URGENT: A 1,000-foot mega-tsunami could slam into the U.S. West Coast — scientists say it’s not a matter of if, but when
A terrifying new study warns that a massive tsunami up to 1,000 feet high could hit California, Oregon, and Washington within the next 50 years. Triggered by a magnitude 8.0+ earthquake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone, this natural disaster could erase entire coastal cities off the map.

The threat lies deep beneath the Pacific, hidden in plain sight
The Cascadia Subduction Zone, a 600-mile underwater fault stretching from Northern California to Vancouver Island, has been quiet for centuries. But scientists now say it’s overdue for a rupture that could unleash devastation similar to Japan’s deadly 2011 tsunami.

This isn’t just about shaking — land could literally sink
Geological models show the earthquake could cause the land to drop up to 6.5 feet in minutes. That would instantly expose massive new areas to the incoming waves and make evacuation almost impossible in time.

Flood zones could triple in size
The area of potential tsunami flooding could expand from 35 to over 115 square miles. This means homes, hospitals, highways, and essential infrastructure across hundreds of miles could be wiped out in minutes.

Warning systems may not be fast enough
Current U.S. tsunami alert systems only offer a few minutes of warning — nowhere near enough for coastal communities to escape such a fast-moving wall of water. Scientists stress that we are not prepared.

Millions could be displaced — emergency plans are outdated
Nearly 1 million people live in the projected impact zone. Without updated evacuation plans, many would be trapped. Experts are urging government agencies to act now before it’s too late.

The danger is real, and the clock is ticking
The last mega-quake in this region struck over 300 years ago. Based on historical patterns, the next one is not just possible — it’s expected.
