Mega Tsunami Warning: 1,000-Foot Wave Could Hit U.S. West Coast

WooGlobe

A massive 1,000-foot &quot;mega tsunami&quot; could strike the U.S. West Coast — and scientists say it’s not a matter of if, but when. Triggered by the dangerous Cascadia Subduction Zone, this wave could drown cities like Seattle and Portland in just minutes. Researchers warn that rising sea levels will only make it worse. With the last major quake hitting in 1700, experts say time is running out.  In this video, we break down what could happen, how many lives are at risk, and why the current tsunami maps might be dangerously outdated. Stay informed — this could be the most devastating natural disaster in U.S. history. WooGlobe Ref : WGA955422 For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com

00:00What if a wave taller than the Empire State Building hit the U.S. coast in minutes?

00:04Scientists say it could really happen, and soon, a terrifying mega-tsunami

00:09could drown entire cities along the U.S. west coast,

00:12and scientists are warning the clock is ticking.

00:15It all starts with the Cascadia Subduction Zone,

00:17a 600-mile fault line from Canada to California.

00:21If it ruptures with an earthquake of magnitude 8 or higher,

00:24it could trigger a tsunami up to 1,000 feet tall.

00:27That's taller than almost any skyscraper.

00:30And it wouldn't take hours to hit, just minutes.

00:33Washington, Oregon, and Northern California would be swallowed almost instantly.

00:38Cities like Seattle and Portland? Gone.

00:40Land could sink six feet.

00:42Buildings, roads, submerged.

00:45And here's the twist.

00:46Experts say the sooner it happens, the better.

00:49Because rising sea levels could make the wave even more deadly.

00:52The FEMA death toll estimate?

00:55Over 13,000 lives, in minutes.

00:57And shockingly, current maps don't even reflect how bad it could be.

01:01The last time this happened was in 1700.

01:04Now, scientists say it's not if, but when.
