Downtown Portland is built on sandy soil, liquefaction will sink the buildings that don't collapse, they definitely need to adjust the numbers.

I saw on some video that there's a power plant on the Oregon coast that supplies a mighty big chunk of the state's power. A tsunami hitting that would be bad news.

17:03 "Even those of Redding and Medford are heading to the likes of Arcata and Brookings" Tell me you know nothing about Humboldt/NorCal without saying you know nothing about Humboldt/NorCal. Our beaches want to kill us, so most don't go in the water. To cool off most of us go to rivers or inland lakes.

Here's a video for viewers in PNW America viewers. Talks in kilometers and meters...

It could be off the scale too….😂

Mount Mizama (sp ) resolving its anger issues 😂 I love the format , visualisation and commentary . I am an uneducated geology enthusiast . This is so easy to follow and understand . Thank you so much for making these . ❤

The largest earthquake ever recorded was a magnitude 9.5 earthquake that occurred on May 22, 1960, off the coast of southern Chile. The earthquake, also known as the Valdivia earthquake or the Great Chilean earthquake, lasted 10 minutes and occurred at a subduction zone where the Pacific plate meets the South American plate This earthquake generated a tsunami that was destructive not only along the coast of Chile, but also across the Pacific in Hawaii, Japan, and the Philippines. The earthquake was preceded by four important foreshocks, including a Mw 8.2 on May 21 that caused severe damage in the Concepción area and generated a small tsunami. Many aftershocks followed, with five of magnitude 7.0 or greater through November 1. The rupture zone was estimated to be about 1,000 km from Lebu to Puerto Aysen. The number of fatalities in Chile associated with both the earthquake and tsunami has been estimated to be between 490 and 5,700. The Chilean government estimated 2 million people were left homeless and the damage was USD $550 million. In Hawaii, the tsunami caused 61 deaths, 43 injuries, and USD $23.5 million in damage. Additional damage of USD $1 million, 2 deaths, and 4 injuries resulted on the U.S. west coast from 1-2 m waves. The tsunami hit the Pacific coast of Japan almost a day after the earthquake causing 139 deaths and destroying or washing away almost 3,000 houses in the Hokkaido, Aomori, Iwate, and Fukushima Prefectures. Waves observed in Japan were higher than other adjacent regions nearer to the source due to the directivity of tsunami wave radiation. At least 21 people died in the Philippines due to the tsunami. This is the largest earthquake ever instrumentally recorded and the global extent of this tsunami led to the creation of the International Tsunami Warning System of the Pacific (ITSU) in 1965.

Beautiful mountain to look at but it feels wrong

Eastern washington is superior

I pray God spares the northwest from destructions.

We're really hoping this happens well before the election in November.

SUBSCRIBED!!!! Wow! I live in the Midwest in Missouri, always watch the New Madrid fault!!

I live north of Seattle, the infrastructure isnt up to just normal, we pay taxes, modern standards. If an earthquake 7.0 hits, it will destroy everything from Portland to Canada, everything is old and outdated here, to many bridges even just rural 2 lane ones.

Personally, I think it will be God's wrath for liberal ideology in this region!

Thankfully, it will never happen.

This already happened in Japan and Indonesia, and they're still there. It'll be a bad day, but not the end of the world.

I wouldn't say Portland has character!

Why can’t they do something to stop it,,, with so much technology we have why can’t they Stop that from happening????

The only way to prepare for a 9+ earthquake is to not be there. Humans cannot win over nature during an event this catastrophic. More attention needs be given to building tsunami platforms for all those living within a few kilometers of the beaches. If Cascadia does the big rip, there won't be much time to react before the water comes.

I'm surprised you didn't talk about obsidian when you were at Newberry crater. The obsidian flows are as impressive as they get.

My senior class project was with the Portland Water Department less than 10 years so. They discussed what would happen to the water supply due to this expected earthquake. They were very dire. Said we need water and supplies for SIX MONTHS. And even then they said that might not be enough (we would need many years probably). They said those of us on the Westside of Portland are basically S.O.L. They said we all needed to warn our loved ones, bc it was only a matter of time. They said they cannot repair the old pipes fast enough. There will be no water at all for us out here. They said that is the plan, bc they cannot prepare effectively fast enough. Just so everyone knows, they are not planning to help us really. It will be every man for himself.

No doubt the junkie filled tent cities would survive.

The 'Big One' has been happening since continental drift started. Just a very local 'bad day'. The very fast speed of temperature rise is global and with long lasting changes everywhere.

That was a big one there is a bigger one on the way RPS 111

I had a nightmare Californian suffered an earthquake lasting 9 days 😳 imagine what destruction that caused...

Bro, the size of earthquakes does not end in 9s just because we haven't seen it in our history. There is coming something much worse where the entire N. American landmass heaves westward by several hundred feet and propagates tsunamis of over 1,000 feet in height. I tell you this because I've seen it in an Out of Body Experience. An OBE is the same as a NDE and NOTHING like a dream. Look where the landmass broke away from the others and has traveled across the plate creating the Atlantic ocean. Sea floor spreading at a fingernail's growth rate over millions of years is mistaken information (or a lie). The oceans come across the lands and we'll likely see this in our lifetime. You've been warned with truth.

Nice. How can we make it happen faster?

Portland is the nation’s dumpster fire, it has lost any character it once had.

You are way overblowing it brother. Uranium was used in glassware and highly collected. Without refining it,it's about as harmful as a chocolate chip cookie

i live a half mile east of I-5 so i'm good!

How bad would the Ballard locks area be?

What if a Cascadia event triggered Mt. Rainier?

Also, my mom lives on west Queen Anne and my stepmom lives in Madrona, both equidistant from water (5 blocks puget sound and 5 blocks lake Washington). How might they fare in a cascades event. I know all the hills are sand bluffs in Seattle.

I live in Wenatchee. What should I expect here? I assume massive flooding from a surge up the Columbia but I really have no clue

Bro just keeps repeating the same info.

The power of 10

They don't even mention how such a strong quake could wake up several of the countries Northwest volcanoes in and around the same affected area.

Seems bad till you realize Seattle and Portland are the types of cities where a glass of water with a D on it will win an election over Republicans, every time. Then it’s not so tragic.

"DESTROY the Pacific Northwest"? Lol, maybe the cities, but not the PNW. They are not the same thing.

Good job. How about San francisco and silicon valley bay area if a 9.2 hits？

The question I’m asking myself right now is, why am lying in bed in my Seattle apartment and watching this before I go to sleep? This is the stuff nightmares are made of. God Bless us in our region when this happens. 😢🙏🏽

Great tour of the Cascades. But... At Crater lake you have Annie creek that comes out of the south wall and flows too Klamath lake. Also water seeps out to creat the north Umpqua, and the Rogue river. If it didn't the lake would fill too the rim and spill over the edges.

Time to move back to tornado alley…..

Okay. Now wouldn't it earthquake that big set up at the fault lines like the San Andreas and what about volcanoes in California Oregon and Washington ? And look at what happened to Japan with its nuclear power plant how many our along the west coast

Yeahhhh I am really terrified.....of nothing. The cities in the PNW are not on the coast. Japan however has cities on the coast. And with the looting in Seattle and Portland what damage could be caused by an earthquake?

How many times can you say SAN ANDREAS FAULT?

Gonna take my nephews out to explore these faults. I just went to Valley of Fire a few weeks back and knew I was going over a fault and told my wife so.

STOP BROADCASTING FEAR.
