“It is coming. It is a certainty […] more than ten-thousand will die,” says Fox News anchor Shepard Smith
PACIFIC NORTHWEST (INTELLIHUB) — “Our operating assumption is that everything west of Interstate 5 will be toast,” a FEMA official told Kathryn Schulz of the New Yorker. “When the next full-margin rupture happens, that region will suffer the worst natural disaster in the history of North America.”, Schulz wrote about an anticipated future mega-quake.
“The worst natural disaster in the history of America is coming […] if I lived right now in the Pacific Northwest I would be considering moving — seriously,” Fox newscaster Shepard Smith warned his audience before going on the explain how a “colossal earthquake and […] tsunami” will likely strike the Pacific Northwest in the not too distant future.
“They [scientists] are all in agreement, it is absolutely coming,” said Smith, “a wall of water […] up to a hundred feet high and up to seven-hundred feet across.
“Houses […] dump-trucks […] schools” will be washed away, “thousand and thousands will not escape.”

“Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, and Olympia, Salem and Eugene wiped out. Altogether about 7 million people and that’s not including tourists.”
“These massive 9.2 earthquakes […] happen at regular intervals […] on average, according to scientists, about every 240 years.”, said Smith.
The segment, which was based on the New Yorker’s write-up, also featured top Astrophysicist Michio Kaku. Shockingly during the broadcast Kaku explained how the Cascadia Fault has already yielded evidence to “scientists” showing how “we could be long overdue for another big one.”
“In the inundation zone we have 70,000 that have almost no clue as to what could happen.”, said Kaku. Unfortunatly Smith already pointed out that the massive tsunami would likely hit about “fifteen minutes” after the earthquake leaving no time for people to flee.
Kaku also offered some advice, saying, “I would think twice” about living in the Pacific Northwest.”
“In the lifetime of some of our viewers they may see Seattle and Portland destroyed,” warned Kaku.
In preparation for such a disaster “Oregon OEM is urging all Oregonians to participate in the Great Oregon ShakeOut earthquake drill on Oct. 15 at 10:15 a.m. It is part of the nation’s largest earthquake drill, and last year more than 390,000 Oregonians participated. Register at http://shakeout.org/oregon/register/ and take steps to make your family safer.” — KTVZ 21
...Oh dear, I live a mile West of I-5 and the elevation is only 189 feet...
I used to live about two or three miles East of I-5 in Springfield, OR. (Over the Willamette river from Eugene.) I don't know what the elevation there is.
But I left that place a decade-and-a-half ago. Which is kind of sad - because I liked the place.
But moving back east to care for my very elderly parents is a bit better that dieing in an earthquake/tsunami - I suppose...
... Eugene Springfield area. We just had a minor earthquake last month.
I also used to live in Reno, Nevada. A fault runs right under Lake Tahoe. (The fault created Lake Tahoe). One early Sunday morning I was in bed asleep dreaming that I was in a rowboat out on the water in a violent storm being tossed around. Suddenly I was awoken by something crashing to the floor in my next door neighbor's apartment after falling off of a shelf.
I then quickly realized that my bed was the rowboat, and I WAS being tossed around. Then it stopped. I was awake for only the last few seconds of it.
Later, people who lived on Tahoe told me that there were little 2 or 3 foot 'baby tsunamis' on the lake. Pretty wild! Almost no damage though.
