- In this episode of Solomon's Outdoor Adventures, Solomon ventured throughout the Pacific Northwest to learn all about the "Big One"- the potential Magnitude 9.3 Earthquake that's primed to strike the Cascadia Subduction Zone.
Solomon discusses the 1700 Earthquake and Tsunami, the Geology of the Cascadia Subduction Zone, and what the "Big One" might look like if it struck Cascadia tomorrow. You don't want to miss this special episode of SOA!!!

Yamaguchi's tree ring research at the ghost forest confirmed the January 1700 Japanese Tsunami origin as Cascadia.
You can see it up and down the coast with your own eyes
@@carriesilveria-kirby9155 yes but they had to scientifically prove and confirm it too..
This video was particularly well done. Congrats. One piece of advice for those of us living in earthquake country: Put a pair of old shoes under your bed. If the EQ happens overnight, slip 'em on before you exit your bed. The most common injury after an EQ is cut feet!
probably the best advice I've ever seen regarding this crappy town or in general. Feet are your ride
I am "STUCK" now after a stroke on Aug 6th, 2023... 😢
Best to have a Go Bag with all your needs and a change of clothes ready to grab and go.
Better yet Pray to God for His Holy Armour of Protection.🙏
@@terenceflanagan1225what crappy town? All our cities are great?
@@20greeneyes20gdammit, leave religion out of natural disasters.
I live on the peninsula so I watch my earthquake app every day. Just offshore from Vancouver Island there have been just over 30 quakes in the past 30 hours or so. Also, Puget Sound is having an earthquake swarm right now. The offshore quakes have included many above magnitude 4 up to magnitude 4.8.
Any of them could initiate a large rupture.
Thanks for the video,
Be safe and well
None of what you mentioned is abnormal
@@kingme79 I've been watching earthquake lists for about 24 years but don't remember ever seeing so many quakes in that particular spot in that short of time span, especially above a 4.0 and greater. We do get an earthquake swarm every 14 months predictably though.
Swarms are not necessarily a precursor to a large earthquake. Many times small quakes are just pressure release and help to stop a big one from happening. Either way there’s no way to all you can do is try to be prepared. I live in the Pacific Northwest from California. I have lived through many earthquakes.
@@feanacar the swarms are somewhat rhythmic but not all the offshore quakes in that one area.
What’s the name of the app you use
An excellent portrayal of the seismic risk. I concur that the casualties, both deaths and injured, as described by FEMA and other government agencies is far to optimistic. In my opinion, a full rip of the Cascadia fault would see a minimum of 60,000 to 100,000 casualties at the end of 4 weeks. A significant number of the injured will not be able to obtain the necessary medical assistance in a timely manner which will increase the fatality numbers. Your hypothetical example has been narrated in other presentations. What isn't mentioned in all the discussions of the subject that I have seen thus far is the numerous after shocks having various intensities. What was weakened during the main event will now have a greater possibility of collapsing. Now imagine a deep, long cold spell coming out of Canada when that occurs; or a cold wet spell. Whom am I - A Building Inspector of 28 years in the PNW and a Structural engineering Technologist. My experience includes 50 story high rises, etc. The lack of honest clarity by the "Authorities" deeply disturbs me.
They have no idea what they're facing
Take vancouver. Much of it is outside the range of a huge tsunami. However, a Richter 9 + could well still be shaking when the first waves arrive. The Fraser will do what it wants, and Delta will be soup. All the power lines, pipes, and access roads will be in trouble. The steep mountains will release a large amount of avalanches and rockslides. The passes will be impassible for a time, and most other ports capable of rendering timely help will also be too busy. Depending on time of year and weather, Vancouverites will find themselves without power/ water / heat for days at minimum but more likely weeks. You would know better than I, but personally, I have my doubts about our standards for earthquake resistance. I believe we underestimate the strength of a large quake, and I _know_ we underestimate the dangers of the subsidence and tsunami's.
I personally believe the total death numbers won't be in the tens or hundreds of thousands, but more likely just a significant fraction of the people in the region at the time.
@@hosmerhomeboy Thank you for the response and you are so right in your assessment. Lets pretend that he 9.2 did occur in the summer time. The refugees fleeing the worst hit areas of the Lower Mainland will have little choice but to head south or east. All the easterly highways converge on the City of Hope which is located in a valley surrounded by steep uplifted, fractured rock. Most likely that community will not be passable; think of the Hope Slide. Heading north could also be equally daunting. Heading south into the State of Washington will be be of little respite if you were actually able to get below the Border, 49th parallel. Maybe the sea? For the above reasons is why I personally call that are "The Bermuda Triangle of the Pacific Northwest". My numbers were only the starting point. There was a study that indicated somewhere around 80% of the cut/sliced skin injuries will be from broken glass.
I personally have taken significant measures to endure the event well and hope to be of value to the area and its population should I be called upon.
Native Washingtonian here, so have the Washington facts. The Space Needle was built to withstand a 10.0 quake. We have quakes all the time. We have worked hard with Japan to create quake-proof and tsunami technologies. NOAA has tsunami boueys out at sea to monitor. We have shock-disk technologies, and have implemented them. I-5 has quake technology. We had the Nesquali quake, over 6.0, and had one old road collapse that was not fitted, but only a few bricks fell. No injuries or casualties. You can see the quake-proof tech on buildings. So, a quake of 3.0 smaller than he is stating did almost zip anywhere. So he isn't up on our technologies. We have been prepared for decades upon decades. We were fine.
Juan De Fuca Plate - sounds like a Mexican Restaurant dish.
Hahaha… thanks for the support!
😂😂😂 Too funny!!
Sounds like you have no idea the days in which you live.
What would be on the menu?
Lmao 😂
The CASCADIA IS VERY ACTIVE RIGHT NOW. 👀
Yep, 💯.
🛐📈
The wait might be over with.
Im on the southern tip of Vancouver Island BC and have felt nothing so far despite reports of quakes up to 6.1 very nearby.
@@SableFox72were you on a waterbed?🤔
Quake swarms. They are impacting Rainier and St Helen's, which are also having earthquake swarms. Interesting times, indeed.
These are one of those things where you can only prepare so much. I don’t let these things worry me. I concern myself with items I have control over. Enjoy your life, each day is special.
Excellent job!!!!! You obviously did your research on this one. A partial rip is most likely, the devastating results are real.
I live here in Portland and there have been swarms of earthquake activity up & down the Juan de Fuca plate the last couple of days.
It actually IS Friday, late afternoon. And it IS very hot & traffic IS crazy right now. Everyone actually IS getting off work now & heading for the coast to cool off this weekend!
Your proposed hypothetical scenario is just a little TOO accurate & timely for me...
It's time to repent and get right with Jesus.
No one is promised tomorrow.
ABC's of Salvation:
To be safe for all eternity:
A: Admit that you are a sinner, who violates the Will of God, and that you need a Saviour. Repent. Turn away from your sin and toward Jesus. (Matthew 4:17; Romans 2:4, 3:10, 6:23; Acts 3:19)
B: Believe that Jesus Christ, Son of God & Messiah, died for your sins and rose again, and that He will come again, as prophesied and recorded in the Word of God. Trust in His finished work on the cross. (Romans 10:9-10; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Ephesians 2:8-9)
C: Call on His name, ask Him to save you, and confess that He is Lord. (Romans 10:9-10, 10:13, 14:10-11; Philippians 2:10)

The best person to follow is Nick Zentner a professor of Geology at CWU. He talks about the Cascades in depth.
Nick Zentner is the man!
3:47 this was the inspiration of the art piece ‘The Great Wave off Kanagawa’
I used to live in Copalis 76-77. My friend and I used to canoe the Copalis river frequently. We often wondered what killed those huge trees. We had no idea, otherwise I would not have lived on the beach!
Interesting timing for this video. There is a channel out there that has been predicting for weeks now an historic earthquake in the upper Cascade area to occur likely around July 7 timeline
Overcome babylon?
Przewidywali już 😢 wcześniej,nic, chociaż wczoraj i dziś mocniej trzęsło, też obserwuję
Which one?
Seriously, July 7th? Right on. Now I will be depressed if my wait is over.
What channel are you referring to? Dutchsinse?
IMO, you are right that casualties and injuries would be much much higher in a full rip, even a partial rip, depending on the location.
Yea! So we decided to move to the high desert where it’s 116F+ for weeks on end with zero rain at 1200’. If we can survive here, we can survive just about anywhere. The northern tip of the Sonoran Desert is a very curious landscape. From Scottsdale to Sedona the geology indicates a massive flood over the Mogollon Rim and through present day Phoenix, depositing gravel beds and sand way into Mexico.
Well done on details some might consider being geeky. I love how you explained your formulaic estimations
This is a primary reason I moved 450 miles inland. That and too many people.
So, you moved closer to Yellowstone?
Nice.

@@mercurysunlight5689 The PNW is due for a 9+ within the next 50 years. Plus, we have Mt. Rainier. My favorite towns were in high risk areas, so we lived a mile or two east of i5 without getting too close to the Volcano. 😂 P.S. I also moved.
Great info! I watch everything about Cascadia and your video is among the best!
On my way to work one day (from Bonney Lake to Burien) I realized the roads I was on were either Volcano, Tsunami, and/or Earthquake evacuation routes. I was offered a job and moved back to Kansas City in 2012.
You traded the Juan de Fuca for the New Madrid...😮😮😮
Nice job on your video and very informative as well. Appreciate the use of historical records and presenting this important material in a sound way with no hysterics that is so often injected into this type of public awareness messages. I lived in California (for work) and was in Big Bear when we had a 6.5 in 1992 and was very near the epicenter. Now we live north of Spokane so I very much appreciate your presentation. Keep up the good work!!!
Glad i found this channel.
Thank you for being real and not another garbage AI channel.
Like, sub, shared 👍🏽
Yeah, I was afraid it was going to be another one of those ripoff AI compilations. Thankfully not.
Lived there for 8 years . Went through 2 earthquakes. 1 shook the house. 1 had rolling waves. Spooky.
Love your geology documentaries! Nice work mate!
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoy them!!!
The 2015 Cascadia Megaquake Report was originally written for the LA Basin. Managers have misled the Public into thinking the remote Pacific NW has the next US West Coast Megaquake; not panicking 40 million Californians into fleeing their State. "Everything destroyed between the Pacific Ocean and I-5" can't happen to Seattle nor Portland, for the coastal mountains in WA and OR.
@robile
I, for 1, really hope you know what you're talking about.
I moved from Texas over a decade ago and initially lived on the Kitsap peninsula, then a couple of years ago moved to Montesano. I'm thinking it might be time to move back to Texas. I'm familiar with hurricanes, tornados, flash flooding and godawful heat and humidity, but this earthquake stuff is very unsettling.
Yes it can . You're absolutely clueless
@@terenceflanagan1225 The Cascade Range is too high for waves to get overtop. The tsunami would have to be thousands of feet high. But water will fill up the Columbia and cause flooding in all the surrounding cities.
Uh-huh. Do you know about the Tsunami that hit the coast in 1700. Has nothing to do with LA. The San Andreas isn't capable of much above an 8.0 quake.
We have no clue! It's all just a guess! I live in Los Angeles. Every time we have an earthquake we have more questions we are unable to answer.
Looks like a few people making comments have never taken a basic geology class and don't know about seismographs. The plates are real and have been mapped. If liquifaction occurs, no escape.
Most people in Portland don't even graduate high school and are barely literate
Correct. And down in the Tacoma area is a perfect setting for liquefaction.
I live for the Cascadia subduction. I am ready. I learned about this in 1st grade, that was a long time ago. All I can say about it is I have got to see this. Ready!
Been thru it in Bay Area.
Nothing at 9.3
@@katiedid1851
Wasn't that the one that the freeway deck collapsed and trapped a bunch of people? I know that here is not all covered with cement and liquifaction is a real thing. The make up of the land is different. We have bad landslides in areas sometimes just because of heavy rain. Its a curiousity for sure. We have dams and water to consider. Whatever it looks like, I just have to see it. Kinda like old Harry Truman had to stay at Mt. St. Helens. If it kills me then that was what was meant to be. I am glad you got through SoCal ok. A lot of people didn't. 1964 Ankorage Alaska was a 9 and it did mega damage.
It was a 8.4 quake
@@davidschefter4160
Alaska? It was a 9.3.
@@justme-dm7sb yes!
You are correct.
Much appreciated!
Thank you 🙏
I appreciate you didn’t “fear porn” this like most do for more views. I live on Mount Hood’s foothills and fear the day this happens
In all honesty, being prepared for it is all you really can do. Make sure you have supplies and clean water and a plan to get to higher ground if you are anywhere near the coast. The quote that always reverberates in my mind is "everything west of Interstate 5 will be toast". Once the shaking starts you'll have less than 20 minutes before the first Tsunami waves start coming ashore and it will be 20 minutes of absolute chaos for everyone. Be prepared, better safe than sorry.
@@andrewkelley3434 agreed. It’s going to be worse than most people realize. Natural gas lines breaking and downed power lines alone will create more fires than any city can take care of. Those will spread and consume anything in their path.
I have 2 years of food and water for my family and people make fun of me but I’ve spent more money on dumber items in my life lol.
I pray everyone around me realizes it’s going to be more than a “shake” and it’s not just drywall joints that will be damaged. That would be a best case scenario
@@joshsmith3650I’m in the Snoqualmie Valley. I was told by Bonneville that the big power lines near my property would tip over in a 9 and electrocute my horse. A geologist told me the whole valley would drop 500 feet into the aquifer. At least the tsunami would be a ways away. The new activity on the Cascadia has me nervous.
@@sherirottweilersforever7772 I try not to think about it but I am always prepared. It’s silly how many people have had life so good here, don’t understand what that kind of tragedy will be like. It will happen someday, it’s guaranteed. Just hope it’s a few partial ruptures and not a full cascadia earthquake
@@joshsmith3650 most people around here don’t even have extra food even though they are not poor. They think I’m crazy when I mention being prepared for SHTF scenarios. I hope it doesn’t happen any time soon.
Excellent job. Unquestionably the best I've seen regarding Cascadia for numerous reasons.
I'm well inland, just outside of Napavine so I'll miss the tsunami, but Cascadia still scares the hell out of me due mostly to the aftermath.
I am bless to know all. Thank you for all understandable
This is an excellent, erudite summary explanation of the reason for and damage by a 9.2 earthquake in Cascadia of the Pacific Northwest of America. Bravo Solomon! Being a geologist, I enjoyed it even though people I love live there. But I live in hurricane ally on the opposite side of the country, so I can't criticize. In America, you can choose your disaster. Almost every location has something.
Whoa this aged well. There was was just a 6.5 within this hour in Canada Port McNeill...
My senior class project was with the Portland Water Department less than 10 years so. They discussed what would happen to the water supply due to this expected earthquake. They were very dire. Said we need water and supplies for SIX MONTHS. And even then they said that might not be enough (we would need many years probably). They said those of us on the Westside of Portland are basically S.O.L.
They said we all needed to warn our loved ones, bc it was only a matter of time. They said they cannot repair the old pipes fast enough. There will be no water at all for us out here. They said that is the plan, bc they cannot prepare effectively fast enough. Just so everyone knows, they are not planning to help us really. It will be every man for himself.
Thank you for your wonderful episode! I live just outside the border of the Tsunami zone, but the possible damage to my home is an unknown for now. I do have a plan and a mobile RV to take to higher ground if time permits. I've also planed for mobile solar power and water purification. Hope to never witness this type of event, but trying to prepare if possible!
I first learned about the Cascadia fault in the late 80s the Army Corps of Engineers was studying it. Rows and rows 12 ft high lined the hallways taped to the wall showing the movement of over 1000 miles of coastline. No one else seemed to know. When Loma Prieta hit I was in that as a first responder and diver with the Army. I thought the Cascadia would blow then. Now it’s any second it can hit.
Have you read that document that came out (more like book) in 2016? It breaks down what it would look like when the big one hits, the collapse of infrastructure, where most casualties will be, how far up the tsunami could go. I work for the State and they sent it in an email for fun, I think. I read the whole thing and have been obsessed (and educating others) since. Can't wait to watch your volcanoes episode! I can see Baker from my back yard.
Where could I find that document from 2016? I’d be curious to see it!
I'll take the Juan de Fuca with guacamole please
Really well done, "young man"-😁
Thank you, Sir, for the info regarding Cascadia. Am concerned since I have family members living or residing on the Pacific coast. Am praying 🙏 to God that it won't happen 🙏 . God bless 😇 us all, and God bless 😇 you and your family.
Great Information, THIS IS Going To Happen, Sooner Than Later!
Liked & Subed!❤
Keep Up The Great Work!❤
The timing of this video is impeccable!
Stumbled across your channel and I'm so glad I did! Great video and new sub.
When Cascadia pops off it’s gonna be baaaaaaad. Way worse than people realize.
Really bad.
The question I’m asking myself right now is, why am lying in bed in my Seattle apartment and watching this before I go to sleep? This is the stuff nightmares are made of. God Bless us in our region when this happens. 😢🙏🏽
One more reason to enjoy life before this happens
What did the earthquake in China say to the earthquake in USA?
Its your fault!
Get it?
I felt that one😂😂😂😂
I believe this video!! A9.3 mega quake would be truly devastating to us 13million folks whom live in the Pacific N.W. everything that 15 times bigger along with structures added to our state and communities, I think is going to be a dam of everything from trees to " you name it!!!" Will be a mountain of buildings,trees,etc,etc... it's a scary thought,but we are way past due for a major quake of unprecedented force!!!! And with this 90s to 100° weather lately;"well.....that is earth quake weather!! I was sitting out on my patio the other night,and I actually felt a slight tremor,and another one on the 6th of this month of which woke me up!! They both were only a few seconds long but,I felt them all the same....Yellowstone? It's also heating up......heads up and hopefully we all survive the next one!! God bless to all!! And to all may God be us!!❤❤❤❤
Even though one of that magnitude hit January 1700.
I live just south of seattle Seatac and family in federal way how far inland is even tsunami safe
The Cascadia is definitely active right now from Ca up to Canada and increasing in sizes with quakes. I know that Chile had the largest mega quake of a 9.5 or so, and Japan, Haiti, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Alaska, Tonga, All Shifted and caused huge quakes and tsunamis all over. The Cascadia I believe will be bigger and shake longer from a Big part of Northern California all the way up to Canada will shake everything and everywhere hard then the Mega Tsunami is coming and even Southern, Ca up to the Bay area will be affected. The Cascadia may produce a 9.6 and the Tsunami will be bigger and wider than the 1700 one.
Correct on all points.
Your documentary will be seen as prophetic when this happens in a few days.
No it won't. You're completely wrong
No one knows the date this will happen, people need to stop date setting all the time, its ridiculous. Repent and pray to be counted worthy to escape all these things that are coming. 🙏📖🕯

Great job on this documentary
Excellent job thank you!
Excellent video, really well done & great research and excellent presentation.
Thank you for this informative and well made video. I live in Bellingham Washington and i think about this potential event sometimes, but more often this past few years since i work right on the water and live less than 1/2 mile away from work. I feel pretty confident that when the quake happens, if im at work, my entire boatyard will fall into the bay. However, if i am able to avoid falling into the bay (🤞), i feel ok about being able to avoid being crushed by any buildings or fallen trees. After the initial shockwave, i could drive home in 1-5 minutes, depending on which route i take. There are pretty much only 4 ways i could go home, but only 2 of them dont go under or over any bridges. If i was on foot i could literally run straight up the street from work and be home almost as fast as driving. If the 6-plex i live in is still standing after i get there, i have other vehicles and a decent amount of supplies there, but i would still need to get the f*ck away from the water. Im constantly trying to figure out where else in the area i should be staging emergency supplies for the minutes/days/weeks following this terrible event. Does anybody know where i could find information about the expected trajectory of the tsunami in my area, and how far east of bellingham could be expected to be safe from it?
Great video!
I keep seeing in my dreams a tsunami hitting white rock area it’s huge! Despite Victoria island 🏝️ this wave was huge
I wonder if inland Surrey is safe
My best suggestion for electricity, if your home can survive this, is a giant propane tank and a generator that can use it and plenty of extra oil and sparkplugs for it. You can also charge large batteries when you use it to get the most out of it. A 12v 300ah LiFeP04 battery can run a freezer or small fridge for a very long time to save on fuel.
The Richter Scale has been outdated for 40 years...sadly, except in Hollywood. 😅
I suspect the presenter is actually referencing the seismic intensity scale.
I now live in NH but I'm from the PNW - Renton, Kitsap county, and Vancouver WA.
Seeing PDX in your video makes me homesick. ❤
I like this video! Thank you:)❤❤❤
Cheers from the P.N.W 🎉 was here for Mt. St Helens so why not ride out the BIG ONE too. 🎉
I spent 40 years of my life in the PNW, the greater Seattle-Tacoma area. When I went back to visit in 2020, I literally cried when I saw my favorite volcano, Mt Rainier, again. Thank you so much for this! (I went to OH and now I'm in MO). And I know they (my family in Lakewood, south of Tacoma) could have the big megathrust quake that's predicted in five minutes! Hoping not, however.
Vancouver - we have a housing crisis: Cascadia subduction zone - ill fix that
Mt. Rainier: don't forget about meee!
Ironic that Vancouver just has a 6.4 earthquake yesterday (7/11/24). Waiting to see if these additional earthquake swarms trigger the "big one".
The 'Big One' has been happening since continental drift started. Just a very local 'bad day'. The very fast speed of temperature rise is global and with long lasting changes everywhere.
Great video
I been hearing about the big one for long time now and nothing happen yet but when it does may God bless America because that is when our Lord Jesus we’ll be coming to get us
Jesus didn't come for the multiple millions of folks who have died in natural disasters over the past 2000+ years, why would he come for "us" if this mega-quake happens? Mother Nature doesn't care who or what you believe in or worship, she is completely impartial and indiscriminate.
I’m tired of kilometers. I was raised to think in miles. It doesn’t translate for me. Oh, well I’ll be dead soon and the metric system will live on. But it’s still difficult to change your sense of distance and speed when you grew up on something else.
2.5 klm =1mi.
No, 1.6 kilometers =1 mile
Scared but also fascinated by the possibility of this happening in my lifetime. Lord, have mercy.
scary shit - hope we don’t see this in our lifetime- thx for vid
I’m on the foot of a mountain with the terrain sloping down to two rivers, one in each side. 150’ above sea level
Great video, if i could add another bit of information that's relevant to Cascadia and specifically the southern area of Cascadia along California. If i recall correctly, about 80% of full margin ruptures (so that's the entire faultline slipping all at once) also result in the San Andreas fault rupturing and causing magnatude 8 quakes. That is a colossal double whammy for California. Be prepared and have a plan, that's our best course of action and hopefully it doesn't happen in our lifetimes...However over the last month the southern portion of the fault has been very active and over the last few days the tremors off the coast of Vancouver Island have been 4.5 and above so it's something to certainly keep in mind. Be safe, everyone.
I've been wondering about that myself.
That’s correct, it has been linked to so cal fault. The earthquakes up here recently have not been near the subduction zone or so they say….
The gulf of mexico is a big bowl. The cascadia will take out the states around it when it displaces that water. New navy map shows it.
Might an earthquake of that magnitude affect the PNW volcanos?
I wouldn't rule it out. The Cascade volcanoes are where they are because of the Cascadia.
Same thought .@@harrietharlow9929
I saw on some video that there's a power plant on the Oregon coast that supplies a mighty big chunk of the state's power. A tsunami hitting that would be bad news.
@solomonsoutdooradventures Firstly thank you for your interesting and concise discussion. Have you looked into the episodic tremor and slip (ETS) cycle (~15 month period) that has been proposed, monitored, and studied over the last couple decades? I saw a very interesting discussion of the last cycle's activity, which was non-conforming compared to previous episodes. You're probably very busy, but it would be super interesting to delve into this further.
I have seen many bits on this and they are all the same. I have seen credible forecasts which go as high as 9.8. Few people address the vertical acceleration. Another neglected topic is the effect on poor or weak infrastructure inland. What bridge or dam or toxic waste pond, or taillings pile or cliff face over a highway is going to collapse, fail, give way, slide and fall down 100, 200, 300 or even more miles inland. I bet there is LOTS much of which will hamper rescue efforts re: resources and transportation.
Do a show on that.
Cheers!
Downtown Portland is built on sandy soil, liquefaction will sink the buildings that don't collapse, they definitely need to adjust the numbers.
Subbed...ty
Bring it on I am ready
You did a GREAT JOB on this video, thanks for sharing!
@@flowergirl52 thank you and thanks so much for watching!!! Glad you enjoyed it!
Love your fonts! just an aside, i think some of the data you attribute to Atwater around 9 minutes is Goldfinger’s off-shore data.
I had a nightmare Californian suffered an earthquake lasting 9 days 😳 imagine what destruction that caused...
volcanoes are tied to this.
Most likely it will be a case of volcanoes being set off by the Cascadia. That is how subduction zones work. In fact, the Cascade volcanoes are where they are precisely because of the Cascadia Subduction Zone.
Cool video
Very interesting. The consequences of that quake would be disastrous. I’m living safely in South Australia which is mildly(hopefully) seismically active. The mid north of the state is more active and has scale 2 or 3 rumbles quite regularly. The area is sparsely populated so it doesn’t cause any widespread panic. However, my wife and I are planning a holiday in the area in a few months time. I’ve noticed a couple of small recent quakes in the area. I haven’t told my wife because she has an irrational fear of earthquakes. 😊.
Thanks for watching the video!!! I hope you guys have fun on your holiday, and I appreciate the support from Australia!

Stop it. Stop trying to convert people who left Christianity. They left for a reason. Actually, multiple reasons. And besides, this isn't the place to convert people.
Jesus is the only way to REAL LIFE and ETERNAL LIFE.
@@DebbyLong777 Amen! This is the place to share the gospel, alright. Most don't want to hear it because they've been well trained by the god of this present evil world.
@@a-sane-person Christianity is a mess because they've gotten away from the Holy Bible. It's no surprise that people leave churchianity more than ever, these days. They should get away from it and read their Bible instead. "But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." (2 Corinthians 4:3-4, KJB). There's a big difference between religion and what the book of the LORD says.
Just subscribed, great information, if the mega quake occurred, in the Cascadia, would Australia get tidal waves from it?.. Thankyou for your video,from Nth QLD, Australia..👍..
FACTS: Native Washingtonian here. We are fully prepared, so we are actually NOT at risk. The Space Needle was designed to withstand a 10.0 quake. We worked hard with Japan for the last 50 years on quake and tsunami technologies. NOAA has tsunami boueys out at sea for both countries to share data. We created shock-disk technologies for our buildings, so they are quake-proof. I have been through THREE quakes, (I am 47) and was in a condo for one, and got to see the hidden shock disks work. The building whipped, but was unphased. We had next to zero damage with the over 6.0 Nesquali quake.We have quakes all the TIME and are absolutely fine. We have torn down ALL old brixk schools that were over two stories to protect children,while others were updated with technologies.🤷♀️ Almost ALL older buildings have already been retrofitted.
Where?! Here in Washington? Ask people and you'll figure out how unprepared they are.
The largest earthquake ever recorded was a magnitude 9.5 earthquake that occurred on May 22, 1960, off the coast
of southern Chile. The earthquake, also known as the Valdivia earthquake or the Great Chilean earthquake, lasted 10
minutes and occurred at a subduction zone where the Pacific plate meets the South American plate
This earthquake generated a tsunami that was destructive not only along the coast of Chile, but also
across the Pacific in Hawaii, Japan, and the Philippines. The earthquake was preceded by four important foreshocks,
including a Mw 8.2 on May 21 that caused severe damage in the Concepción area and generated a small tsunami. Many
aftershocks followed, with five of magnitude 7.0 or greater through November 1. The rupture zone was estimated to be
about 1,000 km from Lebu to Puerto Aysen. The number of fatalities in Chile associated with both the earthquake and
tsunami has been estimated to be between 490 and 5,700. The Chilean government estimated 2 million people were left
homeless and the damage was USD $550 million. In Hawaii, the tsunami caused 61 deaths, 43 injuries, and USD $23.5
million in damage. Additional damage of USD $1 million, 2 deaths, and 4 injuries resulted on the U.S. west coast from 1-2
m waves. The tsunami hit the Pacific coast of Japan almost a day after the earthquake causing 139 deaths and destroying
or washing away almost 3,000 houses in the Hokkaido, Aomori, Iwate, and Fukushima Prefectures. Waves observed in
Japan were higher than other adjacent regions nearer to the source due to the directivity of tsunami wave radiation. At
least 21 people died in the Philippines due to the tsunami.
This is the largest earthquake ever instrumentally recorded and the global extent of this tsunami led to the creation of the
International Tsunami Warning System of the Pacific (ITSU) in 1965.
finally it BEGINS
My question for Solomon, are you a geology student? Started following after watching your rockhounding videos.
This already happened in Japan and Indonesia, and they're still there. It'll be a bad day, but not the end of the world.
I don't know if this makes sense or not, but do you think you would be interested in filming a walkthrough on the process of determining geologic risks where a person lives or wishes to move to? I think it could come in handy for folks like me that don't exactly know what they are looking for.
There was a major earthquake today where this will take place and multiple more after!
Should we evacuate the entire area right now to avoid all these deaths when the earthquake hits?
Yep, we should. Send everyone to Nebraska.

I adore you. Your comment said it for me.
