Important Takeaways:
- Major fault line off West Coast could trigger catastrophic 9-magnitude earthquake, study finds – and it’s due to blow
- An underwater fault line along the US West Coast could trigger a mega quake that would be more devastating than California’s ‘Big One,’ a new study suggests.
- Using underwater mapping techniques, scientists have mapped the Cascadia Subduction Zone – a 600-mile fault line extending from southern Canada to northern California – in never-before-seen detail.
- It has revealed that the fault splits into four segments instead of being one continuous strip like most fault lines. The discovery could prove more catastrophic because the tectonic plates can slide under each other, creating more pressure and more severe earthquakes.
- California’s San Andreas is poised for an up to 8.3-magnitude quake, for comparison.
- If an earthquake of over 9 magnitude struck the West Coast US it could generate tsunamis reaching 100 feet high or more, kill more than 10,000 people and cause over $80 billion in damages in just Oregon and Washington alone.
- Disaster emergency plans in Oregon and Washington warn that in the aftermath of a quake that big, they could face a wave of long-term deaths due to disease from exposure to dead bodies, animal carcasses, contaminated water and Hazmat spills from commercial, industrial and household sources.
- A similar fault zone off the coast of Japan erupted in 2011, creating a magnitude 9 quake that caused a devastating tsunami to strike the country, killing nearly 20,000 people.
- Now scientists are worried that a similar calamity could impact the US in the coming years, reporting that quakes caused by Cascadia occur roughly every 500 years, with the last one taking place in 1700.
- ‘The recurrent interval for this subduction zone for big events is on the order of 500 years,’ Wang said.
- ‘It’s hard to know exactly when it will happen, but certainly, if you compare this to other subduction zones, it is quite late.’

Important Takeaways:
- Another Tsunami Prophecy – When Will The American People Start Listening To The Warnings?
- We have been warned for decades that someday gigantic tsunamis will hit the United States. Unfortunately, most of the population is not interested in such warnings at all.
- Perry Stone has had a number of “tsunami dreams” over the years, and on November 9th he had another one which greatly startled him.
- …he reveals that he was shown that the tsunami threat is caused by a large earthquake…
- Stone then transitioned into a series of dreams he has had over the years, specifically focusing on tsunami scenarios affecting various coastal areas of the United States. While clarifying that he does not actively seek such visions, Stone shared a recent dream from Nov. 9, in which he witnessed an earthquake and the subsequent threat of a tsunami.
- “I do not go to bed thinking about tsunamis. I do not ask God to show me events concerning tsunamis. As a matter of fact, these dreams often come at a time when I least expect it,” Stone reveals.
- According to Oregon State University paleoseismologist Chris Goldfinger, the Cascadia Subduction Zone has the potential to cause an earthquake that is “almost 30 times more energetic” than anything that the San Andreas Fault is capable of producing…
- Such a quake would have the ability to create a giant tsunami that could potentially destroy everything west of Interstate 5 in the Pacific Northwest.
- Needless to say, we have never seen a disaster of that magnitude in the entire history of our country, and we are completely and utterly unprepared for it.
- Goldfinger claims…The tsunami would bring water 20 to 80 – maybe even 100 – feet higher than today’s high tides. Most of the structures that have survived the killer quake but built too low will be smashed into by a devastating wall of water. And the next surge could be even higher, and the one after that higher still.
- It won’t just be the water causing destruction, but everything it picks up.
- A number of years ago, the former head of FEMA’s Region X was quoted by the New Yorker as saying that “everything west of Interstate 5 will be toast”…

Important Takeaways:
- CRACK OF DOOM Red alert for magnitude-9 mega-earthquake off Pacific coast as crack discovered in 600-mile fault at bottom of ocean
- Experts are on high alert amid fears a crack at the bottom of the ocean could trigger an apocalyptic earthquake.
- The hole, just 50 miles off the coast of the US state of Oregon, is spewing hot liquid that scientists warn could spark a magnitude-nine earthquake with the potential to devastate the west coast.
- It is located along a 600-mile fault line that stretches from California to Canada known as the Cascadia Subduction Zone.
- Although the hole was first spotted in 2015, scientists now warn that the liquid coming out is a so-called “fault lubricant”, which allows tectonic plates to move easily.
- Therefore, the more fluid that is in the cracks of the faults, the less pressure there is between the two tectonic plates.
- Without it, pressure beneath the earth’s crust can grow, leading to an unbelievably powerful quake.
- Subduction systems – where one tectonic plate slides over another – have been responsible for some of the deadliest earthquakes in recent years, including the 2011 quake in Japan that killed some 20,000 people.
- Scientists believe the last powerful quake in the Cascadia zone was in 1700.
