Scientists Issue Warning: ‘Mega Tsunami’ Imminent, Pacific Northwest at Risk

The specter of a tsunami looms once again, as scientists reveal alarming information about an impending “mega tsunami.” This colossal wave is projected to strike multiple regions of America, including the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, and the Hawaiian Islands, within the next fifty years. This catastrophic event is anticipated to be triggered by a powerful earthquake.

Frightening details have emerged from research conducted by geoscientists at Virginia Tech. Their findings indicate that the aforementioned American regions could experience an earthquake of increasing intensity, potentially reaching magnitude 8 on the Richter scale, within the next five decades. This seismic activity is likely to occur in coastal areas, potentially causing sea levels to rise by up to 6.5 meters.

The ensuing tsunami could devastate areas such as Cape Mendocino, California, and Vancouver Island, Canada. Significant damage is also feared in Northern California, Northern Oregon, and Southern Washington, with Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands also facing severe repercussions.

Scientists warn that the sheer magnitude of this mega tsunami means the height of the waves will be unimaginable, leaving miles of destruction in their wake once they reach coastal plains.

While scientists have not yet confirmed if India will be affected by this mega tsunami, they indicate that India is also considered to be in the danger zone.
