The Orphan Tsunami Of 1700 by P.M.H. Atwater
Japanese Clues to a Parent Earthquake in North America
This compelling narrative delves into the mysterious origins of a massive tsunami that struck the Pacific Northwest in 1700, leaving no local records of an accompanying earthquake. Through meticulous research, the authors piece together evidence from Japanese historical documents, Native American oral traditions, and geological findings to reveal the seismic event that caused this "orphan" tsunami. The book not only uncovers the hidden history of this natural disaster but also highlights the interconnectedness of global seismic activity and the importance of understanding past events to prepare for future ones.
