Imagine A Mega-Tsunami…
I have a secret passion for re-enactments.
No, not like the Civil War stuff. More like what’s featured on shows like Surviving Disaster and, one of my all-time favorites, Unsolved Mysteries.
So you can only imagine my delight to see — well, not really a re-enactment — but a really “dramatic interpretation” of what a mega-tsunami hitting the Oregon Coast might look like.
Ah, poor little town of Seaside. Watch the havoc ensue!
One thought on “Imagine A Mega-Tsunami…”
The mega-tsunami is definitely a matter of 'when', not 'if' it will hit. However, Oregon is pretty well prepared for tsunamis and in an oddity of population settlement patterns the bulk of the population in the Pacific Northwest is no where near the ocean. We don't have to worry about 3 million people all trying to reach higher ground. I grew up in Hawaii, where tsunamis are a very real threat given that any major earthquake in the pacific rim of fire can cause a disaster. If you want to see more simulations of tsunamis hitting the Oregon coast, Oregon State University has a great website for live watching at the world-renown Wave Research Laboratory in Corvallis, including a simulated model of Seaside being hit.
