The Cascadia subduction event occurs about every 3 or 4 hundred years. Mud core samples confirm this. Ideally communities can prepare

I watched one documentary there kind of expecting a 80 percent chance of cascades with in the next 10 to 20 years

This century!

We will witness this event. It happens every 300 years and it’s way over due. It could also possibly set off the San Andreas fault line because they’re connected to one another. Imagine that, a double whammy? 😳😳😳

California is the hell mouth

Leave before November. If nothing happens you can always move back.

Move before November that's the safest idea

As another native Pacific Northwesterner, I have also heard threats of the "big one" my whole life. Between the "big one", California breaking off and causing devastation to the whole West, Yellowstone having a major geyser explosion, and threats of Dante's Peak 2.0 (Mt. St. Helen's), I still have no idea what to even prepare for, let alone try to be prepared at all. Am I supposed to prepare for earthquakes, tsunamis, or volcanic doomsday? How would I even go about preparing for that, beyond building a crazy doomsday bunker? Even if we wanted to, I doubt humans could prepare properly for all eventual disasters.

Maybe they forgot to carry a one in their calculations...

Humans learn from experience, so it'll have to happen first before preparing for the next one.

If there is little chance of survival, why build all the infrastructure?

It could be due to that 4th gr teacher's reaction.

Also thanks to the Japanese for keeping such meticulous records that we could go back to 1700 and see that the mysterious tsunami they experienced had an origin across the Pacific

Japan actually had it written down and the PNW natives too so I don't think so.

Whatever man builts, Nature will destroy.

That’s sucks thinking I’m being proactive just for Mother Nature to say no you don’t

Wall : 10 meter wall Earthquake : hold my beer

10 meters is just under 33 feet......2011 tsunami reached 38 meters...124 feet tall, basically 90 feet higher than the protective wall.

Humans: We built this wall so that it’ll hold off a tsunami. Mother Nature: Hold this… No matter what we try to do to avoid a catastrophic event from occurring, Mother Nature has the last say so in the matter.

Exactly. Same with Global Warming. I was in my early teens when this word came out, and was said that by 2015 the entire earth will be solar, the globe will be dead if we aren't green. 2015 was 6 years ago .... It's the big CO2 Giants that ruin the environment, buying a 'green' lightbulb does NOTHING. But, it's good fear tactics and promotes consumerism, while the big CO2 polluters laugh all the way to the bank.

@@lillypod1337 , Global warming is a hoax and pure bullshit. Research about the Modern Grand Solar Minimum which began in 2020 and the Kali Yuga which ends in 2025. The ignorant masses have no idea about the coming destruction, suffering and chaos that happens during Grand Solar Minimums and at the end of Yugas.

It won’t hurt being cautious. Nothing is certain

It's media hype, excused by 'geologically soon', which is compared to the Earth as 4.7 billion years old. 'Recent' is 15,000 years ago, 'soon' is sometime in the next few thousand years. You'll have to wait to sue them for lying.

If its not TheBigOne, proper furniture placement and securing shelves/hutches et keeps even the most delicate porcelain intact.(Hotel chandeliers always, only swing east-west.

Don’t worry about it. Everyone is due to die someday. Whether it’s from an earthquake, a tsunami, or whatever. Thinking about it changes nothing. We all have to realize that we are all going to die one day, whether we like it or not.

@@raisin4406 exactly, worrying about the inevitable will just lead you to live a very sad life.

Your fine if you ain't living near the ocean 🙁

I always worried about the next big earthquake but you can't keep telling people this and try to freak people out! There's nothing we can do to avoid a quake to happen or when it happens..... we just need to be calm and deal with it!

Big facts.

These people can cause all the hysteria they want when they should be preparing. It’s not like the pacific north west has been anticipating a large earthquake for over half a century. Wtf

@@Ziggysdankgenetics Do you really believe that they wish to cause hysteria?

Agree. It’s going to be really really bad here. On the coast there’re signs for tsunami zone, but I don’t think people actually know what to do when the big one hits, and the buildings are NOT earthquake proof at all in PNW. In Japan most buildings are earthquake proof, and they run regular drills for earthquake and tsunami, yet they lost almost 20,000 lives to tsunami back in 2011.

@@Ziggysdankgenetics As a native Californian we have been training for this our whole lives… anyone 5yr and up knows the procedure. The only people who are hysterical are those who never experienced an earthquake and claim they survived when a baby one hits. Also I kinda low key don’t feel bad for the beach homes that will be lost but more so the beach goers who won’t make it before the tsunami hits land. We are likely to get some terrible shocks before and after the big one. The thing that sucks is people don’t have satellite phones and land lines anymore so reaching loved ones will be hard if things get destroyed and disconnected.

The San Andreas fault isn’t under water

The number of people at risk is overall very small comapred to japan. There are only a few communities by the ocean but they are small like Coos Bay or Port Angeles etc. The big cities like here in Seattle are over 130 miles/200KM away from the Ocean but there is always a risk of water level rising and flooding so there are sirens and evacuation paths just in case.

With the way the Richter Scale works, each number equates to a *significantly* more violent earthquake than the last, so a 9 would be absolutely catastrophic.

Yes we are! And, helloooo! ⭐

Quite a miracle, isn’t it?

Kinda true sadly so

Does that still justify a supreme being at all?

@@MemoirsofaBasketcaseit’s an inherently negative belief to hold that there is no creator of the universe because what follows is a meaningless and a futile life. I choose the belief that leads to meaning. Because otherwise I would rather be dead if I found out definitively that the contrary were true. There can be no meaning in a happenstance universe and thus nothing would matter in this scenario. There’s is no such thing as actual love or right or wrong; A mass murder wasn’t wrong, it was just natural selection in an arbitrary universe. So I think that though neither position can be proved definitively, it’s a much more positive belief to hold that there is a creator. Plus, scientific theories are based off observation - but we have never observed something coming from nothing. So it is extremely rational to believe in intelligent creation as a base worldview. And It’s belief worth spreading because the opposite, nihilism, leads to depression an anxiety. That’s where I was in high school.

@@stephsunlover4795 you sound very insecure, coated with a layer of narcissism.

The wave comes in…then it goes back out carrying everything it knocked loose coming in! At the sight of La Chole near Zhuatenajo, the tsunami went in about 4-5 kilometers, washed over earthen pyramids 20-30 feet tall, and buried everything at ground level in about 3-5 feet of sand. There is a museum there now that has many artifacts that have been found from excavations, in the ground around the area after rainstorms remove sand, and construction of local houses, etc. I have visited the area twice and it is quite interesting to see the excavations, visit local residents, and learn of the culture that existed. There are about 10 sports fields located by satellite photos, and one has been excavated, as well as one of the earthen pyramids surface area and crest platform of about 1+ acres. We ate lunch prepared by one of the village couples and they had about 30+ artifacts just sitting on the ground in their backyard consisting of bowls, plates, implements and even a grain or corn grinding platform like a small corn hole game platform, carved out of stone about 1/5 the size. There are many more artifacts that were sent to the cultural museum in Mexico City. What will happen on the Pacific coast will be very similar from an earthquake of 9+. The Jan 1, 1700 tsunami was recorded in documents in Japan that registered the tsunami arriving on Jan 2nd since it had crossed the international dateline the same day. 😳

Not to mention, the actual ground the "tsunami towers" are anchored to, will be moved aside several dozen 'er so feet/yards...quite VIOLENTLY!

@@fobbitoperator3620 I've worked as a foundation and geotechnical engineer in previous stages of my career, so I can give you a little information here. Many steel frame structures with deep foundations actually faired quite well in the 2011 Japan tsunami. The problem was there weren't many of them. Most residential structures were built on shallow foundations with wood framing, and these were either destroyed or broke away from their foundations and floated away and were completely destroyed. The schematic shown in the video of the towers shows them with deep foundations, which would be drilled concrete piers or driven steel piers anchored in bedrock, or 50 to 100 feet into solid soil. This would assure that the structures would not move even during a violent tsunami.

@@DirtFlyer Aaaahhhhh yes, a fellow adult speaking with wisdom, common sense, & science. Rare these days here on the interwebs nets. I myself was a Local 1 Ironworker (not an engineer) in Chicago for 13 years. I assembled & installed deep subterranean caissons to reinforce foundations for high rises, highway overpasses, & a myriad of other structures which required heavy duty lateral support. For sustained lateral pressure, like wind, floods hyperactive 6 year olds on BIG wheels etc, I would presume these types of structures would have the depth & tinsel strength to stand up to high winds, raging flood waters & maybe even low registering Earthquakes. But a 300-400 mph +100' tall tsunami?? Eehhh, I'm going to go out in a limb here & say perhaps if fabricated with the utmost of high quality alloys & erected properly, the physical structures "could" stand up to that sort of hydro-blast. (nevermind all the aggregate/debris the tsunami brings with it) But the people dwelling within the structures would end up bursting into piles of hamburger meat, due to the raw power of the impact, & the ambient explosive pressure of a MMAAASSIVE wave of incalculable volume & velocity slamming into the structure at those speeds. Your comment made perfect sense from an structural engineering standpoint. But the soft liquid filled bodies of the people within the structures would practically explode with all that intense pressure lambasting them all at once. Kansas, Nebraska & even Idaho would be safe from tsunamis. Relocation might be a sound plan. CHEERS!!!

@@fobbitoperator3620 That's some good hard work you've done! I've done inspection work on a few sites where some of these massive structures were installed. The equipment and capabilities is always mind blowing to me when you get to see the 10+ foot diameter drilled piers going in. The only structures that withstood the tsunami in Japan were BOTH steel or concrete structures and with deep foundations. And if you're below water level in one of those buildings you are still toast. But new skyscrapers are built to withstand 8+ magnitude earthquakes, although they employ even more measure such as active damping within the buildings and such. A tsunami tower would not require that level of engineering and is specifically designed to endure the forces of the tsunami waves and debris crashing into it. I believe you also would not have walls on the towers, just the bare steel framework perhaps with concrete to protect from debris, so the lateral forces would be decreased. Your thoughts on the speed of a tsunami aren't quite accurate. In the open ocean tsunamis do travel at the speed of jet airplanes. Once they get into shallow water they slow down significantly to the speed of a severe flash flood. There are many videos of the tsunami in Japan where you can observe this up close and personal. As far as the height...100 feet is extremely rare for a tsunami. In the instances where it did occur in Japan, it was due to a combination of the entire land mass dropping down many feet, and the wave height being amplified as it came into narrowing ports and harbors with steep, high shore slopes. These types of harbors are not very common on the OR or WA coast, although they definitely could experience the drop in elevation of the landmass to some degree. I would guess that in Japan's tsunami the average wave height was somewhere around 40 feet high. In the end, I would say that a tower is a "good enough for now" approach. The better long term approach would be moving entire cities and towns on the coast to higher ground, and building bigger highway evacuation routes with more resilient bridges.
