The Cascadia Fault off the coast of Oregon and Washington, if there is an earthquake, could cause the ground to sink up to 7 feet, and bring with it a tsunami. That will be Biblical.

The last great earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone occurred in January 1700, and big events are typically separated by 450 to 500 years, Dura said. However, earthquakes are not “evenly spaced” every time, she noted.

“It could happen any day, but it might not happen till 2100,” Dura said. “We want to look at that because by that time, the climate-driven sea-level rise is expected to become a bigger problem along Cascadia.”
