1,000-foot-tall ‘mega tsunami’ threatens US across three regions, experts warn

Experts have issued a warning about a potential “mega tsunami” that could sweep away entire communities with its massive waves.

Alaska, Hawaii and the West Coast of the mainland US face an ongoing threat due to how close they are to disaster zones — and the West Coast just received a renewed warning.

A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences revealed that an earthquake could erupt along the Cascadia subduction zone, a fault that stretches from Northern Vancouver Island to Cape Mendocino, California. Researchers from Virginia Tech found that a potential powerful earthquake combined with rising sea levels could lead to a mega tsunami, most severely impacting residents and properties in Northern California, northern Oregon and southern Washington.

A mega tsunami is a disastrous wave caused by the displacement of ocean water, which can be triggered by earthquakes, landslides or volcanic eruptions.

Oh, boy. Between global warming, asteroid impacts, mega tsunamis, murder hornets and Democrat judges, I don’t know how I get any sleep at night.

"could sweep away entire communities"

Sorry, I am not going to be terrified by the latest study where they make computer models do cartwheels.

"A new study..."

More like "the hundredth study" to show this danger...

Last week, we received the sad and frightening news that the whole universe is going to end much sooner than previously thought.

Move over Allgorites, the panic room is getting crowded...
