1,000-Foot Mega Tsunami Could Destroy U.S. West Coast in Minutes

WooGlobe

A terrifying 1,000-foot mega tsunami could crash into the U.S. West Coast — and scientists say it’s not a matter of if, but when. Triggered by a powerful earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone, this monster wave could wipe out cities like Seattle, Portland, and parts of Northern California in just minutes. Experts warn that current tsunami maps don’t even account for rising sea levels, which could make the disaster even worse. In this video, we break down the shocking science behind this looming threat, the history of past quakes, and what could happen if the fault ruptures again. Stay to the end to find out why the sooner it happens, the better. WooGlobe Ref : WGA671096 For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com

00:00What if a wave taller than the Eiffel Tower wiped out entire cities in minutes?

00:04Scientists are warning of a 1,000-foot mega-tsunami that could strike the U.S. West Coast,

00:09and it's not science fiction.

00:11At the heart of it lies the Cascadia subduction zone,

00:14a massive fault line stretching from California to Canada.

00:18If it ruptures, and experts say it will, possibly within our lifetime,

00:21it could trigger a magnitude 9 earthquake.

00:24Within minutes, a monster wave could smash into cities like Seattle and Portland,

00:28buildings submerged, roads wiped out,

00:32thousands of lives lost before anyone can react.

00:35Researchers say the land itself could sink six feet.

00:38And the flood zone? It could stay altered for centuries.

00:41Ironically, the sooner this tsunami hits, the better,

00:44because rising sea levels will make it worse.

00:47History proves this isn't just a theory.

00:50In 1700, a similar quake destroyed an entire village in British Columbia.

00:55Scientists are now begging for urgent action,

00:57because when this wave comes, it won't wait for warnings.

01:00process.
