Just to make it clear: this was a strike slip earthquake offshore of Northern California and NOT a subduction type event on the Cascadia subduction zone! So no significant tsunami would be expected.

Fuck you
No, really. Fuck all the way off the continent into a subduction zone and keep fucking off all the way down to the blueschist facies

This is a VERY large earthquake, possibly/probably among the 10 largest ever recorded. A clear subduction zone megathrust event. And it is another M>8.5 event with a notable foreshock (the recent M7.4 in same location), like Tohoku in 2011.

Scientists captured a subduction zone beneath the Pacific Northwest breaking apart as the Juan de Fuca plate fragments while sinking. This “tearing” process may explain past plate remnants and improve understanding of earthquake risks

A M8.8 earthquake just ruptured the subduction zone offshore Russia’s Kamchatka peninsula. This is one of the world’s truly huge earthquakes, and a triggered tsunami is currently traveling across the Pacific ocean.
This same fault ruptured on July 20th in a M7.4, and last August in a M7.1.

Our new paper on earthquake records in the Cascadia Subduction Zone is out today!
The goal of our work is to reduce uncertainty in the timing and frequency of large earthquakes by investigating how and where subduction earthquake-triggered deposits are formed. 🧪⚒️🌊
