The Big One
The Big One tells about the Cascadia Cataclysm on the West Coast of Terramagne-America. When the Cascadia Subduction Zone ruptures, it sets off subsidiary earthquakes along several other fault lines, followed by tsunamis battering coastal communities. Mass casualties result. Aid rushes in from areas east of the destruction and from other nations around the world. But the West Coast is changed forever.
