Scientists have issued a terrifying new warning — a massive earthquake and mega tsunami could strike the U.S. West Coast before the year 2100. The threat lies in the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a 620-mile-long fault line that could trigger catastrophic flooding across cities like Seattle, Portland, and parts of Northern California.
With up to a 29% chance of a magnitude 8.0 or higher earthquake within the next 75 years, the potential impact is devastating: tens of thousands of buildings flooded, vital infrastructure wiped out, and farmland permanently destroyed by saltwater. And unlike hurricanes or wildfires, this disaster could strike with no warning at all.
In this video, we break down the science behind the threat, the areas at greatest risk, and what this means for millions living along the Pacific Northwest. WooGlobe Ref : WGA894400 For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com
