These are one of those things where you can only prepare so much. I don’t let these things worry me. I concern myself with items I have control over. Enjoy your life, each day is special.
But...but... you're SUPPOSED to freak out, run around bawling like a baby as you scream at people sipping beverage through a plastic straw! Accuse SUV drivers of destroying the planet while ignoring all the CRAP you've purchased on Amazon, like the 250 pairs of Nike shoes in your 'collection' and giggling in anticipation of the 395th Stanley water bottle that should be arriving at your doorstep this afternoon. (By you I mean all the hypocrites who fly to Climate Change summits, or back and forth nearly every week from L.A. to New York, or pump 400,000 gallons of 'fossil' fuel into their yacht for a weekend cruise while simultaneously condemning everyone else for destroying the planet.)
This video was particularly well done. Congrats. One piece of advice for those of us living in earthquake country: Put a pair of old shoes under your bed. If the EQ happens overnight, slip 'em on before you exit your bed. The most common injury after an EQ is cut feet!
Having been in the Northridge Quake (around a 7), there are a few things I can share about getting through the experience - The shaking lasts a long time and it's very hard to stay standing. If you're going to stand in a doorway, watch for the swinging door that can either hit you or crush your fingers. There will be an aftershock almost as strong a few minutes later. Every car alarm in the city goes off, adding to the pandemonium. Your pets might get out and be panicked for many hours. They'll eventually return, but it's another stress. Cell towers will be damaged and you might not be able to make any calls or receive any updates. I remember people relying on their car radios for news updates. It's a good idea to have an agreed upon meeting area with your family in advance in case you need to evacuate but there's no way to reach loved ones. Have a stash of small bills on hand to prepare for this quake. Every ATM was closed, no supermarket had power to process cards or electronic payment. Bottled Water will go fast and they'll ration it out. Speaking of which, your sewage lines might break, making it impossible to use the toilet. If you use natural gas, determine in advance where your shutoff valve is outside. Do NOT light any candles until you turn off your gas. There will be many fires raging in the city. All the streets are littered with glass, none of the traffic lights work. It took a year for the 10 freeway to be fully repaired. The traffic was horrific until it was fixed. Gas stations will be closed until the pumps and lines are checked and the power is restored. There's also an emotional toll, lots of people got severely depressed and got PTSD. A TON of buildings and homes will be condemned and made unlivable. You might have to move out immediately, but the demand for Uhauls will delay you by many days, meanwhile your building might be off limits or too damaged to safely enter. Hopefully, the Cascadia won't happen in the winter since it will make everything even more miserable. Anyway, have a nice day!
Even I live in a country fairly stable from volcanoes and earthquakes, I appreciate you taking time to write down details for those who need them. Just wanna say thank you just in case no one does.
That was a scary one. I was in Fullerton and had my cat in one arm and my computer monitor in the other. I hate when they happen at night. Landers was just as bad but further away.
earthquakes are the plot by the government for more control, don't fall for the trap, all of the outcomes are planned and predetermined, they are watching my every step
I’m in Santa Monica California but have lived in San Francisco, Sacramento, and Spokane Washington. I have friends in Seattle, Tacoma, Bainbridge Island and Port Angeles Washington! I pray they will not experience a M9.0 or above. I’ve been through 6.9 in San Francisco during the A’s-Giants World Series baseball ⚾️ game in 89 and felt Northridge in 94 as the Santa Monica Freeway was down for months!!! I have family in Anchorage Alaska and my dad was stationed in the Air Force there in 1964 M9.2 temblor. My heart ❤️ goes out to all of us on the West Coast!
Solomon, besides the valid supplies to stockpile that you mentioned - having gone through the CERT (Community Emergency Response Teams training) twice (once in California and again in Las Vegas, where I now live) AND having just signed up to take this training again starting October 1, 2024. it is one of the best ways to train and prepare oneself for any emergency, including of course earthquakes. The training is offered through Fire Departments, is FREE (supported by FEMA) and at the conclusion of the training - graduates receive a backpack full of emergency supplies and a hard hat. I cannot reccomend this training highly enough!!!!!
An excellent portrayal of the seismic risk. I concur that the casualties, both deaths and injured, as described by FEMA and other government agencies is far to optimistic. In my opinion, a full rip of the Cascadia fault would see a minimum of 60,000 to 100,000 casualties at the end of 4 weeks. A significant number of the injured will not be able to obtain the necessary medical assistance in a timely manner which will increase the fatality numbers. Your hypothetical example has been narrated in other presentations. What isn't mentioned in all the discussions of the subject that I have seen thus far is the numerous after shocks having various intensities. What was weakened during the main event will now have a greater possibility of collapsing. Now imagine a deep, long cold spell coming out of Canada when that occurs; or a cold wet spell. Whom am I - A Building Inspector of 28 years in the PNW and a Structural engineering Technologist. My experience includes 50 story high rises, etc. The lack of honest clarity by the "Authorities" deeply disturbs me.
@@hosmerhomeboy Thank you for the response and you are so right in your assessment. Lets pretend that he 9.2 did occur in the summer time. The refugees fleeing the worst hit areas of the Lower Mainland will have little choice but to head south or east. All the easterly highways converge on the City of Hope which is located in a valley surrounded by steep uplifted, fractured rock. Most likely that community will not be passable; think of the Hope Slide. Heading north could also be equally daunting. Heading south into the State of Washington will be be of little respite if you were actually able to get below the Border, 49th parallel. Maybe the sea? For the above reasons is why I personally call that are "The Bermuda Triangle of the Pacific Northwest". My numbers were only the starting point. There was a study that indicated somewhere around 80% of the cut/sliced skin injuries will be from broken glass.
Native Washingtonian here, so have the Washington facts. The Space Needle was built to withstand a 10.0 quake. We have quakes all the time. We have worked hard with Japan to create quake-proof and tsunami technologies. NOAA has tsunami boueys out at sea to monitor. We have shock-disk technologies, and have implemented them. I-5 has quake technology. We had the Nesquali quake, over 6.0, and had one old road collapse that was not fitted, but only a few bricks fell. No injuries or casualties. You can see the quake-proof tech on buildings. So, a quake of 3.0 smaller than he is stating did almost zip anywhere. So he isn't up on our technologies. We have been prepared for decades upon decades. We were fine.
Japan was prepared for earthquakes and tsunamis, and look how devastating their big one was. "Optimistic?" With how ill prepared they are on the pacific coast? "Optimistic" is putting it lightly
Gotta say thanks for the exact info I wanted- how recent last Cascadia, rather than endless exploitation of peoples fears. Frankly, I thought it was hundreds of thousands to millions of years since last Cascadia, so I was totally calling BS.
I live here in Portland and there have been swarms of earthquake activity up & down the Juan de Fuca plate the last couple of days. It actually IS Friday, late afternoon. And it IS very hot & traffic IS crazy right now. Everyone actually IS getting off work now & heading for the coast to cool off this weekend! Your proposed hypothetical scenario is just a little TOO accurate & timely for me...
It's time to repent and get right with Jesus. No one is promised tomorrow. ABC's of Salvation: To be safe for all eternity: A: Admit that you are a sinner, who violates the Will of God, and that you need a Saviour. Repent. Turn away from your sin and toward Jesus. (Matthew 4:17; Romans 2:4, 3:10, 6:23; Acts 3:19) B: Believe that Jesus Christ, Son of God & Messiah, died for your sins and rose again, and that He will come again, as prophesied and recorded in the Word of God. Trust in His finished work on the cross. (Romans 10:9-10; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Ephesians 2:8-9) C: Call on His name, ask Him to save you, and confess that He is Lord. (Romans 10:9-10, 10:13, 14:10-11; Philippians 2:10)
I live on the peninsula so I watch my earthquake app every day. Just offshore from Vancouver Island there have been just over 30 quakes in the past 30 hours or so. Also, Puget Sound is having an earthquake swarm right now. The offshore quakes have included many above magnitude 4 up to magnitude 4.8. Any of them could initiate a large rupture. Thanks for the video, Be safe and well
@@kingme79 I've been watching earthquake lists for about 24 years but don't remember ever seeing so many quakes in that particular spot in that short of time span, especially above a 4.0 and greater. We do get an earthquake swarm every 14 months predictably though.
Swarms are not necessarily a precursor to a large earthquake. Many times small quakes are just pressure release and help to stop a big one from happening. Either way there’s no way to all you can do is try to be prepared. I live in the Pacific Northwest from California. I have lived through many earthquakes.
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 live on the central Oregon coast and one thing they teach us is how long you'll have to evacuate. Because the expectation is that the earthquake epicenter will be on the southern end of the coast, that gives us approximately 23 minutes. It's closer to 15 for those close to the epicenter. But the tsunami isn't the only threat. Many bridges in Oregon were built before it was known this was an earthquake zone and are not up to code, meaning many will be cut off from these platforms or high ground. Landslides and liquifaction is also a risk since much of the area is built on wetlands.
In all honesty, being prepared for it is all you really can do. Make sure you have supplies and clean water and a plan to get to higher ground if you are anywhere near the coast. The quote that always reverberates in my mind is "everything west of Interstate 5 will be toast". Once the shaking starts you'll have less than 20 minutes before the first Tsunami waves start coming ashore and it will be 20 minutes of absolute chaos for everyone. Be prepared, better safe than sorry.
@@andrewkelley3434 agreed. It’s going to be worse than most people realize. Natural gas lines breaking and downed power lines alone will create more fires than any city can take care of. Those will spread and consume anything in their path. I have 2 years of food and water for my family and people make fun of me but I’ve spent more money on dumber items in my life lol. I pray everyone around me realizes it’s going to be more than a “shake” and it’s not just drywall joints that will be damaged. That would be a best case scenario
@@joshsmith3650I’m in the Snoqualmie Valley. I was told by Bonneville that the big power lines near my property would tip over in a 9 and electrocute my horse. A geologist told me the whole valley would drop 500 feet into the aquifer. At least the tsunami would be a ways away. The new activity on the Cascadia has me nervous.
@@sherirottweilersforever7772 I try not to think about it but I am always prepared. It’s silly how many people have had life so good here, don’t understand what that kind of tragedy will be like. It will happen someday, it’s guaranteed. Just hope it’s a few partial ruptures and not a full cascadia earthquake
@@joshsmith3650 most people around here don’t even have extra food even though they are not poor. They think I’m crazy when I mention being prepared for SHTF scenarios. I hope it doesn’t happen any time soon.
I used to live in Copalis 76-77. My friend and I used to canoe the Copalis river frequently. We often wondered what killed those huge trees. We had no idea, otherwise I would not have lived on the beach!
Great vid. I had heard about the Big One growing up in California and it devastating the PNW. I'm working in Portland and I'm only here for one more year and then head back home. Hopefully escaping this massive quake before it hits. Now I grew up in SoCal so I've been in a few, but a 9.3 would change all of the west coast for hundreds of years to come. Let's hope we're more prepared when it does strike.
I first learned about the Cascadia fault in the late 80s the Army Corps of Engineers was studying it. Rows and rows 12 ft high lined the hallways taped to the wall showing the movement of over 1000 miles of coastline. No one else seemed to know. When Loma Prieta hit I was in that as a first responder and diver with the Army. I thought the Cascadia would blow then. Now it’s any second it can hit.
Thank you for this informative and well made video. I live in Bellingham Washington and i think about this potential event sometimes, but more often this past few years since i work right on the water and live less than 1/2 mile away from work. I feel pretty confident that when the quake happens, if im at work, my entire boatyard will fall into the bay. However, if i am able to avoid falling into the bay (🤞), i feel ok about being able to avoid being crushed by any buildings or fallen trees. After the initial shockwave, i could drive home in 1-5 minutes, depending on which route i take. There are pretty much only 4 ways i could go home, but only 2 of them dont go under or over any bridges. If i was on foot i could literally run straight up the street from work and be home almost as fast as driving. If the 6-plex i live in is still standing after i get there, i have other vehicles and a decent amount of supplies there, but i would still need to get the f*ck away from the water. Im constantly trying to figure out where else in the area i should be staging emergency supplies for the minutes/days/weeks following this terrible event. Does anybody know where i could find information about the expected trajectory of the tsunami in my area, and how far east of bellingham could be expected to be safe from it?
Nice job on your video and very informative as well. Appreciate the use of historical records and presenting this important material in a sound way with no hysterics that is so often injected into this type of public awareness messages. I lived in California (for work) and was in Big Bear when we had a 6.5 in 1992 and was very near the epicenter. Now we live north of Spokane so I very much appreciate your presentation. Keep up the good work!!!
Excellent job. Unquestionably the best I've seen regarding Cascadia for numerous reasons. I'm well inland, just outside of Napavine so I'll miss the tsunami, but Cascadia still scares the hell out of me due mostly to the aftermath.
This is an excellent, erudite summary explanation of the reason for and damage by a 9.2 earthquake in Cascadia of the Pacific Northwest of America. Bravo Solomon! Being a geologist, I enjoyed it even though people I love live there. But I live in hurricane ally on the opposite side of the country, so I can't criticize. In America, you can choose your disaster. Almost every location has something.
I moved to Portland in Feb to be with an SO. I’m in love with him but regretting living here based on volcanic/earthquake activity. I’m incredibly nervous…
I have to say, I’ve read and watched just about anything to do with our geology in the PNW. Very fascinating. However, I am seriously impressed at your compilation of information and delivery. Beautiful work on this video. I’m hooked. Now subscribed. Thank you!
This was an interesting video. I have been watching many videos about the expected quake to understand what it means to my own survival. This one shared more information in an easy-to-understand way. What the quake will do to our infrastructure, especially everything underground like water, sewage, gas, power, is beyond my ability to prep for. I live in a basement room in a house with septic sewage and gas lines close enough to explode and kill me. We have old trees that will fall when that size of quake hits... also so large and near that death is the only possible outcome. Alot depends on what time of year this thing hits. I grew up in California, and have gone through some quakes there. Over five minutes of shaking is a frightening thought. Survival that will last for months and years leads to a lot of issues... banks, food, money, transportation, safety, communication, violence, danger, cleanliness, medical care, and everything else. And this is not the only danger we face right now.
Looks like a few people making comments have never taken a basic geology class and don't know about seismographs. The plates are real and have been mapped. If liquifaction occurs, no escape.
Great info! I watch everything about Cascadia and your video is among the best! On my way to work one day (from Bonney Lake to Burien) I realized the roads I was on were either Volcano, Tsunami, and/or Earthquake evacuation routes. I was offered a job and moved back to Kansas City in 2012.
Yea! So we decided to move to the high desert where it’s 116F+ for weeks on end with zero rain at 1200’. If we can survive here, we can survive just about anywhere. The northern tip of the Sonoran Desert is a very curious landscape. From Scottsdale to Sedona the geology indicates a massive flood over the Mogollon Rim and through present day Phoenix, depositing gravel beds and sand way into Mexico.
@@jrlagoni large gravel beds in NE Phoenix, next to the foothills along Az87, industrial gravel pit mining. Rounded gravel. Water does that. My degree in Water Resources Mgnt., and a stint working for Md.Dept.Nat.Res., Surface Water Services not good enough? Water still flow downhill since 1976, right?
That adds more evidence for the alternative theory for the creation of the Grand Canyon. Massive Outpouring of water from the Colorado plateau similar to that of the Scablands in Eastern Washington State.@@StillRunningWithPointedSticks
I'm very familiar with all the relevant research and available information about Cascadia, i must say your excellent commentary and video production is top notch. Absolutely brilliant acknowledgment of vital proportional information. Thanks for this. A huge public announcement. 🌿🇺🇲🌿🇺🇲🚨🚨🚨🚨
Have you read that document that came out (more like book) in 2016? It breaks down what it would look like when the big one hits, the collapse of infrastructure, where most casualties will be, how far up the tsunami could go. I work for the State and they sent it in an email for fun, I think. I read the whole thing and have been obsessed (and educating others) since. Can't wait to watch your volcanoes episode! I can see Baker from my back yard.
Lakes will have seiches. Any body of water touching the Pacific will be affected. 100-200' tsunami is possible, though inland will see the water drain out after the earthquake. That will be your notice to head for the highest spot you can reach.
Interesting timing for this video. There is a channel out there that has been predicting for weeks now an historic earthquake in the upper Cascade area to occur likely around July 7 timeline
@@mercurysunlight5689 The PNW is due for a 9+ within the next 50 years. Plus, we have Mt. Rainier. My favorite towns were in high risk areas, so we lived a mile or two east of i5 without getting too close to the Volcano. 😂 P.S. I also moved.
I live for the Cascadia subduction. I am ready. I learned about this in 1st grade, that was a long time ago. All I can say about it is I have got to see this. Ready!
@@katiedid1851 Wasn't that the one that the freeway deck collapsed and trapped a bunch of people? I know that here is not all covered with cement and liquifaction is a real thing. The make up of the land is different. We have bad landslides in areas sometimes just because of heavy rain. Its a curiousity for sure. We have dams and water to consider. Whatever it looks like, I just have to see it. Kinda like old Harry Truman had to stay at Mt. St. Helens. If it kills me then that was what was meant to be. I am glad you got through SoCal ok. A lot of people didn't. 1964 Ankorage Alaska was a 9 and it did mega damage.
Born & raised Pierce County here. Age 40. Just moved to Tahuya (Mason County- Kitsap Peninsula). Still livin' in that danger zone 🙃🥴 I do have the earthquake app on my phone, and was here for ALL the quakes growing up. Held the wall in aerobics class during the Nisqually quake. 😬🤪
Enjoying Seattle Washington we are from the Midwest Hope area stays safe we need Our Heavenly Father's and Jesus's Protection and Love 💘 Peace to All Stay Safe 🙏❤
Stop it. Stop trying to convert people who left Christianity. They left for a reason. Actually, multiple reasons. And besides, this isn't the place to convert people.
@@DebbyLong777 Amen! This is the place to share the gospel, alright. Most don't want to hear it because they've been well trained by the god of this present evil world.
@@a-sane-person Christianity is a mess because they've gotten away from the Holy Bible. It's no surprise that people leave churchianity more than ever, these days. They should get away from it and read their Bible instead. "But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." (2 Corinthians 4:3-4, KJB). There's a big difference between religion and what the book of the LORD says.
I noticed he didn't mention the dams on the Columbia. They would likely prevent the Tsunami reaching Lewiston. Also, lahars. I would expect those would come down the rivers too and that's not counting any volcanism that could light off. Especially Ranier.
I grew up in Oregon and Washington and watched Mt. St. Helen’s erupt in May 18 from my grandparents house in Battleground. They have been talking about The Big One from this fault line since then. There is more than enough that proves when this fault line snaps the coast lines from Northern California to British Colombia will be wiped off the map..guaranteed. The ancient indians all along the coast lines spoke of a great wave that struck the coast lines many centuries ago. It happened before it’ll happen again.
Yet the coastlines are still there, go figure. You badly need to look at the tsunami maps that have been prepared for the coast to see what will happen along the coast.
@@donadams8345 Yes, there will always be a coastline. What is your point? cover guy's point, that you missed, was that the existing coastlines including all the infrastructure and human and animal life will be obliterated. Arguing minutia about what he wrote does not change the situation, sorry.
@@treasuretrovel3816 There is a good reason I don't live along the Pacific coast, it could have a rather large earthquake. That's how I prepared for the quake.
I believe this video!! A9.3 mega quake would be truly devastating to us 13million folks whom live in the Pacific N.W. everything that 15 times bigger along with structures added to our state and communities, I think is going to be a dam of everything from trees to " you name it!!!" Will be a mountain of buildings,trees,etc,etc... it's a scary thought,but we are way past due for a major quake of unprecedented force!!!! And with this 90s to 100° weather lately;"well.....that is earth quake weather!! I was sitting out on my patio the other night,and I actually felt a slight tremor,and another one on the 6th of this month of which woke me up!! They both were only a few seconds long but,I felt them all the same....Yellowstone? It's also heating up......heads up and hopefully we all survive the next one!! God bless to all!! And to all may God be us!!❤❤❤❤
Nice informative video, and enough variety in the visuals to keep it interesting. We are a retiring couple in our mid 60's and leaving the southwest to retire in the eastern Portland area next spring. At this age we will take our chances as living in one of the most beautiful places in the world is worth the downside. When we do relocate we will learn about and take all the planned precautions to avoid the worst case scenario. Thanks!
No one knows the date this will happen, people need to stop date setting all the time, its ridiculous. Repent and pray to be counted worthy to escape all these things that are coming. 🙏📖🕯
Grew up in Washington State. Experienced at least 4 quakes in my life and have come to the conclusion that if you panic you will die. Not being cavalier but realizing that the more understanding a person can get on this subject the more likely that person can make logical decisions. I lived in Lake Hills ( Bellevue,WA) and learned about the Seattle fault line at about the age of 6.
Meanwhile I just realized I have anouther hurricane called "Milton" doing the classic football stomp before it rams the coast here in FL. Crap... LOL :-) Great video BTW
I have seen many bits on this and they are all the same. I have seen credible forecasts which go as high as 9.8. Few people address the vertical acceleration. Another neglected topic is the effect on poor or weak infrastructure inland. What bridge or dam or toxic waste pond, or taillings pile or cliff face over a highway is going to collapse, fail, give way, slide and fall down 100, 200, 300 or even more miles inland. I bet there is LOTS much of which will hamper rescue efforts re: resources and transportation. Do a show on that. Cheers!
Thank you, Sir, for the info regarding Cascadia. Am concerned since I have family members living or residing on the Pacific coast. Am praying 🙏 to God that it won't happen 🙏 . God bless 😇 us all, and God bless 😇 you and your family.
Ya know there is so much gloom and doom, it’s no wonder I am depressed, have anxiety issues and trouble sleeping? GOD how a bout some good news! I get it we’re all screwed but I don’t need this every waking minute!!!!!😂
My mom, a native Oregonian, never said anything about Oregon’s earthquake history while I was growing up in the San Francisco area. I remember the Daley City Earthquake of 1957 but it was just a 5.7. I was used to the “shakers” of the Bay Area but was surprised by the “roller” I felt in Portland, Oregon in @1991. Since then, I’ve been hearing about the “Big One” in the Pacific Northwest. I was concerned and still am, although I try not to get too freaked out about it anymore. I have attached my house (built in 1921) to the foundation and have different items on hand for power failure, etc. I have likened it to being ready for an ice storm, heat wave, etc. I know how to shut off my gas and water, in an emergency. I have candles, matches, batteries, stored water, etc. I just hope I’m not stuck on the Marqum bridge when it hits!
The 2015 Cascadia Megaquake Report was originally written for the LA Basin. Managers have misled the Public into thinking the remote Pacific NW has the next US West Coast Megaquake; not panicking 40 million Californians into fleeing their State. "Everything destroyed between the Pacific Ocean and I-5" can't happen to Seattle nor Portland, for the coastal mountains in WA and OR.
I moved from Texas over a decade ago and initially lived on the Kitsap peninsula, then a couple of years ago moved to Montesano. I'm thinking it might be time to move back to Texas. I'm familiar with hurricanes, tornados, flash flooding and godawful heat and humidity, but this earthquake stuff is very unsettling.
@@Azazel2024 The Cascade Range is too high for waves to get overtop. The tsunami would have to be thousands of feet high. But water will fill up the Columbia and cause flooding in all the surrounding cities.
My best suggestion for electricity, if your home can survive this, is a giant propane tank and a generator that can use it and plenty of extra oil and sparkplugs for it. You can also charge large batteries when you use it to get the most out of it. A 12v 300ah LiFeP04 battery can run a freezer or small fridge for a very long time to save on fuel.
I’m tired of kilometers. I was raised to think in miles. It doesn’t translate for me. Oh, well I’ll be dead soon and the metric system will live on. But it’s still difficult to change your sense of distance and speed when you grew up on something else.
A kilometer is just over a half mile. If distance or speed is expressed in kms just divide the number by 2. If it's in miles and you want kms, multiply by 2. So, 60 km is about 30 miles. For every 10 kms add 1 mile (or fraction of) to your total if you want it more accurate, so that's 36 miles (actually 36.15.)
Excellent video. I was going to comment that there has been a seismic retrofit going on for a few years, although not with the urgency that has happened in Southern California [for obvious reasons] but you beat me to it. EVERYONE should have a bug-out bag packed and readily accessible at all times. One carry-on sized bag that has a week's worth of basic clothes that will cover conditions regardless of the time of year [have a pair of sturdy shoes or hiking boots quick-clipped to the outside of the bag. You may have to evacuate in the middle of the night]. If you take medication, have a separate [highly water repellent] bag for those medications you need. You should have a 90-day supply and rotate them regularly [most doctors will write the extra prescription if you explain it, but you will have to pay CASH. Fill the first extra from a completely different pharmacy]. When you get your new 90-day prescription, put it in your Rx go-bag and retrieve the one that has been in the go-bag for use. Your 'medicine bag' should also have a selection of first-aid supplies [including a QUALITY pocket-sized book on basic first-aid]. You should also have a small but rugged backpack containing freeze-dried food, cooking and eating utensils, and a method for cooking that food. Water purification tablets or a purification filter are good ideas. A two-qt. canteen is a good idea. Just remember you will probably have to carry ALL of this stuff on your person, perhaps for MILES. DON'T OVERPACK! Once you have your complete bug-out kit assembled, take it ALL on a hike [one mile would be best, half-mile would be instructive]. Don't forget a good hat that will shade your head and neck, and shed water. A good walking stick is also helpful. A few bandanas and a quality knife are also good ideas [you don't need a Rambo knife, just a good 4-5" hunting style knife, although a quality folder is fine for a low profile]. Don't forget to grab your wallet when you leave [which should have at least a couple hundred dollars in it. Cash is king].
It is far, far more useful to go look at the government information about the subject and prepare with real information and not second hand information from someone who is not an expert and wants to get as many clicks as possible.
Plate tectonics (from Latin tectonicus, from Ancient Greek τεκτονικός (tektonikós) 'pertaining to building')[1] is the scientific THEORY that Earth's lithosphere comprises a number of large tectonic plates, which have been slowly moving
I love that you don’t have music. The stuff is so interesting it doesn’t need music. Thanks for the video. Very well done.
Yes! Thanx for not having a distracting, manipulative music track; this coming from a still very active musician for 60 years!

This video was particularly well done. Congrats. One piece of advice for those of us living in earthquake country: Put a pair of old shoes under your bed. If the EQ happens overnight, slip 'em on before you exit your bed. The most common injury after an EQ is cut feet!
probably the best advice I've ever seen regarding this crappy town or in general. Feet are your ride
I am "STUCK" now after a stroke on Aug 6th, 2023... 😢
Best to have a Go Bag with all your needs and a change of clothes ready to grab and go.
Better yet Pray to God for His Holy Armour of Protection.🙏
@@Azazel2024what crappy town? All our cities are great?
@@20greeneyes20gdammit, leave religion out of natural disasters.
Having been in the Northridge Quake (around a 7), there are a few things I can share about getting through the experience - The shaking lasts a long time and it's very hard to stay standing. If you're going to stand in a doorway, watch for the swinging door that can either hit you or crush your fingers. There will be an aftershock almost as strong a few minutes later. Every car alarm in the city goes off, adding to the pandemonium. Your pets might get out and be panicked for many hours. They'll eventually return, but it's another stress. Cell towers will be damaged and you might not be able to make any calls or receive any updates. I remember people relying on their car radios for news updates. It's a good idea to have an agreed upon meeting area with your family in advance in case you need to evacuate but there's no way to reach loved ones.
Have a stash of small bills on hand to prepare for this quake. Every ATM was closed, no supermarket had power to process cards or electronic payment. Bottled Water will go fast and they'll ration it out. Speaking of which, your sewage lines might break, making it impossible to use the toilet. If you use natural gas, determine in advance where your shutoff valve is outside. Do NOT light any candles until you turn off your gas. There will be many fires raging in the city.
All the streets are littered with glass, none of the traffic lights work. It took a year for the 10 freeway to be fully repaired. The traffic was horrific until it was fixed. Gas stations will be closed until the pumps and lines are checked and the power is restored. There's also an emotional toll, lots of people got severely depressed and got PTSD. A TON of buildings and homes will be condemned and made unlivable. You might have to move out immediately, but the demand for Uhauls will delay you by many days, meanwhile your building might be off limits or too damaged to safely enter. Hopefully, the Cascadia won't happen in the winter since it will make everything even more miserable. Anyway, have a nice day!
I went through it too.
Even I live in a country fairly stable from volcanoes and earthquakes, I appreciate you taking time to write down details for those who need them. Just wanna say thank you just in case no one does.
Great advice..
That was a scary one. I was in Fullerton and had my cat in one arm and my computer monitor in the other. I hate when they happen at night. Landers was just as bad but further away.
earthquakes are the plot by the government for more control, don't fall for the trap, all of the outcomes are planned and predetermined, they are watching my every step
I’m in Santa Monica California but have lived in San Francisco, Sacramento, and Spokane Washington. I have friends in Seattle, Tacoma, Bainbridge Island and Port Angeles Washington! I pray they will not experience a M9.0 or above. I’ve been through 6.9 in San Francisco during the A’s-Giants World Series baseball ⚾️ game in 89 and felt Northridge in 94 as the Santa Monica Freeway was down for months!!! I have family in Anchorage Alaska and my dad was stationed in the Air Force there in 1964 M9.2 temblor. My heart ❤️ goes out to all of us on the West Coast!
Hello, fellow experiencer of the 1989 World Series quake. It was bad enough that the Embarcadero Expressway had to be torn down.
@@harrietharlow9929..after huge portions collapsed!
@@bradlyscotunes9156 Did I state otherwise?
Solomon, besides the valid supplies to stockpile that you mentioned - having gone through the CERT (Community Emergency Response Teams training) twice (once in California and again in Las Vegas, where I now live) AND having just signed up to take this training again starting October 1, 2024. it is one of the best ways to train and prepare oneself for any emergency, including of course earthquakes. The training is offered through Fire Departments, is FREE (supported by FEMA) and at the conclusion of the training - graduates receive a backpack full of emergency supplies and a hard hat. I cannot reccomend this training highly enough!!!!!
An excellent portrayal of the seismic risk. I concur that the casualties, both deaths and injured, as described by FEMA and other government agencies is far to optimistic. In my opinion, a full rip of the Cascadia fault would see a minimum of 60,000 to 100,000 casualties at the end of 4 weeks. A significant number of the injured will not be able to obtain the necessary medical assistance in a timely manner which will increase the fatality numbers. Your hypothetical example has been narrated in other presentations. What isn't mentioned in all the discussions of the subject that I have seen thus far is the numerous after shocks having various intensities. What was weakened during the main event will now have a greater possibility of collapsing. Now imagine a deep, long cold spell coming out of Canada when that occurs; or a cold wet spell. Whom am I - A Building Inspector of 28 years in the PNW and a Structural engineering Technologist. My experience includes 50 story high rises, etc. The lack of honest clarity by the "Authorities" deeply disturbs me.
They have no idea what they're facing
@@hosmerhomeboy Thank you for the response and you are so right in your assessment. Lets pretend that he 9.2 did occur in the summer time. The refugees fleeing the worst hit areas of the Lower Mainland will have little choice but to head south or east. All the easterly highways converge on the City of Hope which is located in a valley surrounded by steep uplifted, fractured rock. Most likely that community will not be passable; think of the Hope Slide. Heading north could also be equally daunting. Heading south into the State of Washington will be be of little respite if you were actually able to get below the Border, 49th parallel. Maybe the sea? For the above reasons is why I personally call that are "The Bermuda Triangle of the Pacific Northwest". My numbers were only the starting point. There was a study that indicated somewhere around 80% of the cut/sliced skin injuries will be from broken glass.
I personally have taken significant measures to endure the event well and hope to be of value to the area and its population should I be called upon.
Native Washingtonian here, so have the Washington facts. The Space Needle was built to withstand a 10.0 quake. We have quakes all the time. We have worked hard with Japan to create quake-proof and tsunami technologies. NOAA has tsunami boueys out at sea to monitor. We have shock-disk technologies, and have implemented them. I-5 has quake technology. We had the Nesquali quake, over 6.0, and had one old road collapse that was not fitted, but only a few bricks fell. No injuries or casualties. You can see the quake-proof tech on buildings. So, a quake of 3.0 smaller than he is stating did almost zip anywhere. So he isn't up on our technologies. We have been prepared for decades upon decades. We were fine.
Japan was prepared for earthquakes and tsunamis, and look how devastating their big one was. "Optimistic?" With how ill prepared they are on the pacific coast? "Optimistic" is putting it lightly
Yamaguchi's tree ring research at the ghost forest confirmed the January 1700 Japanese Tsunami origin as Cascadia.
You can see it up and down the coast with your own eyes
@@carriesilveria-kirby9155 yes but they had to scientifically prove and confirm it too..
That’s amazing!
Gotta say thanks for the exact info I wanted- how recent last Cascadia, rather than endless exploitation of peoples fears. Frankly, I thought it was hundreds of thousands to millions of years since last Cascadia, so I was totally calling BS.
I live here in Portland and there have been swarms of earthquake activity up & down the Juan de Fuca plate the last couple of days.
It actually IS Friday, late afternoon. And it IS very hot & traffic IS crazy right now. Everyone actually IS getting off work now & heading for the coast to cool off this weekend!
Your proposed hypothetical scenario is just a little TOO accurate & timely for me...
It's time to repent and get right with Jesus.
No one is promised tomorrow.
ABC's of Salvation:
To be safe for all eternity:
A: Admit that you are a sinner, who violates the Will of God, and that you need a Saviour. Repent. Turn away from your sin and toward Jesus. (Matthew 4:17; Romans 2:4, 3:10, 6:23; Acts 3:19)
B: Believe that Jesus Christ, Son of God & Messiah, died for your sins and rose again, and that He will come again, as prophesied and recorded in the Word of God. Trust in His finished work on the cross. (Romans 10:9-10; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Ephesians 2:8-9)
C: Call on His name, ask Him to save you, and confess that He is Lord. (Romans 10:9-10, 10:13, 14:10-11; Philippians 2:10)
Look at this morning
I live on the peninsula so I watch my earthquake app every day. Just offshore from Vancouver Island there have been just over 30 quakes in the past 30 hours or so. Also, Puget Sound is having an earthquake swarm right now. The offshore quakes have included many above magnitude 4 up to magnitude 4.8.
Any of them could initiate a large rupture.
Thanks for the video,
Be safe and well
None of what you mentioned is abnormal
@@kingme79 I've been watching earthquake lists for about 24 years but don't remember ever seeing so many quakes in that particular spot in that short of time span, especially above a 4.0 and greater. We do get an earthquake swarm every 14 months predictably though.
Swarms are not necessarily a precursor to a large earthquake. Many times small quakes are just pressure release and help to stop a big one from happening. Either way there’s no way to all you can do is try to be prepared. I live in the Pacific Northwest from California. I have lived through many earthquakes.
@@feanacar the swarms are somewhat rhythmic but not all the offshore quakes in that one area.
What’s the name of the app you use

I live on the Southern Oregon coast. Thank you for explaining the magnitude strength. I hope my family will take this a little more seriously.
There's much seismic activity globally recently... "ring of fire" tumult with recent Japanese earthquake ~ 1 month ago... great post !
The CASCADIA IS VERY ACTIVE RIGHT NOW. 👀
Yep, 💯.
🛐📈
The wait might be over with.
Im on the southern tip of Vancouver Island BC and have felt nothing so far despite reports of quakes up to 6.1 very nearby.
@@SableFox72were you on a waterbed?🤔
Quake swarms. They are impacting Rainier and St Helen's, which are also having earthquake swarms. Interesting times, indeed.
I like your ability to explain these geological and seismic phenomena in plain English.
Excellent job!!!!! You obviously did your research on this one. A partial rip is most likely, the devastating results are real.
The southern section near Oregon rips more frequently than others.
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 live on the central Oregon coast and one thing they teach us is how long you'll have to evacuate. Because the expectation is that the earthquake epicenter will be on the southern end of the coast, that gives us approximately 23 minutes. It's closer to 15 for those close to the epicenter. But the tsunami isn't the only threat. Many bridges in Oregon were built before it was known this was an earthquake zone and are not up to code, meaning many will be cut off from these platforms or high ground. Landslides and liquifaction is also a risk since much of the area is built on wetlands.
Agree, only with rain areas are flooding. Decide to follow Jesus Christ 🙏
Hopefully it won't end up like the Tohoku earthquake, and some other similar ones too.
@@mariaborrero957 But isn't your god causing these disasters?
@@mariaborrero957 Why? Does he have a particularly good tsunami evacuation route app on his phone?
I appreciate you didn’t “fear porn” this like most do for more views. I live on Mount Hood’s foothills and fear the day this happens
In all honesty, being prepared for it is all you really can do. Make sure you have supplies and clean water and a plan to get to higher ground if you are anywhere near the coast. The quote that always reverberates in my mind is "everything west of Interstate 5 will be toast". Once the shaking starts you'll have less than 20 minutes before the first Tsunami waves start coming ashore and it will be 20 minutes of absolute chaos for everyone. Be prepared, better safe than sorry.
@@andrewkelley3434 agreed. It’s going to be worse than most people realize. Natural gas lines breaking and downed power lines alone will create more fires than any city can take care of. Those will spread and consume anything in their path.
I have 2 years of food and water for my family and people make fun of me but I’ve spent more money on dumber items in my life lol.
I pray everyone around me realizes it’s going to be more than a “shake” and it’s not just drywall joints that will be damaged. That would be a best case scenario
@@joshsmith3650I’m in the Snoqualmie Valley. I was told by Bonneville that the big power lines near my property would tip over in a 9 and electrocute my horse. A geologist told me the whole valley would drop 500 feet into the aquifer. At least the tsunami would be a ways away. The new activity on the Cascadia has me nervous.
@@sherirottweilersforever7772 I try not to think about it but I am always prepared. It’s silly how many people have had life so good here, don’t understand what that kind of tragedy will be like. It will happen someday, it’s guaranteed. Just hope it’s a few partial ruptures and not a full cascadia earthquake
@@joshsmith3650 most people around here don’t even have extra food even though they are not poor. They think I’m crazy when I mention being prepared for SHTF scenarios. I hope it doesn’t happen any time soon.
I used to live in Copalis 76-77. My friend and I used to canoe the Copalis river frequently. We often wondered what killed those huge trees. We had no idea, otherwise I would not have lived on the beach!

Great vid. I had heard about the Big One growing up in California and it devastating the PNW. I'm working in Portland and I'm only here for one more year and then head back home. Hopefully escaping this massive quake before it hits. Now I grew up in SoCal so I've been in a few, but a 9.3 would change all of the west coast for hundreds of years to come. Let's hope we're more prepared when it does strike.
I just want to say THANK YOU for saying moment magnitude scale! We haven't used Richter in 45 years! (edit: which you even covered! awesome :D)
Is there a significant difference between the two?
I first learned about the Cascadia fault in the late 80s the Army Corps of Engineers was studying it. Rows and rows 12 ft high lined the hallways taped to the wall showing the movement of over 1000 miles of coastline. No one else seemed to know. When Loma Prieta hit I was in that as a first responder and diver with the Army. I thought the Cascadia would blow then. Now it’s any second it can hit.
IMO, you are right that casualties and injuries would be much much higher in a full rip, even a partial rip, depending on the location.
3:47 this was the inspiration of the art piece ‘The Great Wave off Kanagawa’
Thank you for this informative and well made video. I live in Bellingham Washington and i think about this potential event sometimes, but more often this past few years since i work right on the water and live less than 1/2 mile away from work. I feel pretty confident that when the quake happens, if im at work, my entire boatyard will fall into the bay. However, if i am able to avoid falling into the bay (🤞), i feel ok about being able to avoid being crushed by any buildings or fallen trees. After the initial shockwave, i could drive home in 1-5 minutes, depending on which route i take. There are pretty much only 4 ways i could go home, but only 2 of them dont go under or over any bridges. If i was on foot i could literally run straight up the street from work and be home almost as fast as driving. If the 6-plex i live in is still standing after i get there, i have other vehicles and a decent amount of supplies there, but i would still need to get the f*ck away from the water. Im constantly trying to figure out where else in the area i should be staging emergency supplies for the minutes/days/weeks following this terrible event. Does anybody know where i could find information about the expected trajectory of the tsunami in my area, and how far east of bellingham could be expected to be safe from it?
Get in the BOAT!
Nice job on your video and very informative as well. Appreciate the use of historical records and presenting this important material in a sound way with no hysterics that is so often injected into this type of public awareness messages. I lived in California (for work) and was in Big Bear when we had a 6.5 in 1992 and was very near the epicenter. Now we live north of Spokane so I very much appreciate your presentation. Keep up the good work!!!
Excellent job. Unquestionably the best I've seen regarding Cascadia for numerous reasons.
I'm well inland, just outside of Napavine so I'll miss the tsunami, but Cascadia still scares the hell out of me due mostly to the aftermath.
We have no clue! It's all just a guess! I live in Los Angeles. Every time we have an earthquake we have more questions we are unable to answer.
This is an excellent, erudite summary explanation of the reason for and damage by a 9.2 earthquake in Cascadia of the Pacific Northwest of America. Bravo Solomon! Being a geologist, I enjoyed it even though people I love live there. But I live in hurricane ally on the opposite side of the country, so I can't criticize. In America, you can choose your disaster. Almost every location has something.
Time to move back to tornado alley…..
Tornadoes have been active all over the US lately
I moved to Portland in Feb to be with an SO. I’m in love with him but regretting living here based on volcanic/earthquake activity. I’m incredibly nervous…
Much appreciated!
Thank you 🙏
I have to say, I’ve read and watched just about anything to do with our geology in the PNW. Very fascinating. However, I am seriously impressed at your compilation of information and delivery. Beautiful work on this video. I’m hooked. Now subscribed. Thank you!
I'm thoroughly impressed with your work and style and everything. Awesome! If you're not a teacher idk why the hell not
This was an interesting video.
I have been watching many videos about the expected quake to understand what it means to my own survival. This one shared more information in an easy-to-understand way.
What the quake will do to our infrastructure, especially everything underground like water, sewage, gas, power, is beyond my ability to prep for. I live in a basement room in a house with septic sewage and gas lines close enough to explode and kill me. We have old trees that will fall when that size of quake hits... also so large and near that death is the only possible outcome. Alot depends on what time of year this thing hits.
I grew up in California, and have gone through some quakes there. Over five minutes of shaking is a frightening thought.
Survival that will last for months and years leads to a lot of issues... banks, food, money, transportation, safety, communication, violence, danger, cleanliness, medical care, and everything else.
And this is not the only danger we face right now.
Looks like a few people making comments have never taken a basic geology class and don't know about seismographs. The plates are real and have been mapped. If liquifaction occurs, no escape.
Most people in Portland don't even graduate high school and are barely literate
Correct. And down in the Tacoma area is a perfect setting for liquefaction.
Thank you for all you do.
Great info! I watch everything about Cascadia and your video is among the best!
On my way to work one day (from Bonney Lake to Burien) I realized the roads I was on were either Volcano, Tsunami, and/or Earthquake evacuation routes. I was offered a job and moved back to Kansas City in 2012.
You traded the Juan de Fuca for the New Madrid...😮😮😮

Yea! So we decided to move to the high desert where it’s 116F+ for weeks on end with zero rain at 1200’. If we can survive here, we can survive just about anywhere. The northern tip of the Sonoran Desert is a very curious landscape. From Scottsdale to Sedona the geology indicates a massive flood over the Mogollon Rim and through present day Phoenix, depositing gravel beds and sand way into Mexico.
Wrong. Go study better.
@@jrlagoni large gravel beds in NE Phoenix, next to the foothills along Az87, industrial gravel pit mining. Rounded gravel. Water does that.

Have you read that document that came out (more like book) in 2016? It breaks down what it would look like when the big one hits, the collapse of infrastructure, where most casualties will be, how far up the tsunami could go. I work for the State and they sent it in an email for fun, I think. I read the whole thing and have been obsessed (and educating others) since. Can't wait to watch your volcanoes episode! I can see Baker from my back yard.

Great job one of my favorite topics❤❤
I keep seeing in my dreams a tsunami hitting white rock area it’s huge! Despite Victoria island 🏝️ this wave was huge
I wonder if inland Surrey is safe
Lakes will have seiches. Any body of water touching the Pacific will be affected. 100-200' tsunami is possible, though inland will see the water drain out after the earthquake. That will be your notice to head for the highest spot you can reach.
I now live in NH but I'm from the PNW - Renton, Kitsap county, and Vancouver WA.

I grew up in Oregon and Washington and watched Mt. St. Helen’s erupt in May 18 from my grandparents house in Battleground. They have been talking about The Big One from this fault line since then. There is more than enough that proves when this fault line snaps the coast lines from Northern California to British Colombia will be wiped off the map..guaranteed. The ancient indians all along the coast lines spoke of a great wave that struck the coast lines many centuries ago. It happened before it’ll happen again.
Yet the coastlines are still there, go figure. You badly need to look at the tsunami maps that have been prepared for the coast to see what will happen along the coast.

We are a retiring couple in our mid 60's and leaving the southwest to retire in the eastern Portland area next spring. At this age we will take our chances as living in one of the most beautiful places in the world is worth the downside. When we do relocate we will learn about and take all the planned precautions to avoid the worst case scenario. Thanks!
Your documentary will be seen as prophetic when this happens in a few days.
No it won't. You're completely wrong
No one knows the date this will happen, people need to stop date setting all the time, its ridiculous. Repent and pray to be counted worthy to escape all these things that are coming. 🙏📖🕯
We fall in Fall... Not in a few days. Enjoy the rest of your summer.
@ryangreen3332 we've heard that a thousand times. Kind of like 10/10/2010? Thanks Nostrudumbass!
@@ryangreen3332so basically "enjoy the rest of your life""
Grew up in Washington State. Experienced at least 4 quakes in my life and have come to the conclusion that if you panic you will die. Not being cavalier but realizing that the more understanding a person can get on this subject the more likely that person can make logical decisions. I lived in Lake Hills ( Bellevue,WA) and learned about the Seattle fault line at about the age of 6.
I'll take the Juan de Fuca with guacamole please
I graduated with honors from Juan de Fuca U.
Meanwhile I just realized I have anouther hurricane called "Milton" doing the classic football stomp before it rams the coast here in FL. Crap... LOL :-) Great video BTW
I have seen many bits on this and they are all the same. I have seen credible forecasts which go as high as 9.8. Few people address the vertical acceleration. Another neglected topic is the effect on poor or weak infrastructure inland. What bridge or dam or toxic waste pond, or taillings pile or cliff face over a highway is going to collapse, fail, give way, slide and fall down 100, 200, 300 or even more miles inland. I bet there is LOTS much of which will hamper rescue efforts re: resources and transportation.
Do a show on that.
Cheers!
Great video!
Vancouver - we have a housing crisis: Cascadia subduction zone - ill fix that
Mt. Rainier: don't forget about meee!
Vancouver Island " we all live in a yellow submarine"
Great job 🤩
scary shit - hope we don’t see this in our lifetime- thx for vid
Eternal damnation is reincarnation my friend.. consider if you want to be born into hell or Eden. The time is now.
Thank you, Sir, for the info regarding Cascadia. Am concerned since I have family members living or residing on the Pacific coast. Am praying 🙏 to God that it won't happen 🙏 . God bless 😇 us all, and God bless 😇 you and your family.
Ya know there is so much gloom and doom, it’s no wonder I am depressed, have anxiety issues and trouble sleeping? GOD how a bout some good news! I get it we’re all screwed but I don’t need this every waking minute!!!!!😂
Good news? Here it is: get your next residency lined up away from the Juan de Luca plate ‼️
Good news it didn’t happen today
Good news is you have free will and do not HAVE TO click on videos like this 😊
Great video!!
Don't forget the toxic fumes from chemical plants around columbia.
"West of I5 is toast"?
Thank goodness I've always lived on the Eastside! 😅
My thoughts exactly 😹
My mom, a native Oregonian, never said anything about Oregon’s earthquake history while I was growing up in the San Francisco area. I remember the Daley City Earthquake of 1957 but it was just a 5.7. I was used to the “shakers” of the Bay Area but was surprised by the “roller” I felt in Portland, Oregon in @1991. Since then, I’ve been hearing about the “Big One” in the Pacific Northwest. I was concerned and still am, although I try not to get too freaked out about it anymore. I have attached my house (built in 1921) to the foundation and have different items on hand for power failure, etc. I have likened it to being ready for an ice storm, heat wave, etc. I know how to shut off my gas and water, in an emergency. I have candles, matches, batteries, stored water, etc. I just hope I’m not stuck on the Marqum bridge when it hits!
The 2015 Cascadia Megaquake Report was originally written for the LA Basin. Managers have misled the Public into thinking the remote Pacific NW has the next US West Coast Megaquake; not panicking 40 million Californians into fleeing their State. "Everything destroyed between the Pacific Ocean and I-5" can't happen to Seattle nor Portland, for the coastal mountains in WA and OR.
@robile
I, for 1, really hope you know what you're talking about.
I moved from Texas over a decade ago and initially lived on the Kitsap peninsula, then a couple of years ago moved to Montesano. I'm thinking it might be time to move back to Texas. I'm familiar with hurricanes, tornados, flash flooding and godawful heat and humidity, but this earthquake stuff is very unsettling.
Yes it can . You're absolutely clueless
@@Azazel2024 The Cascade Range is too high for waves to get overtop. The tsunami would have to be thousands of feet high. But water will fill up the Columbia and cause flooding in all the surrounding cities.
Uh-huh. Do you know about the Tsunami that hit the coast in 1700. Has nothing to do with LA. The San Andreas isn't capable of much above an 8.0 quake.
My best suggestion for electricity, if your home can survive this, is a giant propane tank and a generator that can use it and plenty of extra oil and sparkplugs for it. You can also charge large batteries when you use it to get the most out of it. A 12v 300ah LiFeP04 battery can run a freezer or small fridge for a very long time to save on fuel.
I’m tired of kilometers. I was raised to think in miles. It doesn’t translate for me. Oh, well I’ll be dead soon and the metric system will live on. But it’s still difficult to change your sense of distance and speed when you grew up on something else.
2.5 klm =1mi.
No, 1.6 kilometers =1 mile
A kilometer is just over a half mile. If distance or speed is expressed in kms just divide the number by 2. If it's in miles and you want kms, multiply by 2. So, 60 km is about 30 miles. For every 10 kms add 1 mile (or fraction of) to your total if you want it more accurate, so that's 36 miles (actually 36.15.)
Not to mention that it would destroy the Etch a sketch museum.....
The Great Reset. 🤣
Excellent video. I was going to comment that there has been a seismic retrofit going on for a few years, although not with the urgency that has happened in Southern California [for obvious reasons] but you beat me to it. EVERYONE should have a bug-out bag packed and readily accessible at all times. One carry-on sized bag that has a week's worth of basic clothes that will cover conditions regardless of the time of year [have a pair of sturdy shoes or hiking boots quick-clipped to the outside of the bag. You may have to evacuate in the middle of the night]. If you take medication, have a separate [highly water repellent] bag for those medications you need. You should have a 90-day supply and rotate them regularly [most doctors will write the extra prescription if you explain it, but you will have to pay CASH. Fill the first extra from a completely different pharmacy]. When you get your new 90-day prescription, put it in your Rx go-bag and retrieve the one that has been in the go-bag for use. Your 'medicine bag' should also have a selection of first-aid supplies [including a QUALITY pocket-sized book on basic first-aid]. You should also have a small but rugged backpack containing freeze-dried food, cooking and eating utensils, and a method for cooking that food. Water purification tablets or a purification filter are good ideas. A two-qt. canteen is a good idea. Just remember you will probably have to carry ALL of this stuff on your person, perhaps for MILES. DON'T OVERPACK! Once you have your complete bug-out kit assembled, take it ALL on a hike [one mile would be best, half-mile would be instructive]. Don't forget a good hat that will shade your head and neck, and shed water. A good walking stick is also helpful. A few bandanas and a quality knife are also good ideas [you don't need a Rambo knife, just a good 4-5" hunting style knife, although a quality folder is fine for a low profile]. Don't forget to grab your wallet when you leave [which should have at least a couple hundred dollars in it. Cash is king].
The Richter Scale has been outdated for 40 years...sadly, except in Hollywood. 😅
I suspect the presenter is actually referencing the seismic intensity scale.
It’s very knowledgeable content to listen to and learn from
It is far, far more useful to go look at the government information about the subject and prepare with real information and not second hand information from someone who is not an expert and wants to get as many clicks as possible.
The gulf of mexico is a big bowl. The cascadia will take out the states around it when it displaces that water. New navy map shows it.
You lost me. What does the gulf have to do with the PNW and cascadia?
Lived there for 8 years . Went through 2 earthquakes. 1 shook the house. 1 had rolling waves. Spooky.
Plate tectonics (from Latin tectonicus, from Ancient Greek τεκτονικός (tektonikós) 'pertaining to building')[1] is the scientific THEORY that Earth's lithosphere comprises a number of large tectonic plates, which have been slowly moving
Oh, it's just a theory. Like global warming and evolution and the big bang, right?
