While analyzing various facts about natural disasters took place in Washington states, it is found a number of earthquakes took place in the last 100 years. North bend city has been affected by an earthquake of 5.5Ms in 1945. Minor damages were resultant of the earthquake. In the next year itself, another earthquake took place in ‘Strait of Georgia’. Power of the earthquake was 7.3 at Seismic Magnitude scale. In 1949, A major earthquake took place in Olympia, which is currently the capital city of Washington state. The magnitude was measured at 6.7Mw. The earthquake created a damage of $25 million. Around 80 people were injured by that earthquake. Reports stated that 8 individuals departed from this disaster.
Puget Sound is another city of Washington state in which an earthquake of 6.7Mw took place in 1965. The city faced $ 12.5 million (approx.) financial damage due to this earthquake. Reports stated 7 deceased were the outcome of that earthquake. In 1999, an earthquake of 5.8Mw damaged a census-designated the place of Washington, called Satsop (Jackson, Frederick, et al. 2017). 7 injuries were reported from that earthquake. Approximately $8.1 million financial damages took place due to the earthquake. The most recent earthquake that took in Washington was in the year 2001. Puget Sound was the city where the earthquake happened. 6.8 Mw was the power of the earthquake according to the ‘Richter magnitude scale’. Around 400 injuries reported from that earthquake while $1 to $4 billion was the estimated damage.
Historical tsunami and tsunami hazards in Washington state
A number of Tsunami incidents took place in the history of Washington. A number of studies have revealed that there is a huge potential of tsunami in Washington state in future. In 1820, a large landslide at Camano head tsunami destroyed an entire village. Another tsunami of 6-8 feet tall took place in Tacoma Narrows on April 16, 1949. The Tsunami took place after a large earthquake in Olympia. The Alaska river is considered as one of the most prominent hazards of Tsunami in Washington state. In 1946, a huge tsunami triggered and reached northwest Washington and damaged several areas. 9.2 magnitude was the power of that tsunami (Washington.edu, 2018). Apart from these, a number of tsunamis have taken place during the year 1980 around Spirit lake due to St. Helens eruptions (Dnr.wa.gov, 2018).
