Mega-tsunami warning: 1k-ft waves to hit US Pacific Coast? Scientist raises alarm

Scientists warn of a potential mega-tsunami threatening the US Pacific Coast, sparked by a major earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ), with a 15% chance of a magnitude 8.0 quake in the next 50 years. The study highlights urgent preparations needed as a tsunami could generate waves up to 1,000 feet, risking millions of lives, infrastructure, and ecosystems, particularly in southern Washington, northern Oregon, and northern California.
