Publisher's Synopsis
Off the shore of the U.S. Pacific Northwest is a fault in the crust of the earth where the continental tectonic plate and the Pacific tectonic plate grind against each other as the earth's land masses migrate across the surface of the planet spanning millions of years. This fault is called Cascadia and it is capable of altering the structure of land surfaces when the forces of the plates pushing against each other are released in a fraction of a second to spawn unimaginably destructive earthquakes and tsunami waves.Follow the catastrophic events as they unfold as told through the experiences of over 60 families caught in the path of not only earthquakes and tsunami waves, but the pyroclastic flows and lahars unleashed by simultaneous eruptions spawned by the earthquakes of two iconic Cascade Range dormant volcanoes.What unfolds is documented as the single most catastrophic natural disaster in all of recorded human history that devastates three states and staggers the entire country's foundation on a scale that is epic. There are no winners in this story, only survivors, and those are the stories to be told.
