Book description
Science said it was coming. A nightmare named the day. No one believed him.
Dr. Rob Elwood has spent twenty years studying the Cascadia Subduction Zone—the fault off the Pacific Northwest coast primed to unleash a magnitude-nine megaquake and a fifty-foot tsunami with mere minutes of warning. He knows what it will look like when it comes. He never expected to dream of it happening.
But the dreams come, and they keep coming: the same coastline, the same wave, the same date. So he defies what he thinks a true scientist would do. He goes public. He names the day.
