Cascadia Subduction

possible mother nature

happening

Is this something to be worried about? I came across this video on /pol/. And have no idea what to think of it. Excuse the cringey music.

tl;dw please?

40,000 instantaneous casualties from the collapsing buildings and a tsunami that hits the coast 10 minutes after the shaking stops

The potential for a 9.6 earthquake shaking the coast for up to six minutes; crumbling roads and bridges, pushing electrical poles straight out of the ground, felling trees, triggering mudslides, and maybe even causing the eruption of Mount Rainier

All the ports get fucked, all the roads get fucked, the mountain explodes putting up walls of mud over the broken roads - help could not come from the sea, would have to come by helicopter if by air, and would have to rebuild the roads if coming by truck

I live just west of I-5 and in the path of one of the largest lahar flows from Rainier

I am going to be a refugee a mile away from my home

tl;dr there will be no help for anyone or anything West of I-5 and we're going to see 50% depopulation within 3-4 months in Washington and Oregon

Are you fucking kidding?

>A general description of who will die

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=804K6i4It1w

>Pretty much how it will look

The Cascadian Subduction zone has the potential to unleash an earthquake with sixty times the power of the San Andreas fault line

Imagine these things happening to the area where you live

>Pipes breaking

>Power lines falling

>Roads shearing apart

>Foundations cracking

>Homes collapsing

>Trees falling

>Gas lines severing

Now think about what those things do to your community

>Water stops flowing into your home, your home may partially flood

>Power is no longer delivered to your home or the community, there is no electric heat, lighting, or refrigeration

>Roads become impassable, tarmacs are unusable for landing medium and large planes

>Windows break from flexing frames, roofs cave in, houses collapse, and many become unsafe to live in

>Trees further take down power, smash cars, destroy homes, and block road access

>Flammable gas is now seeping into homes and businesses and the threat of fires and explosions are very real

All of that is just in the first hour or two, so if you weren't at the beach, hit by debris, or pulled down into the broken earth you're going to be alive

Alive to deal with the aftermath

>No water

>No power

>No sanitation

>No food delivery

>No immediate emergency aid

>Minimal shelter

>Minimal medical care

>Minimal law enforcement

Which all leads to

>Dehydration

>Waterborne illness

>Hypothermia

>Food based diseases

>Waste based diseases

>Malnutrition

>Starvation

>Shock

>Infection

>Exposure

>Amputation to treat infection and trauma

>Death during childbirth

>Looting

>Rape

>Murder

All of which contribute to the chances of people dying and getting injuries/diseases/disorders that make them much more likely to die

No help will come because it can't come; there aren't functioning roads, ports, or airstrips right where there need to be

I myself will be right between the tsunami disaster zone and the potential lahar flow

Me and everyone living around me will be double fucked by refuges heading East and extreme geographic bottlenecks to the West

At least if we were EMPd we would still have our roads and homes, even if help wasn't coming for months or years

This is literally one of the worst things that could happen to a population that isn't an extinction event

Did you take any precautions? Do you have a place to move to when government issues an alert? or there would be no time?

People would only get an hour or two worth of warning if the systems in place detected anything

A couple minutes before the shaking starts everything in the region will feel a jolt of energy as a pressure wave jarrs the surface

Animals will be freaking out and people might feel something strange but that's about it

Unless you have very advanced warning with plans in place or you hop into some sort of aircraft you're going to be in for the ride of your life

You'll have to get under something sturdy and hold on for what feels like hours

Then you have to get out before the next wave hits

A tsunami will be heading for the coast and will make landfall in 10 to 15 minutes, and another will hit Japan in some number of hours

Aftershocks could bring down additional structures and break down people's resolves even further

Landslides are a given, but the big question is will it trigger volcanic activity

I'm running up and out of the valley after anything like this happens

thats the main bit to worry about. The niggers and spiks will go on a 6 month chimpout.

Actually my main worry is disease and lack of food water and shelter

Water will have to be boiled and food won't last as long

People will be shitting and pissing everywhere, not to mention dying and rotting the place up

Water comes up from the ground where I live but it could be covered in pyroclastic flow and easily become infected with cholera and other bugs from immigrants

Stored food will run out in about a week for most people, and looting stores will only prolong that about another week

I have an electrically powered wood pellet burning stove in my home that wouldn't be able to run unless it had power and high quality compressed sawdust

We will definitely see people breaking apart furniture and burning it in barrels to stay warm


 No.7501

have excavators and bulldozers on standby with shitloads of fuel. immediately grade a runway, well enough for air-delivery of necessities. then a few main roads accessible to a majority for intermediate dispersal.

well that's one idea anyway just to get it started. there will be tons of people needing help and supplies...


 No.7527

>>7221

Eh. Majority of Chile is on geology like that and they don't give a fuck.
