I was in the Alaska eathquake in 1964 and in the Nisqually quake in 2001 while living in Olympia. There is a hugh difference between a 9.2 quake lasting 5 minutes versus one that is 6.8 at 30 seconds. In the later I was not even concerned. I knew that it wasn't the type of quake that would cause devastation. Am I concerned about the big one possibly occurring in my lifetime? Yes! And I am always prepared although not in a crazy way. I do have a plan for my home and my car. I do have water and other supplies in both places. It is not hard to do and I would hope others find the time to do the same. You really can not imagine what a 9.2 quake feels like for 5 minutes. It is really just unbelievable the power of the earth.

I used to live near Ocean Shores, and many people think that if they get to higher ground, they'll be safe, but as often as Washington gets landslides, the higher ground probably will slide. Then there's the liquidation that will happen. I also lived by the Columbia River and realized that living along the river and close to the ocean, that place wouldn't be safe. Trying to deal with liquefaction while dodging trees and whatever else may come loose during an earthquake would be so difficult, if not possible.

@@rebeccapierson5498 That's what's in *my* face, Rebecca. I wouldn't worry much about people in Ocean Shores if they actually can *find* higher ground in time: if they can, the ground beneath them isn't actually loose, and it won't liquify (much, if at all)... but your mention of upriver on the Columbia is the scary part. Tsunami be damned: liquifaction of riverfront areas built on loose fill is a really serious problem in Portland. Look at how much of exactly that same land is currently occupied by petroleum and chemical tank farms.

I used to live 50 miles from Mendocino Triple Junction in Eureka, California. "They" say that is the most seismically active place in California. I moved there in 1982 and over the next 40 years, there were hundreds of earthquakes, but only a few that I can remember. There was a 6.5 and a 6.8, a few 5.0 and the rest were all 4.0 or less. What really made a difference was the depth. Anything more than 20 miles down was barely noticeable. But 10 miles or less would get your attention pretty quickly...

The estimated magnitude provided by Japanese scientists was icing on the cake.

Dr Zentner, I don't think the emergency service manager was exaggeration that much when he used the word "toast." He has to take the broad view and plan for the worst. And since he is not a geologist, he is not aware of the distinctions you are making among crustal bounce-back earthquakes (I forgot the technical term), shallow quakes on crustal faults and deep subduction zone quakes. He conflated the damage any one of them can do into one image. I was in Japan for both the Kobe earthquake and the Fukushima earthquake. After the later, I walked home along with a great many other people. And many people, used to using public transportation, didn't have a clear idea of where they were going. (Fortunately, having ridden my bike around town quite a bit, I had no problem there.) The telephone system was overloaded so personal communication was impossible (I imaging emergency services did better). Gas was out as infrastructure to prevent gas leaks kicked in. (Does the Pacific Northwest have such safety measures? Imaging fires from ruptured gas mains.) I just checked a newspaper article and train service to Tohoku is still not fully restored and is not expected to be restored until 2020. Thousands of non-Japanese left. Many in northern Japan went south and west for several weeks. Electrical power was rationed. After the Kobe earthquake, fires burned for several days. Fire crews from quite far away were sent in. The expressway collapsed. Following these earthquakes, Japan might not have been "toast," but it certainly wasn't a piece of cake. After the Loma Prieta earthquake, the Bay Bridge was closed for a month. How long will the bridge across Lake Washington be closed following a severe earthquake? What other bridges will be unusable? Will trains be able to run? How well will the power grid function? Remember the bridge on I 5 that collapsed into the Skagit River in 2013 (and there wasn't even an earthquake)? How many more bridges are there that might collapse? And losing several bridges will be much worse than losing just one. Everything west of I5 might not be toast, but there will probably be a lot of jam on the rug.

Thanks for this series. I used to live in Coeur d Alene ID and drove extensively throughout the NW region. I write fiction now and it occurs to me there is a parallel to geology. It is often thought that one issue or event can drive a plot line. But, I am working on my 3rd novel now and I am discovering as I write is that a dramatic change across cultures is often the result of several issues transpiring over decads. That is consistent with the story your lectures paint about geology. My books focus principally on a biblical construct from Romans chapters 9-11 which assert that Jews and Gentiles will be unified before Christ returns. This hasn't happened yet and I use that as an argument against those who typically cite a soon returning Christ and this is almost everyone. My first book "1 Week" opened with a debate pondering the outcome if one of the world trade center towers had survived. Those towers that fell on 911 to me represent Jews and Gentiles and the Bible clearly argues that Gentiles will be blessed provoking Jews to salvation in Christ. I didn't get around to stating this more clearly until my second book "T. Wall," due out this month, that features a team stealing a pair of mothballed Russian made space shuttles. That point being is that God even cares about recovering the copies of that which is lost. The Russian shuttles were copies of our American shuttles. And as I am now beginning my 3rd novel, my character finds himself propelled into scenarios in which Russia might have to be exalted in world affairs to bring about a new wave in which future Americans take God seriously. Thus, I see world cultures rising and falling over time in this age due to several inputs from differing sources. And that tends to mimic what you present in your lectures about the geology of the North West. Interesting! Thanks. I should add, when I write, I never know the ending when I begin. Rather, I always let the ending unfold as I write. Maybe this is why I see a global change occurring over time as characters deal with different issues in their own unique way.

In 1964 our family and maybe 7 or 8 thousand of other families and "Men without Wives" [e.g. batch or She is at home...] took shelter in military Radar buildings that were massive and other places. The tidal wave from Alaska hit Hawaii and did trouble and our island was between 1 and 2 meters above mean water. At high high tide (sun, moon, big planets pulling) we would run water over the island in places. The 2 meter wave was running around 500 to 600 miles an hour and we were rushed. The 70 nMile long atoll might dump the Lagoon water over our island. We were 2400 n mile from Hawaii. Relief would be long in coming if the runway were destroyed. (0.7 mile long) Propeller only. Jets didn't have the range. As luck, it hit us at Low, Low tide as the mass pulling the water and dirt every which way was on the other side of the earth. Radar Ranging shows that the ground and water heave up and down with this massive gravity pull. I believe the Telescope Laser system in Hawaii showed that. Martin #CWUBiology

Virtually all tsunamis produce sand layers so the Orphan Tsunami of 1700 undoubtedly produced its own sand layer. Virtually all tsunamis in Japan were preceded by a strong earthquake felt locally, with the exception of the Orphan Tsunami. That’s why it was called the Orphan Tsunami, the Japanese never felt the earthquake. As an aside, tsunamis can also be caused by asteroid impacts in the ocean. The Cascadia earthquake of 1700 produced a sand layer on the west coast of Washington and Oregon too, iirc. Undoubtedly it produced a smaller sand layer in Japan because the tsunami was probably smaller, on average, in Japan than in the USA.

It sounded like you were saying, as far as the big one goes, that it hasn't been 500 years, so there is nothing to worry about in regards to that for now. My question would then be, if Oregon is half that time, and it's overdue, would that not affect all those same coastal regions, whether it originated there or not? If that is yes, then why give people a false sence of security that live in Washington? Maybe watching indonesia "unzip" would shed some real truth and light onto this subject. Because in reality, it wont matter where it starts to unzip from. It WILL affect WA., it will be devestating, and there will be a sugnificant loss of life. With that being said, sounds like WA, is just as much over due as Oregon, so people should understand that. It won't matter where along the cascadia subduction zone that it cuts loose, it will affect everyone along its path, and probably even clear to I-5 with damage from shaking. Be prepared, Don't be scared. Make sure you have somehting heavy to get underneath, to protect your head from falling lights/plaster / fans etc. Make sure your cupboard doors are secure with a latch of someknd. Be aware of the glass falling and breaking. Especially if the quake happens at night, you don't want to be running through broken glass.

Ok video. I think he is obsessed with the word “toast” and yes the overhyped media. Facts show that the proposed 9.0 will be deadly and the worst disaster is US history. Will every person west of i5 be dead? No. But the public needs to know how serious the problem is and sometimes “worst case scenario “ gets more attention.

I believe the thought is that the plate lock extends all along the Juan de Fuca/North American boundary, paralleling the seacoast for the entire length. In transform faults (like the San Andreas) they lock-in sections, so you get sporadic earthquakes up and down the length, but the evidence seems to that along subduction zones the lengths seem to break all at once.

Question. If the tsunami of 1700 in Cascade kill people in Japan, why did the 2011 Japanese tsunami not kill people in America. The 2011 Japan Tsunami Was Caused By Largest Fault Slip Ever Recorded Clay lubricated the fault zone in the Japan trench, producing the devastating tsunami, researchers say. 3 Minute Read By Jane J. Lee, National Geographic

@geegithsquadtoes67105 жыл бұрын
I think it may have something to do with how (direction/ horizontal or vertical slip) the plates moved during slip. I think the 1700 incident may have moved Vancouver Island north to Alaska westward more than we realize, instead of the 'millions of years' scenarios we have been taught.

I think that one of the obvious answers to this is that by its nature as an "orphan" tsunami, the Japanese people living on the coast of Japan in 1700 were wholly unprepared -- because there was no earthquake preceding the tsunami to warn that them one was coming. You also noticed during the 2011 tsunami, certain areas of the Pacific coastline -- mostly from southern Oregon to Northern CA, were much more impacted by the tsunami than other areas surrounding them -- much of that owing to both the topography of some of the harbors and bays along the coast -- which generally got a more pronounced surge, PLUS the topography of the continental shelf. One of the first things I noticed was that places like Crescent City and Santa Cruz, Brookings Harbor, Catalina Harbor, etc., had transform fracture zones and underwater canyons leading directly _to_ most of these harbors -- which MIGHT have intensified the speed and height of the tsunami waves in these areas. Possibly a "Venturi Effect," like the winds squeezing through the Columbia Gorge -- except that this was billions of tons of displaced water being squeezed up along submarine canyons and along underwater ridges and fractures in the oceanic crust. *_AND:_* We knew the tsunami was coming. I'm no geophysicist, but perhaps someday some brilliant scientist along the lines of Nick Zentner, Melbourne, , Goldfinger, or Atwater can study this and see how close my hypothesis comes to actual theory.

It's because tide doesn't have anything to do with it . Tsunami, the same plural as it's root word, means harbor wave or cove wave, more accurate. The Japanese understand tsunami quite well.
