The tsunami, which could hit populated shores in just 15 minutes from a magnitude nine undersea overdue earthquake, would be caused by seismic activity in the Cascadia Subduction Zone – and should happen on average every 240 years.

But scientists, who warn that more needs to be done to prepare for the impending disaster, say the last one was 315 years ago -so it is 75 years overdue.

Chris Goldfinger, Oregon State earthquake geologist, is warning of the imminent risk.

The problem lies with the subduction zone where it meets the Oceanic Plate and is slowly forced beneath the North American plate

The Cascadia Subduction Zone is seventy miles off America’s Pacific Northwest and stretches all the way from Vancouver Island to Northern California.

Mr Goldfinger said: “It buckles upward and it gets pushed backward like a spring until eventually, after a few hundred years, it just has to let go.”

This is what triggers a massive tidal surge and the tsunami

The scientist and his team were the first to discover the next |”Big One” is long over due.

His team has collected samples of sediment from the ocean floor to look at movement.

They say that the signs that came before the 2011 Japanese tsunami which claimed 16,000 lives are happening around the subduction zone, but the US was not prepared for its effects.

Fears have heightened after a video emerged of a surge of water submerging Joe Creek near Pacific Beach in Washington state.

The footage, shot by Irene Sumi, shows a “rogue” wave rolling in and reaching inland.

She said the wave brought in logs and debris, while witnesses were left shaken up by the unexpected surge, and fear it could be a warning before the Big One.

He said: “There’s nothing that compares to a magnitude 9 earthquake that North America has experienced in human history.”

Although preparations are underway.

Students at Grays Harbor County School in Westport, Washington, have regular drills going to the top floor in the event of a 15-minute warning.

But scents have warned it would not be high enough at its current height.

Paula Akerlund, school superintendent, said: “Scientists tell us it will happen at some point.

“It’s very unpredictable as to when. So we, we need to be prepared.”

Builders have been hired to put up north America’s first ever vertical evacuation structure on top of the school.

The structure will be 44 feet-high with 14 inch walls audits hoped it would provide safety high enough for students and staff.

Kenneth Murphy, Federal Emergency Management Agency’s regional administrator, said: “I would never say we are ready.

“At least 10,000 plus would be killed from the tsunami if a magnitude 8.0 quake hit.

“They tremendously go up from a magnitude 9.0 quake.

“We’re talking numbers that this nation, I’m not sure, is really prepared to deal with.”

Some cities are now requiring new buildings are built to withstand a major earthquake, but it does not apply to existing older ones.

But state and military authorities say adequate emergency plans are in place.
