ☝️🕊💪✌❤💯
What is the point of you saying this?
@@tudorjason Because it’s happening Now!!
Tick tock……
Here I am waiting for the big one and all I can think about how Conservatives from the bible belt will say it was message from god against the liberals in Oregon, even though we knew it was coming.
Its going to go!! Pray for you and family and property!! God will protect us if we are with him!!! He's shaking the earth and brining down the evil ones!! Julie Green Prophecies are being fulfilled pretty quickly!!
I had dream this was going to happen 9.0 earthquake that 50 year worng it has Ben more then that happen in 2026 in January
Oh we're ready and nobody's afraid to die we are born to die... will be fine and when one dies you don't die you go to one place or another your soul lives on.... so all is well for those of us that have a great faith in our Lord Jesus Christ... and for the others I can't say it's going to be as pretty
There are plenty of other avenues of faith than Jesus Christ. We all came into this world the same way, Donna. Pretty sure we'll all be going out the same way whether we believe in Jesus, Mohammed, Joseph Smith, Buddah or Sponge Bob Square Pants.
first
must be proud
It's funny when people are the first to comment and could write something worthwhile that everyone can see but just write "first" because that's all they can think of.
Is it possible for this earthquake to trigger the yellowstone to explode?
Being that this would have to travel several hundred miles not to mention at least 2 mountain ranges, Cascades and Rockies, my guess is no
But imagine 🤯
Long Valley more a danger than Yellowstone. We need to prepare for quake, tsunami and eruption in certain places. Use Taal eruption for example what to be prepared for/with...
@@shastina5493 Taal is nowhere close to what Yellowstone would be, Yellowstone is a supervolcano that would throw us into volcanic winter for years, although unlikely to erupt in our lifetimes it is more dangerous than the cascadia earthquake
@@ianmcginnis5734 I know Taal is not anything in size or magnitude of Yellowstone but mainly that they explode out not just smoke and lava as I once thought and many do still but that it sends out gases, nano particles of glass, etc. One should have masks to wear, eye goggles, dont wash ash off or start car if covered as it clogs and destroys cars, turns into cement type junk (for lack of a better word at this moment). Knowing these things helps those survive these types of eruptions.
