1,000-Foot Mega Tsunami Could Wipe Out US Coast in Minutes

WooGlobe

A 1,000-foot mega tsunami could wipe out the U.S. West Coast in just minutes — and scientists say it’s not a matter of if, but when. Triggered by a powerful earthquake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone, this wave could engulf entire cities like Seattle, Portland, and parts of California, claiming tens of thousands of lives.  Researchers warn that our current tsunami maps are outdated and don’t account for rising sea levels or the devastating amplification effects. The last mega quake hit in 1700 — and the next one could be far worse. WooGlobe Ref : WGA549255 For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com
