The 1700 Cascadia earthquake occurred along the Cascadia subduction zone on January 26, 1700, with an estimated moment magnitude of 8.7–9.2. The megathrust earthquake involved the Juan de Fuca plate from mid-Vancouver Island, south along the Pacific Northwest coast as far as northern California. The plate slipped an average of 20 meters (66 ft) along a fault rupture about 1,000 kilometers (600 mi) long. Westen Travels - November 2022, Siletz Bay Oregon | Vincent Easley II

🌎 NORTH AMERICA SEISMIC WATCH | AWARENESS REEL ⚠️ Subtle changes beneath Earth’s surface are drawing attention across major tectonic zones. Increased tremors and plate stress remind us that the planet is always adjusting — often quietly, without warning. This reel highlights areas to monitor during periods of elevated seismic activity. It is not a prediction and does not confirm that an earthquake will occur. 📍 Regions to Monitor: • Pacific Northwest: Washington, Oregon, coastal British Columb
