I think I'll retire in the mountains and not the seashore.

[Strategerist]

Scientists predict

A couple do, outnumbered by those who strenuously disagree.

37° N, 30° W

So, since I'm in Upstate NY, near Buffalo, I'll have beach front property?

I saw a show on this. Really scary stuff. Like CA's big one it is not a matter of if but of when.

to the Beeb...you wish!

i live in the great lakes,so tornadoes are the worst of my worries

The assertions of the many cable science documentaries on this have been torn apart by a lot of prominent tsunami experts.

HHHmmm a "mega-Tsunami" wipes out the East Coast and the West coast falls into the Pacific with a mega earth quake......That just leaves the "red states"....
Interesting ;^)

Hopefully, Conservatives will move inland.

[oceanview]

you mean Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida?

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Hoosiermama...you may someday be the proud of owner of beachfront property in Indiana...

[pointsal]

No way...........these are blue areas......no one believes that Mother Nature could ever had little blue babies......

[SittinYonder]

Only read the headline ... is this breaking news? Should I run for high ground?!

I'd set up a protest march against the Canadians.

[Fitzcarraldo]

I suspect their calculations are off. The volume of displaced water from this landslide in the Canary Islands would be far less that what happened near Sumatra, resulting in a much smaller wave.

Ok, show me some documentation. I would be interested in reading more on this.

[FormerACLUmember]

Alaska, Hawaii, and California have a tsunami alert system (air raid siren type of things). We need one for the East coast also, although 21st century technology needs to be used. This would include TV, Radio, and Internet warnings, as well as messages of warning sent to all cell phones in affected areas.

Will it happen before Global Warming destroys us all....or after the impending Ice Age freezes us to death?

[caisson71]

All "scientists" who do research on Tsunamis, volcanos, earthquakes, hurricanes, etc. say "it's not if but when". Well, my doctor told me long ago that I will eventually die and I suppose that, eventually, he is right but there's no much I can do about it. In any case, I know it won't be from global warming.
