An 8.0-magnitude-plus earthquake hasn’t rumbled beneath the Pacific Northwest for the reason that 1700s. Now, the area is due for the following “huge one” and a subsequent tsunami. Coastal Indigenous communities may very well be severely affected. (Already, the Shoalwater Bay Tribe is developing a tsunami tower to offer their residents a greater shot at survival within the face of this sort of pure catastrophe.)
Clues from the previous—paired with modern-day science—might help us higher perceive why this space is in danger and easy methods to finest mitigate an earthquake and tsunami’s results.

It will happen with in 10 years. Tonga erupted. West coast is surely next.
Hopefully it breaks California off into the ocean
Seeing how people are handling the Pandemic I'm quite certain being prepared is not on anyone's mind at the moment.

Tonga this is eruption not earthquake
More people chatting rubbish about the big one,but look the hunga tonga volcano erupted but no one had a clue…
dang The Pacific Northwest is missing some BIG bill man gota pay them bills man.
Would clackamas be fine if this happens?
Very real. In 2020 we had thousands of small quakes many off shore but all reletivelly close to BC coast between mainland and island. Scarey it's going to happen. Vancouver needs a nice big 9.0. To shake vancover good.
I can't afford a tsunami tower but I'd pitch in for some DNA tests to see what percentage "Native American" those incredibly average looking white folks are…
Reacting to the title only: We’ve known this for five decades. And yet…?
Been in the PNW for decades. I know we're due for another big one(every 20-ish years). It been just over that since the Feb/2021 shake. Part of me hopes it divides into several smaller shifts; part of me wants 'the big one'.
Federally recognized or not, the threat of a possible tsunami should be reason enough for the federal and state authorities to support all efforts to protect and save human lives, American lives.
I am moving to Toronto only because of this threat this year. I have an intense fear of this quake. I can't sleep at night, sometimes I sleep with my desk over my bed. Lol. Thanks for this.. X.x
It could push the South Eastern U.S. coastline farther under water then the flooding now occurring today on the way down to Miami Florida… There's a eastern fault too that's been moving…
We are in Vegas and if it happens we go there to help save all Animals
Prior to Entertainment Tonight Era, they were called, "tidal waves". But MEDIA had to have a hyperbolic CATCHY label. So now they call them Tsunami. Oooo. BULLSHIT.
It will be great. A cleansing.
get ready for dante's peak
Good, can't wait!!! 🤣
The Great Earthquake in the Bible will shake the whole Earth and every mountain will be moved from it's place. Not much anyone gonna be able to do to escape this accept for 🙏. Yep all these calamities going on are birthing Pangs. But hey science won't tell you that. 👍😁
It WONT BE 1000 years from now. It will Most Definitely be sooner. All these earthquakes volcanoes going off are the BEGINNINGS OF BIRTH PAINS . Like a women in Labor. Don’t get Complacent! LOOK UP! WHEN ( ALL ) THESE THINGS CONVERGE , YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWS NEAR. 🙏🙏
The last major earthquake in America was the 9.2 alaska had in 1952 not the one in 1700
Wait, they built a tsunami tower for the most vulnerable population, such as the elderly and disabled, which features hundreds of stairs and zero ramps. Who was the big brain behind this design? 😆
I hope it happens tomorrow I'm prepared for it. I have a boat, and a map of a bunch of ATM machines. Just like black families in the south when a hurricane is coming they already know all the stores they are going to be looting
