  • t has been 320 years since the last major earthquake hit the Cascadia subduction zone. The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) wants to help communities along Washington's coast prepare for the next one.
    On Jan. 26, 1700, an earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 9.0 struck the fault, causing the coastline to drop several feet and producing a tsunami that crashed onto land, leaving sand deposits and drowned forests.
    Geological evidence shows these large quakes happen about every 250 years, which means one could happen at any time.
    The DNR wants Washingtonians to be able to visualize what another tsunami could do to the state.
    The department released a series of tsunami simulation videos that show the estimated height and speed of waves that would strike the southwest Washington coast following a magnitude 9.0 earthquake on the Cascadia subduction zone. Geologists at DNR, home to the Washington Geological Survey, produced the simulations using detailed tsunami models.

    The oceanography off the coast of Washington would create a large wave. Possibly 15 to 20 feet tall similar to the waves seen in videos recorded by tourists at Phi Phi Island in Thailand in 2004.

      Dude you look barely old enough to shave, much less be a geologist with a specialty in earthquakes and Tsunamis. It insane how people who barely scraped through high school think they know better than people who’ve dedicated their education and careers to a subject. Lemme guess you register to wear a mask as well and Covid is a hoax in your mind to.
