A new study of the Cascadia Subduction Zone — a fault line that runs from southern Canada to northern California — suggests that the zone could trigger a horrific earthquake more severe than previously imagined. The study released on Friday examined the 600-mile fault line in far more precise detail than had been done before, showing the fault, instead of being one continuous strip, actually separated into four distinct segments, thus permitting the tectonic plates to slide under each other potentially resulting in more devastating earthquakes, even one as massive as a 9.0 or greater earthquake, which could trigger a 100-foot-tall tsunami. The techniques used to map the subduction zone involved sending sound to the ocean floor from a boat equipped with 1,200 hydrophones to record the echoes. “The Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) has hosted giant earthquakes of moment magnitude >8.5 in the past and poses a major geohazard to populations of the Pacific Northwest,” the study notes. “We have the potential for earthquakes and tsunamis as large as the biggest ones we’ve experienced on the planet,” Harold Tobin, a co-author of the paper, stated. “Cascadia seems capable of generating a magnitude 9 or a little smaller or a little bigger.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Research scientist Kelin Wang from the Geological Survey of Canada said his team is using data collected by the study, remarking, “The accuracy and this resolution is truly unprecedented. And it’s an amazing data set. It just allows us to do a better job to assess the risk and have information for the building codes and zoning.” “If an earthquake of over 9 magnitude struck the West Coast US it could generate tsunamis reaching 100 feet high or more, kill more than 10,000 people and cause over $80 billion in damages in just Oregon and Washington alone,” The Daily Mail reported, adding that many long-term deaths could result from exposure to dead bodies and animals as well as contaminated water and Hazmat spills.

A woman who had reportedly worked in child care for the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services allegedly stabbed a three-year-old boy to death four days after she had a warrant out for her arrest for a theft conviction, was arrested, and then released. When the murder charge was read to her in court, she smirked and giggled. Bionca Ellis, 32, is reported to have stolen knives from a thrift store in North Olmstead, Ohio, then allegedly followed 3-year-old Julian Wood and his mother Margot out of the store before stabbing the child to death and also stabbing his mother when she tried to save her son and pull him from the shopping cart, according to Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O’Malley. When Judge Nancy Margaret in the Cuyahoga Court of Common Pleas announced that Ellis was charged with murder, aggravated murder, attempted murder, felonious assault, endangering children, tampering with evidence and misdemeanor theft, she smirked and giggled.

In a heartbreaking response to the judge asking his name, he told the judge, “My name is Jared Wood, father of the deceased, husband of Margot. Your honor, that day, one week ago, she took everything from us. There’s nothing that could ever replace my son or anything that my wife and I and our other kids are going through. It’s horrendous. I really wish no bail, period. Or extend it to the max limit possible that you can, at the very least. Just do whatever you can to keep this monster behind bars.” This poor dad had to watch as his 3-year-old son’s kiIIer smiled, laughed, and smirked when read her charges. I don’t know how he’s even keeping his composure. He should be afforded 10 minutes in a room alone with her and some tools of his choosing. https://t.co/Jcy3sJ3Yex pic.twitter.com/GTcN1g71B0 — Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) June 10, 2024 JUST IN: Bionca Ellis, the woman who stabbed a 3-year-old to d*ath in Ohio was a government employee for the Ohio Dept of Job and Family Services.

For such a little girl, Drew Barrymore sure had a loud scream! On a recent episode of The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon reminded the actor of a hilarious moment from her childhood. She was only seven years old when she appeared on the same talk show for the very first time while Johnny Carson was its host. In her interview, she’d been asked to give her best scream. Boy, did she deliver! In the old clip, Drew Barrymore’s scream was so loud and shrill that Johnny Carson actually stood up in surprise! She informed the host that she practiced this at home all the time, which was why she had gotten so good at it. Looking back at the iconic moment, Barrymore and Fallon started cracking up. @fallontonight @Drew Barrymore reacts to a video of her at 7 years old screaming on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson! #FallonTonight #TonightShow #DrewBarrymore #JohnnyCarson #JimmyFallon ♬ original sound – FallonTonight “It is so charming,” Fallon said of the precocious child actor’s early interview. He then added, “And look at what a great woman you’ve become.” Drew Barrymore got a little emotional watching the footage of her younger self, even while laughing at her hilariously powerful scream. “You know what’s so wild when I look at that?” she asked Fallon. “My legs don’t touch the ground.” Drew Barrymore has grown up a lot… but she’s still learning. Screengrab from TikTok Barrymore is one of the rare child actors who was able to translate their early talent into a sustainable career in film. And, as she told the audience on The Tonight Show, she’s still learning as an adult. “We all are growing up together,” she said. “I’m 49 years old, and … I’m just growing up with everyone.” Screengrab from TikTok However, she added that there’s one area where she’s probably done maturing. “My legs touch the ground now!” she said. It’s amazing to see how much Drew Barrymore has changed since she was a seven-year-old showing off her loud scream on The Tonight Show. She’s a mom herself now as well as a wildly successful actor and the host of her own show, The Drew Barrymore Show. What a long way she’s come!

The 1990s brought us a lot of “coming-of-age” movies. We saw classics including My Girl (1991), The Lion King (animated – 1994), and American Pie (1999). The Goonies cast from the 1985 film was working their way into adulthood when the Sandlot team took to the field. Hamilton “Ham” Porter, played by Patrick Renna, was always a fan favorite as the mouthy catcher. To say that Patrick Renna is doing a different dance now would be accurate. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Patrick Renna (@patrickrenna) We’re super hyped about one of his latest endeavors. Patrick Renna has formed a “Dad’s Dance Trio” and is choreographing routines for the group on TikTok and Instagram. The trio are dads and rocking various stages of the quintessential “dad bod.” The routines are short and simple, but you will smile! The video above opens with Renna’s two dance partners marching down the hall with arms over each other’s shoulders. As the men reach a wider spot in the hall, they separate. Patrick Renna slides into the scene, showing off some Top Gun dance moves. The trio closes ranks, and they nod their heads in one synchronized motion, dropping sunglasses down to cover their eyes. A few more coordinated moves follow, and then a final spin. Like a total dad, Renna’s last move is to push his glasses up on his nose. Image from Instagram. Renna stays busy. He married Jasmin Renna, and they have two sons, Flynn and Liam. His son Liam is contemplating soccer, while Flynn is all about baseball. Renna plans on growing old and coaching his son on a baseball diamond. It is clear that Renna’s Ham Porter fans still love his talents. Patrick Renna has 3.3 million followers on TikTok and almost 750K on the newer Instagram account. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
