How a Tsunami could put Seaside, Oregon underwater | Earthquake Ready or Not

As one section of the earth plunges below another, the sea floor will lift up and the ocean above will bulge, sending a massive wave barreling toward the coast. From the beach in Seaside, Oregon, it will appear as if the tide is going out, but way too fast. Then about 15-20 minutes later, the leading edge of the wave will hit the beach. At 25 minutes, the water will flood over the promenade and start pouring down the city streets. "The whole town will turn into a giant lake, full of floating houses and debris and floating cars," said geologist Tom Horning.
