Cowan could a tsunami similar to the one that devastated japan five years ago this week wreak the same kind of havoc along our Northern Pacific coast . Unfortunately the experts say, its just a matter of time. Our sunday morning cover story is reported by don dahler. In march 2011, the world watched in awe and horror as a colossal tsunami ravage the eastern japan. The result of a 9. 0 magnitude earthquake. Entire cities were washed away. Millions stranded without power or water. 15,000 died. It was an otherworldly event, thousands of miles away. Thank goodness many of us thought, it couldnt happen here. But it could happen here. In fact Scientists Say its a question of when, not if, a devastating earthquake, followed by a huge tsunami, strikes the continental United States right here in the Pacific Northwest. This would be like five or six katrinas all at once up and down from california to canada would be the closest thing i can think of. It may sound like a hollywood disaster movie. But its not. This is the future for the regions seven Million People, says Chris Goldfinger of paleoseismologist at oregon state university. In fact his Research Shows much of the region is overdue for a major quake. The last one was back in 1700, long before there were large cities right in harms way. If it happens any time soon it would just devastate the area. Goldfinger estimates theres a one in three chance the quake will strike some time in the next 50 years. Would you say that were prepared for Something Like this . Were not completely unprepared. But were pretty darn close. On a scale of one to ten were probably a little shy of one at this point. This is ground zero, the 700 mile long area off the Pacific Coast called the cascadia subduction zone, where the north american tectonic plate meets another plate known as the juan de fuca. Image here is literally sliding under the lighter image. Theyre converging but still stuck. What happens is the weaker plate which is new york america buckles. Something is going to give, the coastline thats been jacked up over 500 years or so is going to drop about a meter in a minute or so. And thats just the earthquake. Next, as we saw in japan, comes the tsunami, with waves as high as 50 feet roaring on shore reaching miles inland. Its a threat the government says its taking seriously. But is fema ready for the big one . I would never say we are ready. Ken murphy is the administrator for fema region ten. These represents the roads that can be affected by the earthquake or be the tsunami. The agency has spent years preparing the federal response. Femas best Case Scenario, 10,000 dead. And thats assuming no beach tourists, which would lead to their worst Case Scenario simply too verifying to contemplate. Depending on when it happens. Were talking numbers that this nation im not sure is really prepared to deal with. Potentially the greatest Natural Disaster this country has ever experienced . I would say it has the potential for that. This is an event you send everything to and scale back down if you dont need it. The quake could displace a Million People from Northern California to southern canada. Large parts of seattle, portland and vancouver will crumble. In coastal towns, roads and bridges will likely be impassable, stranding whole communities. The regions economy could collapse. Rebuilding might take years, even decades. And few places are more at risk than this one, its seaside oregons school complex. 1500 students in four aging buildings. Superintendent Doug Dougherty. Structural engineers tell us that a vast majority of building will collapse in a seismic event. Three of seasides four schools are also in the tsunami zone. In fact agents high school is just feet away from the Pacific Ocean. The students and staff if they are able to evacuate earthquake have between 15 and 20 minutes to get to high ground. 1. 3 miles, thats one of those other pieces that keeps me awake at night. 100 miles to the north in westport, washington, acosta elementary is another school with seemingly no way out. It builds its own way out straight up. A new School Building currently under construction offers safe and high ground right on its roof. Its the countrys first vertical evacuation structure with walls 44 feet high and 14 inches thick. Run as fast as you can, get up into the tsunami safe area. Superintendent Paula Akerland says voters approved an additional 2 million for the emergency structure. The community, you know, they were looking at the safety of not just their children now, but generations in the future. This is not an affluent community. It was a huge commitment. Other evacuation plans and seismic upgrades are taking place. But not nearly fast enough, say the experts. Back at aside, oregon, three years ago, the School District did try moving all its students to a new campus. But when they found out it would take an 18 property tax increase, the voters rejected the measure by a margin of almost two to one. Were you surprised . Oh, i was not only surprised but heartbroken. It was just very, very expensive to foot the bill entirely. I hope people dont understand the implications of their decisions because that would basically be writing off an entire School Districts student population. With no money from the state or the federal government, Doug Dougherty says hes planning to retire and work for another Ballot Campaign for a new campus. As for oregon states Chris Goldfinger, he continues to warn about a disaster that science says, is just a mat are of time. This is going to scare a lot of people. Well, i dont think thats a bad thing. If you are really well prepared prepared and the infrastructure hardened, that can be the end of it. Nothing you can do about that. Got to give children.

Cowan now a page from our sunday morning almanac, march 6, 1970. 46 years ago today. The day home grown terrorism blew a historic new york city home to bits. Got to get doors. Cowan that was the day a bomb accidentally exploded in a 19th century Greenwich Village townhouse, a building once owned by stockbroker chairs merrill, one of the founders of merrill lynch. The bomb was being assembled by members of the weather underground, a radical leftwing group that took its name from the bob lilian hire rick, you dont need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. Three members of the group were killed out right two. Others, kathy boudin and Cathy Wilkerson whose fare owned the house. The young woman who escaped the townhouse during the explosions. Cowan in the confusion that followed actor Dustin Hoffman was spotted retrieving valuables from his apartment in the townhouse next door. After years on the run, Kathy Wilkerson voluntarily surrendered in 1980. She would serve less than a year in prison. Among the four suspects of the catherine boudin. Kathy boudin was arrested for her role in 1981 brinks truck robbery that left three people dead. She was paroled in 2003 and was later, not without controversy, appointed adjunct professor at Columbia University in 2013. As for the Greenwich Village townhouse, a new owner rebuilt it in the late 1970s in an eyecatching and distinctly non19th century style. It changed hands in late 201 for reported 9. 25 million.

Cowan weve already done this room, says one modern viewer. Along with the goodnature the ribbing modern art has received much acclaim over the years, few have been more acclaimed than Jackson Pollock who died 60 years ago this coming august. One period of his career has tended to be overlooked, an omission that rita braver is about to correct. Jackson pollocks complex and colorful, multilayered canvases took the International Art world by storm beginning in the plate 1960s. There was painting before Jackson Pollock and theres painting after jackson pollack. The curator of a new pollock exhibit at the Dallas Museum of art. How many pieces are in this . Over 70 works by Jackson Pollock in the exhibition. There are some of the paintings for which pollock is best known. Theres this sodium orange, this glistening orange line. But the exhibit focuses mostly on a series done in 1951, when Jackson Pollock painted only in black. Some levels you might say it looks like a doodle. Its doodley because hes still thinking it through. Can i make paintings exclusively using black on raw cotton substrate that can maintain the tightness and excitement of my classic painting. This is the moment that the penny drops. But the events surrounding that moment comprise a tale of triumph and tragedy. Paul Jackson Pollock was born in 1912 in cody, wyoming. One of five sons. The family bounced around the southwest trying to eek out a living. Still poll looks mother encouraged his early is into in art. He took art classes those were the only classes he really seemed to be very good at. Helen harrison, who runs the pollock home and study center near easthampton, long island, says that at age 18, pollock traveled to new york to study with american muralist thomas hart benton, whose influence can be seen in poll looks early work. Gradually, however, pollock became fascinated with ab traction. His work drew the attention of gallery owners. As dramatized in the 2000 biopic starring ed harris, Jackson Pollock had a serious drinking problem. No so in 1946, his wife, lee krasner herself an accomplished painter, convinced him to move here. There was incentive to get him away from the drinking buddies but to give him the space and the mental space that he needed to really develop himself, and he did. It was here as this rare footage shows, that pollock developed the style that really made him famous, dripping and pouring paint directly on to canvas. I usually paint on the floor. I enjoy working on a large canvas. Having the canvas on the floor i feel nearer, more a part of the painting. Although the work was puzzling to some, as this Norman Rockwell painting playfully illustrates, by 1949, life magazine was asking if Jackson Pollock was americas greatest painter. As a matter of fact most of the people who wrote their letters to the editor over 500 of them in response said snacks no but those who did like it were crazy about it. Some did call him jack the dripper. This was pollocks studio from 1946 until his death. His studio is still splattered with his paint. Plus a few footprints. Just the sales of pollocks works were taking off he started to work in black with recognizable images peeking through. It seems like you can see a head, an ear, arms, whats going on . It is part of the transition of the black paintings that pollock starts to resuscitate or bring back to life some of the figuration that had previously dominated. Did anybody rush out and buy them . No. Sadly not. No . People were confused, why would someone who has just developed a new language of painting go off on a tangent, but it was pollock distilling and purifying everything he had learned. Pollock would return to color. But by the mid 1950s he was drinking again a
