Scientists are sounding the alarm over a terrifying possibility — a 1,000-foot mega tsunami that could strike the US West Coast with almost no warning. New research shows the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a massive fault line off the Pacific Northwest, could trigger a magnitude 9.0 earthquake, unleashing waves that would swallow cities like Seattle, Portland, and beyond in mere minutes.
Experts estimate there's a 15% chance of this disaster striking in the next 50 years — and if it does, millions could be at risk. Unlike slow-rising sea levels, this event would flood coastal areas by over 6 feet within seconds, leaving no time to adapt or escape.
This video breaks down what you need to know about this looming threat — and why scientists say we're not talking about it enough. WooGlobe Ref : WGA432218 For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com
