This U.S. State Is Most at Risk for a Catastrophic Tsunami

It's frightening that shark attacks seem to be increasing in the United States every year, but they are much more serious in one other area of our world — Australia. The total number of global shark attacks from 2012 to 2021 was 761, with 60 fatalities (per Florida Museum). Many of these attacks happened in Australia and the United States, with 259 non-fatal attacks with zero fatalities occurring in Florida and 143 attacks with 20 fatalities belonging to Australia during that same time period. Of the Australian attacks, many occur in one of the most popular surfing and tourist spots in New South Wales: Byron Bay. While the bay sees over 2 million visitors a year, it's one of the most dangerous places to swim.

Some of the world’s largest earthquakes and tsunamis have originated from the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a 1,127-kilometer (700-mile) stretch that runs from northern California up to British Columbia. Here, the Pacific Ocean floor is subducting under North America – and when the fault periodically locks and releases, it can unleash devastating megathrust earthquakes and record-breaking waves.
