WooGlobe

Could a 1,000-foot mega-tsunami hit the U.S.? Experts are sounding the alarm over a catastrophic wave that could devastate the West Coast, Alaska, and Hawaii. A major earthquake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone may trigger a tsunami large enough to wipe out entire cities in minutes. Rising global temperatures are also increasing the risk of glacier landslides and volcanic instability—especially in Alaska and Hawaii.  In this video, we break down the science behind this terrifying possibility, reveal which regions are most at risk, and share essential steps you can take to stay safe.

00:00What if a 1,000-foot wave was headed straight for the U.S. coast?

00:04Scientists are raising urgent alarms.

00:06America could face a megatsunami powerful enough to erase entire cities in minutes.

00:11The danger? It starts along the West Coast.

00:14A newly released study warns of a possible megaquake from the Cascadia subduction zone,

00:19stretching from California to British Columbia.

00:22If it hits, it could trigger a tsunami over 1,000 feet high.

00:26But that's not the only risk.

00:28Alaska and Hawaii are also under threat.

00:31Glacier landslides and volcanic instability could spark massive waves like the one in 1958 that towered at 1,700 feet.

00:40As global temperatures rise, the land grows more unstable.

00:43Entire floodplains along the U.S. coastline could expand, making recovery even harder.

00:49So what can you do?

00:50Experts say sign up for alerts.

00:53Know your evacuation route.

00:55And build a go-bag that could save your life.
