In a March episode of
PBS Terra‘s “Weathered,” meteorologist and host Maiya May showed how vulnerable the Pacific Northwest is to the so-called “Big One” earthquake along Cascadia. She said that this disaster would likely cause more damage to the U.S. than the magnitude 9 Tohoku earthquake did to Japan in 2011.
“Here on the West Coast of the United States, we’re nowhere near as prepared as Japan was for this kind of disaster,” May said.
It can tell an earthquake’s magnitude in an instant and is home to the world’s biggest flood infrastructure. Most of its buildings are also earthquake-proof, something that served the nation well during the first few minutes of the 2011 disaster.
SALEM, Ore.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has determined that a large earthquake which is expected to occur again in the Pacific Northwest sooner or later could cause the spillway gates of a dam in Oregon to buckle, resulting “in a potentially catastrophic flood.”
The Corps said late Monday that it would try to minimize the danger by reducing the maximum height of the lake by five feet starting in April. Hundreds of thousands of people, including those in Salem, Oregon’s capital, live downstream from the Detroit Dam, whose construction in the 1950s created the narrow, nine-mile-long Detroit Lake.
Officials: Potential earthquake damage to Detroit Dam could lead to ‘catastrophic flood’
