Scientists moved to allay fears after an article reported a quake could send tsunami waves crashing over the coast of Washington and Oregan, and even trigger the eruption of volcano Mount Hood.
Locals fear it could be on the cards following a “seismic shift”.
Superstation95.com reported a reading from an ocean data buoy showed the water level fell sharply, “signalling a land sink – the type of event often followed by a severe earthquake.”
Details of the seismic scare emerged today as Express.co.uk also revealed how TWO large volcanoes erupted, causing 1,200 people to flee their homes in Indonesia and flights to be cancelled in Russia
Its report, said of the land drop: “This means a tectonic plate in the Ocean named the “Juan de Fuca Plate” has made a sudden, eastward movement and slipped beneath another tectonic plate named the “North American Plate.
“This type of event is usually followed by a massive upward movement of the North American Plate causing a very severe earthquake.”
