DVD Description
Uses earthquake survivors' account and interviews with experts to uncover the significant earthquake dangers that are unique to Cascadia, the region that surrounds the Cascade mountain range, extending from southern British Columbia to northern California.
Discusses the effects of previous earthquakes in the region, including the 1964 Alaska earthquake and the 2001 Nisqually Quake.
Kato's Comment - Aug. 15, 2012
If you live in the northwest of America---that is, Cascadia, you should be prepared for a giant earthquake.
Since 10,000 years ago, 18 earthquakes of magnitude 9 and over (equal to the East Japan Great Earthquake that devastated Fukushima and its surrounding areas in Japan on March 11, 2011) have caused catastrophic damages on the coasts of Cascadia.
Seemingly, a super-quake occurs approximately every 500 years.
The last super-quake attacked Cascadia on January 19, 1700.
So, a super-quake might take place along the Cascadia subduction zone any time because 312 years has already passed since the last super-quake.
Mind you, a 500-years cycle is an approximation.
If you're in doubt, watch the DVD for yourself.

But, Kato, how do you know that the super quake occurred in 1700?
A certain geologist dug up the old layers of the earth near Vancouver and found out the trace of giant tsunamis that had taken place 18 times since 10,000 years ago.
Amazing!
Besides, the 1700 super-quake was recorded in the Japanese chronicle.

Why on earth in the Japanese chronicle?
Well ..., the super quake in 1700 created the super tsunami, which hit the pacific coast of Japan.

The Japanese people at the time were totally puzzled because they didn't felt any quake at all.
So scientists found out recently that the 1700 super quake caused the super tsunami that devastated the pacific region of Japan, didn't they?
You're telling me, Diane.
But I can hardly believe that a big one is coming to Vancouver.
Well..., I searched for the video clip on the Net so that you could understand the imminent danger caused by a super-quake.
Did you get it, Kato?
Yes, I did. Here it is.

Amazing! ... Unbelievable!
Seeing is believing, isn't it?
I wish I hadn't seen it.
Diane, a super quake is coming to Vancouver for sure.
I hope not.

You must face the reality, though nobody can tell exactly when a big one will come.
If a super quake occurs every 500 years, then we still have 188 years before the estimated super quake in 2200.
Diane, the 500-year cycle is an approximation. A super quake may occur tomorrow. Nobody knows for sure, but the big one will certainly come in the future.
I hope, a super quake won't hit Vancouver in my lifetime.

So, Kato, do you think the top of Vancouver will be toppled down when a mega earthquake hits Vancouver?
Yes, that's a possibility, isn't it?

So the top of Vancoure revolving restaurant might disappear in the case of a mega quake... That's why you went up there with Mayumi and enjoyed dinner with her, isn't it?

You're telling me, Diane. You wouldn't be able to visit World Trade Center in New York, would you?
So, Kato, you enjoyed the Vancouver view from the top of Vancouver before a meg quake hits Vancouver. Is that it?
Yes, you're right on.
