The Pacific Northwest is due for a Major Earthquake

Ғылым және технология

An 8.0-magnitude-plus earthquake hasn't rumbled beneath the Pacific Northwest since the 1700s. Now, the region is due for the next "big one" and a subsequent tsunami. Coastal Indigenous communities could be severely affected. (Already, the Shoalwater Bay Tribe is constructing a tsunami tower to give their residents a better shot at survival in the face of this kind of natural disaster.)
Clues from the past-paired with modern-day science-can help us better understand why this area is at risk and how to best mitigate an earthquake and tsunami's effects.

    Born & raised in the Pacific Northwest i've been hearing this all my life. I predict we won't be prepared b/c it's easy to become complacent & say "yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever" until it happens then we'll complain why nobody warned us. Just human nature isn't it?

    As another native Pacific Northwesterner, I have also heard threats of the "big one" my whole life. Between the "big one", California breaking off and causing devastation to the whole West, Yellowstone having a major geyser explosion, and threats of Dante's Peak 2.0 (Mt. St. Helen's), I still have no idea what to even prepare for, let alone try to be prepared at all. Am I supposed to prepare for earthquakes, tsunamis, or volcanic doomsday? How would I even go about preparing for that, beyond building a crazy doomsday bunker? Even if we wanted to, I doubt humans could prepare properly for all eventual disasters.

    A close family member (president of the mining association Canada) showed me maps of what would happen to the coast line of B.C if a magnitude 8.5 or above happened. It was absolutely shocking. If you're in North Van, Delta, Tsawwassen, or anywhere near Richmond, god be with you. These areas aren't on bedrock and will sink/landslide before a tsunami even hits. Everything will be under 75+ feet of water.

    I’ve been around the Olympic Peninsula. Coastal communities severely lack in emergency evacuation routes. Highways need to become freeway sized in order to move massive amounts of vehicles in a hurry. No stop signs or traffic lights to stop or delay emergency evacuation routes. Winding mountain Highway 101 is only 2 lanes in some areas. I experienced Texas coastal Hurricanes & Tornadoes. Emergency Evacuation easily crawls to a snail pace. There is little chance that most people will survive the big one.

I find it interesting how so many people who live in our state will listen to warnings, and actually see signs with their own eyes, and yet... they still just go on about their merry little lives without a second thought. Those are the people who really are not prepared in some way in case of a disaster. And if they survive, they'll be some of the first ones running and screaming for help while standing in long lines to get it. Be prepared. Those people are the ones who will kill you out of desperation.

    Having survived the Slymar, Calif quake of 1971, which was a 6.6 quake, I can not imagine how terrifying that higher amount of 9.0 would be. During my experience, which happen right before dawn, myself and 8 month pregnant wife awoke, to crashing and shaking that gave me an impression that a speeding freight train was right outside my window. Looking out that window briefly, I watched as trees and telephone poles waved back and forth like like being moved by a giant hand. All the dishes and kitchen ware came crashing out of the cupboards. My large console TV tipped over and the bathroom sink pipe snapped with water shooting up like a fountain. We were taught to retreat to doorways in a quake, as it is reinforced and less likely to collapse. As I hugged my wife we were knocked off our feet several times and when I got back up I couldn't stop my knees from knocking, I was that scared. I was sure we were going to die that day. After shocks happened for days, maybe weeks. Each time I would wonder if this new quake would be my final. But we survived. Life goes on for the living. I pray the Pacific NW will somehow be spared this clamity.

    With the way the Richter Scale works, each number equates to a *significantly* more violent earthquake than the last, so a 9 would be absolutely catastrophic. Unfortunately, the Cascadia Subduction Zone *will* generate one -- it's a one-in-three chance of happening within the next 50 years, in fact.

    @@MemoirsofaBasketcaseit’s an inherently negative belief to hold that there is no creator of the universe because what follows is a meaningless and a futile life. I choose the belief that leads to meaning. Because otherwise I would rather be dead if I found out definitively that the contrary were true. There can be no meaning in a happenstance universe and thus nothing would matter in this scenario. There’s is no such thing as actual love or right or wrong; A mass murder wasn’t wrong, it was just natural selection in an arbitrary universe. So I think that though neither position can be proved definitively, it’s a much more positive belief to hold that there is a creator. Plus, scientific theories are based off observation - but we have never observed something coming from nothing. So it is extremely rational to believe in intelligent creation as a base worldview. And It’s belief worth spreading because the opposite, nihilism, leads to depression an anxiety. That’s where I was in high school.

If you don't have access to landlines, communication is going to be very difficult after a large quake. And, your local lines may go down, so you'll only have long distance. It's a good idea to have an out of state contact who can relay messages. Is any of this still being taught? I no longer live in an earthquake prone area.

    my 4th grade teacher went through the 9.2 magnitude Alaska quake in 1964. she said she was in high school and she ran to catch the bus for her school's ski trip. as she was running to catch the bus, the quake hit, the ground opened up, the bus fell in and then the ground closed back up. it killed everyone on the bus. she's so lucky she missed it. when the ground stopped shaking, she ran back home to find her family outside, looking at the ruins of their house. she brought in a film of the news reports and home movie footage that people in Anchorage had shot. what destruction that was.

    I've seen several of these "tsunami towers" featured in various videos. And, I can't help but see them as anything but a placebo, of sorts. The initial destruction tsunami's cause isn't the result of water rising vertically. The water will be traveling horizontally, with enough force to shear almost any such framework off at the ground. And that's just the water. Much like a tornado, the most destructive component would be other objects picked up and carried along with the wind, water, etc. To supplement such a structure, and give it even a fighting chance of surviving the impact, a wedge-like mound could be formed on the sea-facing side. Not pyramid-like, in shape. But more akin to a splitting wedge (used for splitting firewood).

    The wave comes in…then it goes back out carrying everything it knocked loose coming in! At the sight of La Chole near Zhuatenajo, the tsunami went in about 4-5 kilometers, washed over earthen pyramids 20-30 feet tall, and buried everything at ground level in about 3-5 feet of sand. There is a museum there now that has many artifacts that have been found from excavations, in the ground around the area after rainstorms remove sand, and construction of local houses, etc. I have visited the area twice and it is quite interesting to see the excavations, visit local residents, and learn of the culture that existed. There are about 10 sports fields located by satellite photos, and one has been excavated, as well as one of the earthen pyramids surface area and crest platform of about 1+ acres. We ate lunch prepared by one of the village couples and they had about 30+ artifacts just sitting on the ground in their backyard consisting of bowls, plates, implements and even a grain or corn grinding platform like a small corn hole game platform, carved out of stone about 1/5 the size. There are many more artifacts that were sent to the cultural museum in Mexico City. What will happen on the Pacific coast will be very similar from an earthquake of 9+. The Jan 1, 1700 tsunami was recorded in documents in Japan that registered the tsunami arriving on Jan 2nd since it had crossed the international dateline the same day. 😳

    @@fobbitoperator3620 I've worked as a foundation and geotechnical engineer in previous stages of my career, so I can give you a little information here. Many steel frame structures with deep foundations actually faired quite well in the 2011 Japan tsunami. The problem was there weren't many of them. Most residential structures were built on shallow foundations with wood framing, and these were either destroyed or broke away from their foundations and floated away and were completely destroyed. The schematic shown in the video of the towers shows them with deep foundations, which would be drilled concrete piers or driven steel piers anchored in bedrock, or 50 to 100 feet into solid soil. This would assure that the structures would not move even during a violent tsunami.

    @@DirtFlyer Aaaahhhhh yes, a fellow adult speaking with wisdom, common sense, & science. Rare these days here on the interwebs nets. I myself was a Local 1 Ironworker (not an engineer) in Chicago for 13 years. I assembled & installed deep subterranean caissons to reinforce foundations for high rises, highway overpasses, & a myriad of other structures which required heavy duty lateral support. For sustained lateral pressure, like wind, floods hyperactive 6 year olds on BIG wheels etc, I would presume these types of structures would have the depth & tinsel strength to stand up to high winds, raging flood waters & maybe even low registering Earthquakes. But a 300-400 mph +100' tall tsunami?? Eehhh, I'm going to go out in a limb here & say perhaps if fabricated with the utmost of high quality alloys & erected properly, the physical structures "could" stand up to that sort of hydro-blast. (nevermind all the aggregate/debris the tsunami brings with it) But the people dwelling within the structures would end up bursting into piles of hamburger meat, due to the raw power of the impact, & the ambient explosive pressure of a MMAAASSIVE wave of incalculable volume & velocity slamming into the structure at those speeds. Your comment made perfect sense from an structural engineering standpoint. But the soft liquid filled bodies of the people within the structures would practically explode with all that intense pressure lambasting them all at once. Kansas, Nebraska & even Idaho would be safe from tsunamis. Relocation might be a sound plan. CHEERS!!!

    @@fobbitoperator3620 That's some good hard work you've done! I've done inspection work on a few sites where some of these massive structures were installed. The equipment and capabilities is always mind blowing to me when you get to see the 10+ foot diameter drilled piers going in. The only structures that withstood the tsunami in Japan were BOTH steel or concrete structures and with deep foundations. And if you're below water level in one of those buildings you are still toast. But new skyscrapers are built to withstand 8+ magnitude earthquakes, although they employ even more measure such as active damping within the buildings and such. A tsunami tower would not require that level of engineering and is specifically designed to endure the forces of the tsunami waves and debris crashing into it. I believe you also would not have walls on the towers, just the bare steel framework perhaps with concrete to protect from debris, so the lateral forces would be decreased. Your thoughts on the speed of a tsunami aren't quite accurate. In the open ocean tsunamis do travel at the speed of jet airplanes. Once they get into shallow water they slow down significantly to the speed of a severe flash flood. There are many videos of the tsunami in Japan where you can observe this up close and personal. As far as the height...100 feet is extremely rare for a tsunami. In the instances where it did occur in Japan, it was due to a combination of the entire land mass dropping down many feet, and the wave height being amplified as it came into narrowing ports and harbors with steep, high shore slopes. These types of harbors are not very common on the OR or WA coast, although they definitely could experience the drop in elevation of the landmass to some degree. I would guess that in Japan's tsunami the average wave height was somewhere around 40 feet high. In the end, I would say that a tower is a "good enough for now" approach. The better long term approach would be moving entire cities and towns on the coast to higher ground, and building bigger highway evacuation routes with more resilient bridges.

Unfortunately, with the expected drop in elevation, western land shift and liquidification from the Big One combined with the fact that the barrier dune has been destroyed over the last century through erosion and human development, I don't see many of us making it to high ground in the 20 minutes expected between quake and wave.
