A terrifying 1,000-foot mega-tsunami could slam into the West Coast, and scientists say it’s more than just a wild theory. The threat comes from the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a massive offshore fault line stretching from California to Canada. Experts say there’s a 15% chance it could rupture in the next 50 years — triggering a powerful earthquake and a devastating tsunami.
The last time this fault moved was in 1700, causing a quake so strong it sent a tsunami all the way to Japan. Now, with rising sea levels, the impact of the next one could be even worse — swallowing coastal towns, displacing millions, and potentially making some areas uninhabitable.
In this video, we break down what scientists are warning, what history tells us, and how bad it could get if the worst-case scenario hits.
