PORTLAND, Oregon (The Adobo Chronicles® )  – Off the coast of Oregon, a pair of tectonic plates are now grinding up against one another under the Pacific Ocean which will inevitably result in the worst natural disaster in the history of North America, writes journalist Kathryn Schulz in a terrifying new article published this week in the New Yorker, titled “The Really Big One.”

A massive earthquake will lay waste to thousands of homes and buildings, devastate the power grid and energy infrastructure, and even do things like causing the edge of the continent to drop by as much as 30 feet and liquefying solid ground.

A mega-tsunami that would arrive onshore across the Northwestern coast within 15 minutes of the earthquake’s strike, creating a “700-mile-long liquid wall” would render the region “unrecognizable.” It will result in the deaths of 13,000 people or more, as well as more than 1 million left homeless, and the need to provide food and water for more than 2 million for perhaps months to come.

It’s a scenario that renders the Hollywood film, ‘San Andreas,’ seem like a fairy tale.

As a result of this prediction, the Pacific Northwest has seen an overwhelming exodus of residents moving to the East Coast, Hawaii and Las Vegas where the sale of condominium units in high-rise buildings has skyrocketed.

Home prices in Seattle and Portland have dropped by almost 75% in just the last few days and the number of employees quitting their  jobs has reached several thousands.

Reacting to the panic situation, President Barack Obama appealed to all Americans to remain calm, noting that earthquake prediction in America is still in its infant stages, and that a mass exodus from the Pacific Northwest to other regions would only create more problems in states that are already dealing with issues of migration and overpopulation.
