Recently, geologists have predicted that any time between now and the next 50 years there is a chance of a large tsunami hitting the coast of oregon. This tsunami will have the same, if not stronger, strength than Katrina and the damage will be an unimaginable amount. They predict that even if people are prepared for this tsunami, they will still be in extreme shock at the amount of damage this 80-100 foot high wave will produce. The tsunami will be triggered by an earthquake about 50 to 75 miles off the coast of Oregon from the Cascadia subduction zone. Only a generation ago, geologists did not even think this subduction zone could create earthquakes, but now after doing further studies on the area they are sure that it can not only create earthquakes, but can create the next biggest disaster to hit America.
