Scientists have detected a tectonic phenomenon never seen before, with the ground under the US Pacific Northwest slowly cracking apart. Coverage from ScienceDaily notes that the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a major fault line, poses a significant tsunami risk.

However, the exact cause of the phenomenon and its potential consequences are still unclear, with some outlets suggesting that the 'big one' might not come alone, citing the possibility of two major West Coast faults striking back to back.
