Computer modeling illustrates 10 to 30-foot waves surging across the Pacific Ocean, as a result of a potential mega-earthquake in the Alaska Aleutian subduction zone.
The new tsunami modeling was based on Alaska’s 1964 Good Friday earthquake, which killed 131 people and ripped houseboats in Seattle from their Lake Union moorings.

Alaska earthquake could send 20-foot tsunami waves to WA coast in just 3.5 hours, new study warns
Three-and-a-half hours. That’s how long Washington’s coast would have before a tsunami arrives if a magnitude 9.2 earthquake strikes Alaska.
When the Pacific Ocean carried the effects of a powerful earthquake away from Russia’s far eastern coast in late July, most ...
This animation shows the simulated tsunami wave heights generated by the M8.8 earthquake. Around 70 minutes after the earthquake, the path of the SWOT satellite appears, shown in slow motion to ...
