Cascadia Earthquake January 26, 1700
The 1700 Cascadia Earthquake is one of the most significant seismic events in recent North American history. This earthquake occurred on January 26, 1700, along the Cascadia Fault, a major tectonic fault located in the subduction zone between the Juan de Fuca plate and the North American plate, in the Pacific Northwest region of North America, which includes parts of Canada and the United States (especially the states of Washington, Oregon, and southern British Columbia).
Characteristics of the Earthquake:
- Magnitude: It is estimated that the earthquake had a magnitude of 9.0 or greater on the Richter scale, classifying it as a megathrust earthquake. This type of earthquake is capable of causing immense devastation and tsunamis.
- Affected Area: The earthquake impacted a vast region, from Northern California to Southern Canada, and also affected parts of Vancouver Island and the Alaska coast. Its epicenter was located offshore, in the subduction zone, about 80 kilometers from the coast.
- Duration and Seismic Effects: The earthquake likely lasted between 3 and 5 minutes. It is estimated that the uplift of the seabed due to the release of energy generated a massive tsunami that affected the coasts of Japan, as evidenced by historical records from that country.
Consequences:
- Tsunami: The earthquake produced a massive tsunami that impacted the coasts of the Pacific Northwest. In addition to the devastation in the region near the epicenter, this tsunami also reached the coasts of Japan, where it was documented in the country's historical records.
- Geological Changes: The earthquake caused significant vertical displacement of the land. In some coastal areas, regions that were underwater were raised by several meters, while in other areas, land sank, altering the coastal landscape. These movements also affected the geography of the islands and river dynamics.
- Impact on Indigenous Communities: Although there are no written records from the time of the earthquake, the indigenous peoples who inhabited the region left oral accounts of the event. Additionally, archaeologists have found evidence of flooding and changes in sea levels in their settlements, confirming the occurrence of this natural disaster.
- Absence of European Records: In 1700, the region was not inhabited by European settlers, so there are no direct written accounts from the affected people. However, the existence of tsunami records in Japan helped scientists date and study the event.
Modern Discovery and Study: The Cascadia earthquake was not known until much later, when scientists were able to correlate geological evidence and oral accounts from indigenous peoples. Additionally, historical records from Japan were crucial in accurately dating the event.
Today, this earthquake is studied as a model to understand large earthquakes that may occur along the Cascadia Fault, as it is believed that earthquakes of this magnitude could recur in the future.
In summary, the 1700 Cascadia earthquake was a catastrophic seismic event that affected vast areas of the Pacific Northwest, leaving a legacy in the geological and cultural history of the region.
Time from the Earthquake to July 11, 2025:
325 years, 5 months, and 14 days (this is a quintuple number five, 3+2 = 5.5.5.1+4 = 5 total: 5.5.5.5.5)
118,870 days (11.7.16 (6+1 = 7)
Supposedly, the Cascadia earthquake occurred at 9:00 PM, so if we assume the 2025 earthquake will occur in the morning, we will have the nodes very aligned.
We also notice an exact alignment of Jupiter with Uranus in Cancer, with the 7th degree of Cancer seeming to be a preferred position for major seismic events. There is a curious alignment of the Moon with Lilith in Capricorn, showing the Black Moon next to the Moon. On the other hand, Neptune's position is almost exact on both dates, revealing that the nature of the "Big One" earthquake will be very similar to the Cascadia earthquake (including the tsunami).
