A Mega Tsunami Could Hit the U.S. — And It’s Closer Than You Think :water_wave: Scientists are raising alarms about a catastrophic tsunami that could devastate parts of the U.S. coastline. Alaska, Hawaii, and the West Coast are under serious threat, with the potential for waves over 1,000 feet high. A powerful earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone could trigger this nightmare scenario — and experts say there's a 15% chance of it happening in the next 50 years.  In this video, we break down the science, the history, and the real danger behind the mega-tsunami threat — including shocking events from Alaska's past where waves reached 1,700 feet high.

00:00What if a wave as tall as a skyscraper suddenly crashed into the U.S. coast?

00:04Scientists say it's not just possible, it's increasingly likely.

00:08Experts are warning of a mega-tsunami that could wipe out entire communities in seconds.

00:13We're talking about waves over 1,000 feet high, enough to swallow cities.

00:18Three regions are in serious danger.

00:20Alaska, Hawaii, and the U.S. West Coast.

00:23A new study focuses on the Cascadia subduction zone,

00:26a 700-mile fault stretching from California to Canada.

00:30It has a 15% chance of unleashing an 8.0-plus magnitude earthquake in the next 50 year.

00:36That could drop land by 6 feet instantly and flood vast coastal areas.

00:41Hawaii and Alaska face threats, too.

00:43Melting glaciers in Alaska could trigger landslides.

00:46Hawaii's unstable volcanoes add more fuel to the fire.

00:50And there's historical proof.

00:51In 1958, a landslide in Alaska caused a wave that soared 1,700 feet up a mountainside.

00:58In 2015, another wave hit 600 feet after a glacier collapse.

01:02Experts say we must prepare now.

01:04Because when nature moves, it won't wait for us to catch up.

01:08This isn't science fiction.

01:10It's science warning us.

01:11Will we listen in time?

01:12And then we'll see where to occur.

01:25I feel we're going to take a lot of snow and snow.

01:25I feel it's a waste of time.

01:27I feel it's a waste of time.

01:33I feel already in a state of controversy.

01:35I'm sure I'll be listening to my own econ slight grinds.
