The Pacific Northwest is due for a Major Earthquake

They have been saying the big one is coming since the 60s. It could be as close as tomorrow or 1000 years from now and it would still be just a blink of an eye for the Earth.

Born & raised in the Pacific Northwest i've been hearing this all my life. I predict we won't be prepared b/c it's easy to become complacent & say "yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever" until it happens then we'll complain why nobody warned us. Just human nature isn't it?

A close family member (president of the mining association Canada) showed me maps of what would happen to the coast line of B.C if a magnitude 8.5 or above happened. It was absolutely shocking. If you're in North Van, Delta, Tsawwassen, or anywhere near Richmond, god be with you. These areas aren't on bedrock and will sink/landslide before a tsunami even hits. Everything will be under 75+ feet of water.

I’ve been around the Olympic Peninsula. Coastal communities severely lack in emergency evacuation routes. Highways need to become freeway sized in order to move massive amounts of vehicles in a hurry. No stop signs or traffic lights to stop or delay emergency evacuation routes. Winding mountain Highway 101 is only 2 lanes in some areas. I experienced Texas coastal Hurricanes & Tornadoes. Emergency Evacuation easily crawls to a snail pace. There is little chance that most people will survive the big one.

0:49 wow that visual was a trip… that graph shows my anxiety levels when the water in the toilet rises instead of flushes

Watching this after a bunch of small earthquakes in northern CA today

wow they predicted the 7,8 mag in Turkey

I am legitimately terrified of this happening in the very near future. I remember the one that happened when I was in fourth grade and my teacher was so scared. I couldn't concentrate for days after. Idk why but earthquakes terrify me so bad!

They've been saying California is due for the big since the 1950's, I remember the paranoia it caused as a child.

The Japanese thought they’d made themselves safe with a 10 meter tsunami defence wall. Except when the earthquake hit a few years ago the coastline dropped by several meters lowering the wall by the same amount

Thank you so much for this!

Any one after turkey Syria earthquake

Brian Atwater is the geologist who figured out the 1700 tsunami mystery. We all owe him a huge thank you.

8.2 today in Alaska. We haven't even seen the aftermath yet. Still waiting for more news. Tsunami warnings are in effect in Hawaii... stay safe everyone. 😪

Our government can give billions of taxpayer dollars to pharmaceutical companies, but not a modest amount to recognize our American Natives.

Alaska had an 8.2 about 2 months ago. My husband and I felt every bit of it.

Well, that assumes it hits before the Pacific Northwest burns down first.

My anxiety just went up a magnitude of 100.

I was born & raised, and still live here in Washington state for nearly 60 years. I find it interesting how so many people who live in our state will listen to warnings, and actually see signs with their own eyes, and yet... they still just go on about their merry little lives without a second thought. Those are the people who really are not prepared in some way in case of a disaster. And if they survive, they'll be some of the first ones running and screaming for help while standing in long lines to get it. Be prepared. Those people are the ones who will kill you out of desperation.

Turkiye just suffered from a 7.8magnitude killed 3,000 plus and counting. Pray for them
