- Could a tsunami, which starts miles off Washington’s coast, make its way deep into Puget Sound or Hood Canal? New maps from the Washington Geological Survey show it's likely.
Parts of low-lying Bellingham could find themselves under nearly 11 feet of water. Part of the Snohomish River Delta between Everett and Marysville could get nearly six feet and Seattle’s Harbor Island could be inundated with nearly four feet of water.
The maps show slightly lower effects in the south Sound, with the Port of Tacoma getting three-and-a-half feet and low-lying areas of Olympia could receive six inches.
The area that could see the worst inundation is Belfair, at the tip of Hood Canal, which could see depths of 14 feet. www.king5.com/...
Sooooo, A lot of us are fooked. Nice...
Nah 3 ft waves ain't nothin
Check out any video about the west coast subduction zone. It’s the plates off the coast, all part of the ring of fire. When they go, it’ll be lights out for millions
It’s the cascadia subduction zone.
It may be coming sooner than anyone thinks. The small earthquakes happening off the coast are no fluke. It is the pressure building up! Don't be scared, be prepared!
Omg I just moved to Seattle this is scaryyyy
Small quakes can help relieve some of the pressure. If they suddenly go quiet or begin to appear along previously unknown fault lines, then you have to worry.
Bring it on!!
Small quakes release pressure.
@@wendyroman4944 That's what Ryan Hall always says!
I cause tsunamis when I do a belly flop on the water
Parts of the coast and inland puget sound could sink up to 50 feet in some areas. At least that is what goldfinger says.
I'm surprised all news forcasts all over the world are not talking about all these earthguakes happening
cuz it's not their problem. it's US's problem. and cuz this type of earthquake happens roughly happens once every 250-500years. Other countries got other junk to forecast on
Lake Stevens is chillin!!
It’s that time again! Cue the Yellowstone caldera footage for January.
Where can we get a copy of this map?
Search the wa state dnr pages. This channel won’t let me post links...
Some city websites also have maps.
Another reason why I'm moving to the other side of the country
Wait until the next time the New Madrid fault system fires up...
My family lives on the other side of the country and almost got wiped out by a tornado
so basically just all the rich people who live on the water are screwed. So many hills that it doesnt seem like it would be too bad.
RUN Forest Run
Great I live right next to Belfair.
Seattle rocks, some of the commenters here have obvs never even been there lol. Good to see Tacoma and Oly won’t get hit too hard
Completely missed a much more important one. Seven fault lines intersect just north of Alki point. Usually they let go every thirty to thirty-five years. Last quake was in the 1960s. Every year the tension builds. Should have had a quake between 2000 and 2005. We are now 15 years overdue and the 7-7.5 is now expected to be a 9-9.5. Major quake right near downtown Seattle, major tsunami on Puget Sound. Another ten years and it could be off the scale. West Seattle would sink into the sound, most cities flooded, etc. No one talks about this, yet it is a part of the history of the area. I bought my home on a hill that has remained above the tsunami inundations every time just for this reason. I have water, solar panels, batteries and inverters and food. Power goes out, I’m covered. I rebuilt the house to withstand a major earthquake, so I’ll have shelter. Enough stored food for a month. Put in a 10000 gallon tank under the lawn for water. Concrete wall around the house. Set for the zombie apocalypse. Girlfriend wanted a fallout shelter, so I built one under the back yard. Her dad was in SAC and she’s paranoid about nuclear war. She’s just nuts.
The alki point fault would actually be similar or even less to what the nisqually quake was in 2001. It would be bad but not nearly as bad as the Juan De Fuca digging under the North American plate which is what this video is trying to project with the fallout from that when it releases off the coast.
I wonder about Port Angeles ... I'm about to move there. Which I'm STOAKED about
Port angles sucks full of druggies
Would it clean out Seattle and Olympia? Both need a good cleaning.
Thanks for not mentioning Tacoma...
I can just taste the seawater filling my lungs as I find myself trapped inside the Alaska way Tunnel.
Swirling around in the pitch black, crushed by tons of water, I can thank the genius of Seattle for its space age brilliance.
Thank God I'm high & dry . That sounds like a nightmare.
So a tsunami here isn't that big a deal then? Duwamish gets flooded. The place where they keep ALL THE BOATS. Lol.
Life jackets
we couldnt be that lucky
eyebrows though :-
They are so underestimating the amount. In Japan the tsunami waves came is 19’ to up 125 ft tall when it reached the shore. Easily the tsunami waves will come in 20’-30’ when they hit Seattle’s shoreline. 1st, 2nd & 3rd streets in Seattle are All from fill in & will collapse into the water
And you know this how?
@@TheMarshallCraft cuz it happened, the waves did hit 20-30 feet in some areas. but to their credit, no one could ever predidcted the exact estimate of any natural disasters. all we know is that if a wave is higher than 2meters than it's usual hit, get the hell out there
Genius Seattle is not exposed to the open ocean, the Olympic peninsula will bear the brunt taking the steam out of Pugent surge
Wetter than tsunami
Riff Raff lol that song go
The earthquake that generates a Tsunami that generates any “major” water damage is going to do far worse by the quaking than worrying about a Tsunami. How about seeing our only N S route be I 405? For years while the WSDOT argues on how to fix 5 and 99?
You do know that a Tsunami can be caused by an earthquake that is far enough away that you won’t feel the shaking, right?
@@rayk6562 yes. Your saying a similar deep ocean quake like Japan or Indonesia happens and we get 53 foot wave into Puget sound. Ok fine. Not as big a as the talked about 9.0 cascadia fault quake similar to the one the Native Americans talked about and the Chinese & Japanese recorded in jan 1700.
@@johnkruton9708 I do agree we have a lot of routes that would be unusable, regardless of whether the quake is offshore on onshore.
Thank goodness I left WA or the west coast.
I wonder if the quake app will actually work ??
most likely, cuz it'll be used the same as an Amber Alert. in Japan it's been implemented and everyone outside of the hypercenter is going to be notified few seconds before the earthquake is going to hit them, which depends how far they are from the center of the earthquake. it'll tell you to brace for impact in T minus x seconds as it count down... at least that's japan
I can only hope! LOL
If it does, I'll collect my homeowner's insurance and leave the state!!!
You only collect if you have flood insurance
I'm considering that also... Mom is in Fife flood plains just off commencement Bay at 2ft above sea level. I'm high & dry up the hill. Will have to go on a rescue mission if my house doesn't collapse on me.
I need a map of Tacoma & Fife.
I run the lake everyday and Elliot bay, a storm surge or tsunami is more of the momentum of water pushing inland and not solely based on the hight. The locks will not stand a chance. Water will accelerate over the gates and do what is does best. Move dynamically and flood.
Did everyone who searched for Seattle Tsunami Simulation try to say it 5 times fast?
It will be bad im on Vancouver Island bc
is it going flood/reach everett? if it is, will it flood everett completely?
Only the waterfront street… Most of the residential area are a few hundreds of feet high, so nothing can flood us. Even all those glacier melted would be fine.
Okay media... What is your purpose in delivering bad hypothetical scenarios & what is a person supposed to do about it???
get better insurance
How about we get to work and build a gate across the juan de fuca
if japan cant stop a 7.3Magnitude Earthquake generated tsunami by making the Longest, Biggest, Deepest Sea wall meant to stop Tsunamis, what makes you think we can stop a 9-9.5Mag Earthquake generated Tsunami, i think going up hill and double up on insurance, is going to be our best bet individually
If the city government wont help clean the streets, hopefully nature will.
Lol. Those streets are at least 50 ft above sea level. The tsunami would likely not reach the majority of streets
Wish it could wipe out all of seattle, then we can start over from scratch. We aren’t that lucky
So what I got is we can’t plan on nature washing Tacoma’s smell. What’s plan B🤷♂️
You should have been around before the Clean Air Act made them put filters on all the exhaust stacks. This is non-existent in comparison.
@@schoolingdiana9086 it was worst! can’t even imagine must have been hell’s toilet on earth
We could force big producers and ports to export/produce more sustainably. Then it won’t smell like ass.
What about Vancouver BC?
I do not think it is going over there
@@Theicyoctoling It most certainly is
@@AJ-ly8si you are very Correct!!!.
You really feel like a wall of water can rise over the Olympic peninsula and wash us out 50 miles inland?
Thats not how it works, but yes.
(It goes around, it’s a water thing)
But water flows with gravity. It's not going to completely inundate the East side. I'm just having troubles being afraid of being swallowed by the ocean in my home, while also being told that the world barely has any water.
@@shubniggurath3947
The maps do not show the east side being inundated, only the low areas near shorelines.
(However, there is geological evidence of tsunami making it all the way to Issaquah) that’s not what the current research is saying.
The probability of a CME taking out the electrical grid because of a rapidly weakening geomagnetic field, due to pole flip, is much more likely anyway.
So just relax
@@shubniggurath3947 when people talk about the world being out of water they are talking about fresh water not the massive amount of salt water in the Sound. However, like Robert said, they are talking about the low areas. So, as long as your house is up a hill or inland and protected by hills you should be safe from the tsunami.
pffft hahaha all i gotta do is go to renton highlands 5 min away
I live by Tacoma mall 🦈
Me too 😂
Let’s hope so!
just let it happen at this point
Glad I moved to MI.
Sheep
@@HOTPLATEGAMING , why am I sheep? Doesn't everyone live in Seattle still? 🤣
I live in middle of nowhere now and love it.
Yea Right. Another Crap Hole
Nice eyebrows, Vampira.
Good Seattle needs a reset
Yeah ever since the commifornians and every other person on the globe decided to flood in destroying the area..
haha thousends would die, love it! mostly poor people living in the industrial district? are they even really people if they dont have money, clean the filth, amirite?
The 520 and 90 Bridge will suffer. Possibly break away I the water hight changes too much.
Because a tsunami will pass through the locks and all the way to lake WA lol?
*_laughs in south Everett_*
When is it coming?
In year 666 is usually when the media would suggest such a thing. Being in year 40 of earth matrix we are a ways off. We can ask God for help to speed things up an they listen sometimes
Lmao what’s up with you two
no one knows for sure, but the Cascadian Earthquake happens once roughly every 250-500 years, we know that because of the Native Americans oral history(stories passed down from generation to generations) to which is why (in English) it's called "The Big One". We know that the last time this happen was in the 1700s when Lewis and Clark saw tress laying down like a carpet and ask the locals of what happened. (you can read Lewis and Clark's journals abt that). Scientists also verified these journals and stories by surveying the region and found that layers of sand-soil-sand-soil-sand-soil were present indicating a Tsunamis reached as far inland than previously thought. so to answer your question..... it'll happen someday within 200years.
What am I even looking at?
Giant waves
Please dear god let this happen. Wash the filth out of the city
King five, for fear come here...
Good, wash away everything
Evacuate the dogs and cats now.
Bring it. Clean the beautiful coast.
Clean?
Do it. All hope for Seattle is lost at this point.
“Against stupidity, the Gods themselves contend in vain.”
At least Peaceful Fires by Peaceful protesters will be put out.
Nah. The City Center Capitol Hill are all on too high ground and Capitol Hill is on the eastern side of the city so it’s going to be fine
i wuz here
Russia’s weapon?
no. Mother Nature's
We are talking hypotheticals??? You are board...
Soon
Please double check your spelling before you post. No one is made out of wood-which is what you said.
What if the tsunami washed up the dinosaurs living in tunnels under the sea? So you can see there is good cause to worry an stock up on store able foods an camping gear an survival gear an tangy tangerine™️ an super male vitality™️
@@schoolingdiana9086 😂😂😂
@@ShawnJonesHellion what if.
This shows why global warming is not a problem in Washington. Our terrains are so steep that only the waterfront streets will be flooded.
Let’s go imma be fine
You can’t survive by “I” alone that problematic thinking on your part
@@redscorpion7243 I mean with a stock pile of food and a cabin in an undisclosed location in eastern Washington. I think my family is gonna be fine we can evacuate the city to the cabin if need be
Please do God.
Dear Earth and Ocean, can you please focus on Seattle. And wipe it off the map! Thank you
cali first though
You realize how many innocent people would die if this happens right? What a shitty thing to wish upon people.
@@AJ-ly8si not really, it is like people that live in the mid west in tornado alley, or those in the south east that live in hurrican alley, if you are dumb enough to stay there.. then reap what you sow
@@soup31314 acknowledging people live in a risky area is way different from hoping they get hit by something
Lies😅 by the time it gets to Seattle it will be rough seas. Too many curves. This is just a way to distract you from enjoying life. This falls into the section called things I cannot control. Glenn is looking for a nation spot.
I. Can't. Wait. And I'm not joking. I hope for a 9.5 earth quake too. Please God.
AntiFa will save us.
