This is a hypothesis, and excellent doomer story.
The rigid Pacific plate joins the Alaska and Russian seismic zones together, and it is currently working up to a 'shaped-charge megatsunami' with a 30 m slosh.
I only have the nerve to put this out because I only have 6 readers. The hypothesis is easily tested by the next M8+ earthquake. If that goes as I expect, then the doomer story is at 1 in 100, and I expect to see it soon.
This came in an intense brain storm at night that I had to beat down with a stick. You will notice the point of a shaped charge where the two zones meet, and the Hawaii hot spots originate. The earthquakes are currently playing a game of ping-pong, with Alaska against Russia.
The hypothesis has the Pacific plate being rigid and getting jammed into that corner. It is on the move right now. It is tested by having the expected response to the 'ping' of the Russian M8+. I'm expecting a response of an Alaskan M8+. If that happens, the hypothesis advances, if not, no harm, no foul.
The two M8's synchronize the plate boundaries. They set up the twin M9.5's that happen next. This forms a shaped-charge mega-tsunami. The movement of the plate sends off a slosh of 30 m. The standard ding-dongs can only imagine a 10 m tsunami.
In fact, there is lots of geological evidence of the 'Meg'. However, they have always associated it with a Cascadia earthquake. That parrot is dead! It is a mucky fault, which shows it almost never blows, maybe every thousand years or so. The geological and aboriginal evidence is for a Meg, which has clean faults, and goes every 300 years.
The Meg, when it happens will be greatly underestimated. They have no direct measurements, everything is derived, in a very uncalibrated way. People will go to the usual highlands, but it will not be enough. The slosh (not a wave) will bounce off the shore, and hit everything in the Pacific. We have an estimate of an untold number of deaths.
As I have said, it is not even worth worrying about until the reflected M8+. That may never happen, and it means the hypothesis fails, and I go back to the drawing room. My physics has failed.
If it happens, then there is nothing you can do. I can't imagine escaping this thing. If I were a billionaire on the coast, I would have a fast boat.
Since nobody reads me, I can put this out. My Arties can chew it up and spit it out.
ps my stomach is acting up just thinking of this. I'll need more drugs.
ps I'm playing a mind trick on myself with the need for a reflected M8. In fact, since the ping-pong game is upping a magnitude each time, it can go right into the Meg. I'm knocking myself out now.
ps THOUGHT CLOSED OUT. After heavy drugs, I have convinced myself that the odds are that of standard city dooms - local earthquake, fire, flood, plague, etc. at 1 in 10,000 per year. World dooms - nuclear war, asteroid impact, etc, are at 1 in ten million. Nobody is doing the physics, nobody should care. End of story.
ps individual doom (driving, hit by a bus, etc) is exactly the same as city doom, of one in ten thousand per year. There should be no anxiety over this, or you are a basket case.
