The West Coast is overdue for a massive earthquake along the San Andreas fault, a fracture in the Earth 's crust that spans 800 miles in California .

The anticipated magnitude-8 quake would wreak havoc upon the state's famous cities, causing roughly 1,800 deaths, 50,000 injuries and $200 billion in damage.

In 2024 , there were 27 billion-dollar catastrophes in the US - and those were just weather and climate-related events - but scientists have long warned that the worst is yet to come.

Mount Rainier has not produced a significant eruption in more than 1,000 years , but experts keep a very close eye on it due to its potential to blow at any time.

Nearly 90,000 people live within its danger zone, including residents of Seattle , Tacoma , and Yakima in Washington , as well as Portland , Oregon .
