Strange Weather

The Pacific Northwest is due for a Major Earthquake



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.

the very last of the Major Signs that will occur before the Day of Judgment. These signs include three landslides, the appearance of a smoke, the rising of the sun from the West, the appearance of a beast from the earth and finally a fire that will drive all people to a given location…

The only way a earthquake can happen in the northwest is if all the volcanos decided to explode. An that won't happen any time soon.

the imaginator August 8, 2022 at 1:12 am

Hopefully, an earthquake and tsunamis will destroy mexico, that would be better.

Yeah but all the fraking they are doing is stepping up the time table.

Moose From 64 August 10, 2022 at 4:42 am

Who narrated this. The voice sounds so familiar.

Ramona D Spedale August 11, 2022 at 9:31 pm

When you went to Devil Worship and Took the Laws down. You lost all of your Protection. Why should God feed you? Protection for you? You started this . By calling on Flames and darkness the Devils colors. You got what you want.

Susan K August 15, 2022 at 6:56 pm

Unfortunately, lots of children will die if it happens during the school day. The schools are not up to code. I wish more people cared…

Jim Wellnitz August 16, 2022 at 12:47 am

That would be awesome. Armageddon!

Jaymz Gaetz August 16, 2022 at 2:14 am

I look forward to the earthquake and tsunami ridding us of the most destructive and voracious invasive species ever to walk the earth…the californian.

Patrick Coyle August 16, 2022 at 6:35 pm

Washington DC is due too ! Since the Bidens took over ! There might not be a big earthquake for hundreds or thousands of years !

Catherine Cadungog August 18, 2022 at 4:18 am

This is all about awareness. Not to be panic or what,, but atleast to be prepared at all times,, abd being aware of what to do if it happens any time.

mash August 19, 2022 at 8:51 pm

Im confuse… why are they not mentioning the japan earthquake when they mention the big one they only mention the 1700 earthquake.

Horse No Name August 24, 2022 at 12:45 am

Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And (G)there were noises, thunderings, (H)lightnings, (I)and an earthquake.

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Margrit Neuenhagen August 25, 2022 at 1:22 pm

I don’t understand why this group of indigenous people are not recognized y the government. If they are natives of Canada, they also need their rights !

Sherwin Jose August 25, 2022 at 6:29 pm

Who says that the east is due for an earth quake? Why say that? I wish earth cracks open like an egg so humanity is challenged.

Ruben Donez August 25, 2022 at 10:23 pm

Shane Smith August 27, 2022 at 7:31 am

LOL, God is coming soon. There will be a HUGE earthquake such as the world has never seen. Wait for it…..

Robert Hepburn August 28, 2022 at 3:55 am

I'm 66 and I have to say that all my life the Big one has been coming!
They are right it's going to happen sooner or later and I hope to be dead and gone before it happens!
The devastation will be like nothing in our Nations history with the loss of life and the buildings the roads and airports everything gone

Robert Hepburn August 28, 2022 at 3:57 am

The lumbee's of south eastern NC are not recognized either

Dave Henderson August 30, 2022 at 3:39 am

And thats why i don't live on the coast.

Andrew Valentin August 30, 2022 at 12:14 pm

Wow, we don’t recognize the Chinook, but named one of our largest helicopters after them.

Richard Sinclair August 30, 2022 at 7:10 pm

How about California?

Gunner Mitchell August 31, 2022 at 12:08 pm

In my honest opinion the earthquakes are caused because the Earth is shifting

Ryan N September 4, 2022 at 2:53 pm

There's no such thing as being "due" for an earthquake. The probability of one is the same today as it was 100 years ago. Stop spreading misconceptions.

Eric Jones' September 4, 2022 at 6:08 pm

Remember the one we had, which was a 6.8,they can happen at any time and to see the streets move like waves on the ocean that was scary
