This video is wrong and is putting people in danger. Cascadia fault will almost certainly create a tsunami that will inundate the near shore areas. The first thing to do is get to high ground.
Yeah Don't understand how this is official. We now know for a fact that even seattle will have over 10 foot waves.
I don't think that Seattle will be impacted by a tsunami. People should watch out for aftershocks though.
The Tsunami will impact the coast, not so much Seattle. Coastal communities will have 15 minutes to get to high ground, and the schools run drills for this. Fling open the doors and run for your lives.
Wave simulations have been done & some inlets & inland areas are far worse than others.
I was thinking the same thing!
You forgot about the tsunami to follow. And the aftershocks.
No. Sorry, but no.
In no disaster scenario do you attempt to meet up with loved one at home. You move to whatever safety zones have been established. And you never linger along the coast after a major quake.
There's no chance in hell the Cascadia quake won't generate an enormous tsunami. Everyone within 10 miles of the beach had better get the fuck out of there the second they get their bearings.
I saw what happened to people who decided to wait it out or look for family after Tohoku in 2011. Trust me when I say to head for high ground and hope your loved ones do the same.
I completely agree, this video is fantasy.
This is specifically for King County which is where Seattle is. The tsunami will reach there but it won't be very high and it will take a couple hours for it to make it to the puget sound.
How is this only 3 monthes old. 6 monthes ago they updated the tsunami risk and now it's even greater even in the further inland areas like Seattle.
0:05 - 2.2M is the population of King County. The Puget Sound region has around 4M.
That going to be a lot of bodies floating around.
This all seems very optimistic...
Or you can prepare by moving to Minnesota...
Thought there were 4M people in the Puget Sound region not 2.2M
Ignoring the potential tsunami, I think this video is a little too optimistic on the community support aspect. After 2 or 3 days of no power or water those neighbors are turning against each other and it’s every family for themselves.
That didn't happen in all of the large quakes in Calif. I like to believe that the people in the Northwest are just as considerate of each other as they are in Calif. People went immediately into emergentcy mode and started helping where they could! I believe that is what would happen here in the Northwest as well! Neighbors here truly care for each other!
@@debrathackerson8624 Data from recent disasters of any kind show that humans are more likely to help their fellow humans after it occurs.
And don't forget the huge population of homeless drug addicts. Life will be a living hell after 2 weeks of no food and no 'fix'. Better report to the new FEMA camp built at the local high school soccer field.
Not likely. The tidal wave would be there in an hour. It wouldn’t be possible to be in the city for weeks because the city would be flooded with ocean water. Many buildings have been washed away by the water.
Or less! I cannot believe they are not including the tsunami in their plans!
Tsunami would be there in less than 30 minutes. They travel over 500mi/hr in big earthquake events.
If a 9.1 generated tsunami can move at 500 mph give or take a hundred or so, and the fault is only 130 miles offshore, it would be there in about 10 minutes.
@jennifergilley1643 A tsunami generated in the ocean travel at speeds up to 500 mph, but in the open ocean. Once the waves get closer to shallow land the waves will slow down and kinetic energy compresses (making the wave heights bigger). The Cascadia tsunami severity will depend on our daily tidal range, and the topography, and weather (low or high pressure systems). Making this event interesting. However, an earthquake in Puget Sound from a reverse fault could generate a tsunami that could reach Seattle's Waterfront in fewer than five minutes.
Three minutes until the tsunami is IN Seattle according to the latest research of the offshore topography.
When that tsunami comes you don’t wait for others. There is a zero chance survivability if you are not on high ground. A 100’ wave of poles, trucks, houses, concrete, etc. When all the dogs start barking you have 10-30 mins to gtfo of dodge.
How can you casually walk to pick up your kid at school?🤔
Whoever made this video is living in an alternate universe.
Well you probably won't be able to casually drive if power poles are down, water mains and sewers have burst and roads have slipped and cracked!
you only have about 30 mins before tsunami strikes, how on earth will the plan work out?
Actually the latest research off the coast with cameras and sonar says 3 minutes until the tsunami hits Seattle...25 to 40 feet of water. Some areas may see double or quadruple that if wave dynamics and underwater topography focuses the energy into bays and harbors. Strange resonances are involved where several waves and reflections of waves bend and blend together creating something related to rogue waves. Japan had massive tsunami barriers. This gave residents a false sense of security and they couldn`t believe it when the sea quickly roared over them and into areas that the "experts" thought were safe. And even though many residents did the right things in other areas and went to tsunami safety structures high above ground level the sea washed them away.
The Seattle metro area is home to over 4 million. Not to mention 2.5 million in the Portland area and 2.6 million in metro Vancouver BC. Anyway, there is no reason to live your life afraid of a natural disaster. If you live in an older home built before the building codes instituted in the mid-90s there are things you can do to make it more resilient to earthquakes. Its also a good idea to have a natural disaster kit in a bag or bags for you and your family with enough food and water to last a week or two. Not to mention having a plan for you and your family to get to a place of safety is you live in a tsunami hazard zone.
To be frank very well could see the same response time as the Indian Ocean earthquake very well could be same effects as well
Thankfully, im on bedrock, not landfill, and high enough in elevation and far enough from ANY waterway that im JUST dealing with the shake. Still, very old foundation so im prepped to camp through a winter. The river valleys and maybe half mile inland of shoreline inside the sound will have some level of tsunami but how much is still being debated. The coastal areas should watch clips from japan 2011 and think about where high ground is, nothing else will matter for them.
Barnby Dow is enjoying this too much. He should have not been so happy looking.
Is there a 1/3 chance on any given day ?
you should assume that it could happen today...hopefully not at 2 a.m in the morning while everyone is sleeping. if you live up there you better prepare yourself...if you survive the quake, you still have to escape the 30-100 foot sea level rise from the ensuing tsunami coming ashore within about 20 minutes
@@mrpoopoohead7668 yes we’ll more realistically realize that, prepare, and move ahead. But my question was actually about the probability on any given day bc I always hear probability reported across decades
@Lemons Limes well I don’t want to assume, depends on how they are estimating probability
No, that's mathematically incompatible with a 1/3rd chance of an earthquake in the next 50 years. Since a major earthquake can only occur zero or one time during a 50-year period, the chance of the earthquake happening on any given day is 1/3 / (50 years * 365 days per year) = 0.00183%, assuming that every day is equally likely.
@@samueldeng2336 thank you
I understand the Settle-Bellevue fault would be even worse for the region.
I’m sorry but the video does not even discuss staying safe as people will loot there will be chaos
WTF?! You run! run to higher ground. who are these people? obvisouly just actors. its nice to have to have plan, but its not going to be hunky dorey like they say. stay safe people.
Not realistic to ignore the tsunami risk! People will help their neighbors or steal what they have! Not exactly the Kumbaya moment they have painted!
Needs updated facts
I would first check if my xman cards are ok
I expect the homeless druggies to survive with flying colors.
They won't be killed by collapsing tents.
They will loot everything.
Someone is paying attention! Hell the druggies already own/run the place now. I got out 20 years ago, but understand it has gotten really bad since then.
Do NOT waste time gathering at your home. Everyone should immediately seek higher ground, and remain there for several hours. Tsunami estimates now show influx into these areas.
Only if you live near the sea. I am a Geology major, let me know if you have questions, I am happy to help.
@@HJWhitehall do you know when its going to hit us because theyve been saying 50 years for a while now
No word about the almost certain tsunami, and the quake related advice seems only be good for a lower magnitude earthquake, not at all for the expected above 8 magnitude. This starry-eyed advice is dangerously misleading.
Simple, but valid advice, when the quake is the big one, and you live at a high tsunami risk elevation:
1. Get your emergency kits, and run. Turning off the gas in such an event is NOT a priority if it takes time. Saving your lives is: absolutely no fumbling around or checking on the house or such nonsense please. Every minute counts. Waiting around for others to arrive is a sure way to get you killed. That includes applying first aid.
2. Haul your a**es as quickly as possible to higher ground, stay away from buildings, bridges, poles and trees if possible.
3. Keep moving, make your way away from the coast, canals and rivers to ever higher elevation in the shortest amount of time.
4. Communicate effectively with and instruct your loved ones while on the move. Don't go home, go towards a higher elevation safe zone. Don't stop. Don't stop escaping. Keep running.
5. Only assist/help others when you are very confident in achieving above points and your survival, or, if your (family's) survival necessitates such cooperation. Don't throw away your lives for a misguided want to help and heroism. Make sure your priorities are in the right order.
If your municipality doesn't provide designated tsunami escape routes and shelters (is there actually anyone that does?), make sure you prepare yourself and your family for such a case in advance, i.e. check out possible escape routes towards higher elevation and/or newly build (after 1995), publicly accessible, sturdy concrete high rise buildings in your neighborhood if you are otherwise unable to get yourself to higher elevation within 10-15 minutes after the quake to shelter from a possible tsunami. Take into consideration that you are most likely not able to use vehicles but your feet for escaping.
Don’t plan for ten days y’all mre 14 day supply augason sixty bucks best money spent breakfast lunch pale and lunch and dinner pale plan for three weeks or more of no help
Negative. Right from the start, this video is wrong.
You do not all meet up back at your home. There's a good chance you'll be caught in the tsunami if you do.
The first, the only thing you do is run not walk to high ground. Forget about home, forget about pets.
Meet up with the family after you've become refugees.
John no way forget about pets. They are part of our families. You obviously don't have pets and you shouldn't.
@@debrajean743
I should have first said forget about trying to have a pet, if you live in one of those areas.
You'll die if you go back to search your neighborhood to find your cat, or even to get home if it's inside.
Roads will be choked. You might not even get back into the city to your home before you get trapped.
Don't even go back for -_your children_-!
Teach them to forget everything but running to high ground during a big quake or when tsunami sirens go off.
Watching videos of the Japan tsunami, the first thing I thought about, instead of people still down there, was everyone who survived, but lost their pets.
Don't keep a pet or anything precious, if you live in such an area.
Or be prepared to live on, after losing it.
This video tells of a man who tried going back in to find his wife, Never made it home and barely survived, spent the night in a tree, only to find that she was high and dry at a good evacuation point.
Japan now teaches to drop everything and run to high ground, and find your family after. Do _NOT_ go back home first.

@Lemons Limes
And if you're across town at work and the pets at home when the quake hits?
Trust that the roads will be good for you to get into town, collect the pet and make it out before the incoming water makes movement impossible?
Earthquakes are associated with the sun-earth magnetosphere that is becoming increasingly activated as part of the effects of the 12, 000-year micronova cycle that is now beginning, as noted by north and south magnetic poles on the move toward Sumatra and Java which will become the new Arctic Circle. 12,500-years ago 8/10 of species populations became extinct as the result of the Gothenberg event. The effect was greatest in the Americas, but This will effect greater damage in Eurasia. this time. Volcanoes and a world-wide flood will also accompany this current cataclysm. Humanity has survived at ;east 7 of these events, so we are survivors, if we are ready and prepared, My book, Quantum Knowing: A Train Is on the Tracks covering this in greater detail is available to help.
