Only a matter of time: The disaster awaiting Pacific Northwest

Five years ago a 9.0 mag earthquake and tsunami devastated eastern Japan in 2011, and scientists say it's a question of when, not If, it happens here in the Pacific Northwest; research shows the region is overdue for a major quake. To prepare for a devastating natural disaster, officials are drawing up evacuation plans and greenlighting seismic upgrades. Don Dahler has a report on the efforts some communities are making.

Most of the rest goes to buy and install warning systems such as radio announcements, warning sirens and escape route road signs (which I have seen in western Washington.) If it happens, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE EXCEPT RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!! NOT Lol. As a side note, in Washington in the exact same areas that could be affected by tsunamis, there is worry of lahar mud flows from erupting volcanoes in the Cascades and so they have road signs for that scenario as well.

The historical evidence says the last Tsunami, in year 1700, was 50 meters high, not feet. That makes the "tsunami safe" shelters into deathtraps. The one in three chance of it happening in the next fifty years is a very low estimate. In the last 60.000 years, the earthquakes and tsunamis in this region has been happening regularly every 200 years. Now it is 316 years since the last. The tension between the tectonic plates have been building up for a much longer time than usual. In recent years, we have seen a wave of big earthquakes going around the world. As the tectonic plates are all shoving at each other, there is no reason to believe the ones in the Pacific Northwest will stay put. I think it will come within the next ten years, and it will be a Mega quake. Get the hell out of there, a Tsunami is the only natural disaster you cannot survive. Unless you are more than 50 meters above sea level and on solid ground when it comes, you die.

Well, the first thing you do is get under something sturdy, those desks don't qualify, to avoid falling debris. Second is after about 15-20 seconds of movement you leave the structures and move to clear ground, and high ground if you are in a tsunami vulnerable area. Good luck finding either in coastal California. Especially since you only have about 15 mins or less before the water rolls in and everyone will be moving to the same places at the same time.

I've lived in Southern and Northern California since I was 14 years old. And I've been through numerous earthquakes, which, luckily, I've never experienced any real damage. But I've had numerous dreams over the last few decades of a huge tidal wave rising over the high heels and lower mountains of Central California (the Pacific Ridge from the coast along Pacific Coast Highway (Hwy 1) The height of the waves were approximately 200-300 feet. I've also had dreams of similar waves reaching about 180 feet coming into San Francisco. I lived on the 19th floor of a condominium building on Cathedral Hill at the time. I'm guessing the height of the building along with the height of Cathedral Hill would make the waves around 250 plus in height. That's scary. Sure, I realize these were only dreams. And dreams are almost always due to unsettled hopes and/or fears. But considering that a very large earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone could create such enormous wave height, it's also a valid fear. I certainly hope I never see this in my lifetime. I'm 57 years old now, but I believe it's becoming more likely this could occur at some point in my lifetime. I'm a surfer from the mid 70s. I've surfed California on countless instances, from San Diego to the Oregon border. And I've been on some fairly large waves that reached 20 plus feet. That doesn't sound very intimidating but when you're riding such a wave it's much higher than it's seen. I couldn't imagine being on the coast or especially along the beach front when a 100 plus wave hits. It would be devistating to countless beach front honest and low-lying communities. Thousands along the coast would perish immediately and thousands would be injured severely. And this doesn't include the effects of various earthquakes along the coastal areas. Damn...If this happens, it will be more than anyone has considered. More than FEMA will be able to respond. 😔

This is why I recommend people getting involved in Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT), and getting an amateur radio license.

[@k9builder]

No. Radio transceivers are self-contained devices, with the only serious limiting factor being the antenna connected to radio. To this end, antennas range from simple whip devices that connect directly to a hand-held unit, all the way up to those towers that you have expressed concern about. Truthfully, those towers aren't actually necessary, but they are more efficient than something like a G5RV wire antenna, or some whip type antennas. Truthfully, I seriously doubt that many hams will be using their towers during an emergency, relying more upon G5RV, handheld transceivers with a whip antenna, or NVIS systems. Large scale towers, though quite useful, are more of a luxury, and not all hams can afford them.

The native Americas that settled in this area back in the year 1700 had a devastating Tsunami that killed all near the coast. Apparently the two plate get stuck and release the energy as an earthquake every 500 years or so. As beautiful as this area is it WILL happen again and soon. If you don't learn from history then you will be lost by it.

[@AnitaClue]

It's actually supposed to be about every 200 years, which makes it 118 years overdue.

Hey how’s Fukushima doing these days?

[@odaydrums]

and I saw this coming ....we all have our burdens

[@pauldillingham6316]

The scientists talk about how it is only a matter of time before disaster strikes that area, but how often has that area been hit by tsunamis? Japan has had a history of being hit by tsunamis. I don't think the Pacific Northwest has had the same history, so the scientists could be wrong. With that being said precautions still need to be taken.

[@Imasillylady01]

Possibilities are endless. Add in dormant volcanoes erupting. , hurricanes, tornados, famines, War, famine, etc. we don’t know what bad is.

[@ZanesProductions]

You'd think the catastrophic 2004 and 2011 tsunamis would teach them to take the threat seriously and at least be somewhat scared and prepared.

[@artcurious807]

We should take as an example Fudai Japan and what mayor Kotaku Wamura did to save 3,000 people from the 2011 tsunami. Spend a billion now or 100 billion later, this Cascadia earthquake is a geological inevitability. It is Katrina times 10.

[@i.m.7710]

There was a tsunami in Santa Barbara, California December 1812. Weeks of earthquakes and mudslides. "A wall of water" one person said. The Chumash hiding out from the Mission padres on Santa Rosa island were so freaked out afterwards they got in their canoes and gave themselves into slavery at the Santa Barbara Mission. Santa Barbara was part of Spain then. There was only the Mission and the Presidio, and Chumash living a beautiful life in huts on the beach. The Chumash fished by day and stayed up all night singing, telling stories around a fire, and enjoying life as they had done for 300 years - happy life, no worries. The Spanish officers and padres hated that and wanted them to work at jobs for them. The Chumash who didn't surrender to the Padres left out of fear of the sea and earthquakes and never returned. No record of where they went. A man at the Presidio made an earthquake pendulum, it didn't stop moving for 15 days, constant earthquakes. The water went up as far as de la Guerra plaza is today. A ship came in 3 miles pushed by the tsunami. The crew and ship survived and there is a ship's log record. The amount of people living in Santa Barbara today is staggering compared to 1812. No one is prepared. They will be stuck in traffic trying to escape. This story was suppressed over the years by business interests trying to grow the city. I never heard one thing about it in school. I read it in an 80's real estate brochure.

[@justinm4497]

Guys for crying out loud, we might not like the policies of calif and much of the west coast BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE THERE, quit Hoping for an earthquake, we should he praying they'll see the error of their ways and find Grace in the eye's of the Lord..

[@chadharmon7563]

Justin M so he only helps if you "pray"???? Lmao,you idiots will believe anything. How can anyone truly believe ANY religion?

[@danielmocsny5066]

+Justin M - what do you know about the "Lord" that you did not learn from men? Most likely the answer is "nothing." So who are those men who tell you what to believe, and what did they do to deserve your complete unquestioning trust in nothing more than their words? Are they able to demonstrate their credentials by working the kinds of miracles the bible promises you can do? See Matthew 17:20 - it's been a while since I've seen any Christian throwing a mountain into the sea with just a spoken command. And speaking of errors of "their" ways, if you actually read the bible, you'll read Jesus telling people to stop judging the sins of other people and fix their own sins first. Have you stopped sinning entirely, according to the definition of "sin" that you mindlessly absorbed from your self-appointed spokesmen for God? If you are still sinning routinely, just like 100% of professing Christians, then STFU about other people's "errors." Your own stupid bible says only sinless people can judge others.

[@michaeltipton5500]

I live in Washington State. I find it ironic how people say they can't understand why people would live there is there was such a threat. Meanwhile they are sunning themselves on the beaches of the gulf and Florida knowing a Cat 5 hurricane is inevitable as well.

[@jeantaylor2308]

They are telling us here that everything west of the Willamette River will fall into the ocean. We need to be prepared to be self-sufficient for at least 72 hours. Personally, I don’t think 72 hours is long enough. Also, we need to have guns and ammunition defend ourselves from those who are not prepared.

[@funfreq9282]

Does anyone know the details of said 18% Tax hike? I mean once the improvements are finished I would have demanded the Tax increase be removed as part of the deal leaving maybe a .5% inplace for maintenance. This is the main problem with government in general, once a tax is put in place it stays that way unless it is outlined to be retracted in a specified amount of time. There are so many other ways to pay for something like this other than fleecing the general public of their money.

[@burningsandsexploration3711]

Scientists have been talking about this for many years and yet they are at less than 1 percent of the necessary preparation. It has nothing to do with saving life and all about the money. The reality is that when a catastrophe strikes we're all on our own basically. People need to prepare and protect themselves and their families without relying on the government or agencies because they will not be there for us.

[@TheMadoneTruthSeeker]

Weather and the Earth by their very nature are unpredictable. There is no 100% certainty that 'ANYTHING' will happen. Every 10 Years for at least the last 50 Years in my memory 'Scientists' have predicted specific 'Catastrophic' World Events "In the near future" (I'll list some if you want me to) They have been wrong every time. Disasters that have happened have been random and unpredicted. But their funding is 'renewed' based upon these apocalyptic 'predictions' To keep the people in order, keep them afraid !

There's no other reason than that the Lord God Almighty has blessed us greatly, has stayed His mighty arm of discipline as He wills to do. Heaven knows why when so many of our people deny He exists, spit in His face with their flagrant sins and evil, devastate our most fragile human kind...think He'll do nothing with His rage and wrath. He's waiting, just waiting for His timeline. Time's up? You be the judge. "Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." II Corinthians 3: 17

[@jenniekelly571]

The fact that where they wanted to move Seaside School to had an 18% tax increase is disgusting. The area where they wanted to move them to should have given them a break, and even lowered their taxes there. Actions like this says to our country, that they didn't care about the children. If a large corporation wanted to open a facility in the same area, that areas political representatives would have not only given them a huge discount on power for 10-15 years, but would have given them a 0 tax or a very low tax for the next 10-15 years. The greed in this country is one of the things that are going to cause us to go down.............

Wow, this was really very understated. You don't only lose several thousand people when a 4 minute long 9.6-9.8 quake hits. The Juan de Fuce plate sits off of the northern coast of California, about even with where Mount Shasta sits inland and stretches all the way up into B.C. and it should be moving about 10 feet, at the very, very least, it will most likely be closer to 60 feet.

Look at the pictures of the Alaska 1964 earthquake. You’ll see pictures of what you can expect. I recently moved after living in Oregon for 25 years. I did a 28 page report on this fault line and it scared me to realize how it will devastate the Pacific Northwest. These people have no idea what they are in for. There will be no way in or out for months. Helicopters will have to drop food in, no emergency services, police, electricity, gas, or water. There is a 33% chance of it striking in the next 50 years. It will be the biggest disasters to hit America ever. The earthquake can strike anywhere from Canada to Eureka, California, but it can trigger the San Andreas Fault-line. The tsunami isn’t going to stop in Eureka, it could devastate the California coastline down to Souther California.
