One of the effects of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami is a vast field of debris floating across the Pacific Ocean. Within three years it will be hitting the western USA and Canadian coast. The debris field contains parts of houses, eighteen-wheelers, whole boats, and even body parts.
Members of the U.S. Navy's 7th fleet, who spotted the extraordinary floating rubbish, say they have never seen anything like it and are warning the debris now poses a threat to shipping traffic.
Go to the article "Cars, whole houses and even severed feet in shoes: The vast field of debris from Japan earthquake and tsunami that's floating towards U.S. West Coast" at the Daily Mail Online for the full story. Some of the pictures are truly awesome. Maps project where the debris will be in one year and in three years.
This story is a forecast of the near future. It is a situation that will affect the USA. How should we prepare?
