Ehh.... my mom was reading the Korean newspaper that the people who studies earthquake and tsunami said that they predict that there will be another earthquake and tsunami in washington state. My mom didn't tell me when..... cause it didn't say it. So I was wondering if you guys heard about that too. Why my place? Why does it have to be my place? And I heard that it will be worse than the tsunami from southeast asia The people who studies earthquake and tsunami was also the people who predicted the tsunami's in southeast asia... I don't know who to trust right now. I wish this was just some prank. Or not this year. I hope it's like in a million years later.

whoa, never heard of such a thing yet. WORSE than southeast asia?! damn, thats scary. i hope its not true. well at least ur warned!

I heard that from a tv program. It said that an island somewhere in Africa may break down some time in the future and cause tsunamis in the coastal area of America.

But it's not like it's this year, is it? I don't want to move again!!

eeeeeeeeeeeek!!!!!

i hope that isn't true. that would be terrible! it wouldn't hit washington; it would hit other states and cities nearby.


if the island is by africa, than wouldn't the tsunami hit the east side of the us?

oh wow....I dunno
thats scary though.
but hopefully not.

I saw that also.
The thought of it is just scary

i doubt it will happen. more likely in california state.

Not just for Washington state, the threat is in both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans and according to this ABC News article, the US government is planing to install a tsunami warning system.

And that's what I get for living near the ocean!
But, I live near the atlantic ocean in NJ. I'm fearful of tsunamis.

look on th3e bright side, at least the asian tsunami has taugt people to pay attention to the warnings. at least6 your forewarned, and you'll be able to evacuate if an earthquake happens out at sea, before the tsunami hits

ah crap, my cool grandma lives there!! Imma give her a call..

they're nore likely to happen in hawaii, alaska, cali, anbd florida

i live in cali, so yea

well that whole tsunami thing in the US was really based on a prediction by a meteorologist... like niez_cho said.. it was said that there will be some seismic activity in the Atlantic Ocean, causing large amounts of land falling in the water... this will in turn cause tsunami to the States...

most scientists don't believe in this prediction because of the event of such huge seismic activity is unlikely... so you have nothing to worry about... and US already has tsunami warning system in place.

I live in arkansas. lucky me. Well that really sucks.....and I dont know how it could get any worse than the SE Asia tsunami....AHHH

I live in Oregon, so if a tsunami does come, it will get blocked by mountains. But another tsunami..

hmm yeah i'm on the west coast too...up in vancouver, canada. bleh.

In Science we watched a discovery channel movie, scientist predicted that there would be a megatsunami on the east coast.. reaching all the way to NY. ;/ and they said it'd probably happen in our lifetime. x_X

i haven't heard of the washington one though.

I think it's some bullcrap that people hated us so they want to said something bad will happen to U.S. I dont belive it unless our U.S scientist let us know about his discovery.

i never heard about washington state..well i live in hawaii so it can happen anytime so we have this civil defense system...it tells us when its coming and stuff so we can run...lol..anywhere thats close to a ocean can be affected..but i never heard anything about washington...sorry..

the tsunami thats gonna hit the west coast isn't gonna b that bad though... i shouldn't hav to worry since i live in the east bay of the bay area (san francisco) and theres mountians blocking the ocean view.

The tsunami generated by the huge landslide yadayadayada probably isn't going to happen long after you're dead. So.. you shouldn't worry about it. At all.
Worry about something else.. like not worrying too much or something.

Are you serious?? California i live in that state i dont want that to happen to us or any other state
