The Cascadia Subduction Zone is a fracture in the Earth's crust roughly 100 kilometers offshore, running 1,100 kilometers from Northern California to Northern Vancouver Island. This fault generates monster earthquake about every 500 years. There is roughly a 30 percent chance that just such a disaster could happen within the next fifty years. Or it could happen tonight.
