Hypothetically, would a tsunami pass through a Cat-5 hurricane?

Too bad we can’t get a tsunami to run up the Potomac River. Aw, rats. Congress is out of town.

It's possible. This earthquake won't generate one.

Global warming is making the Earth expand!It's not that simple. All the oil we're pumping out of the Earth is making it shrivel up like a raisin. Burning that oil is causing Global Warming®. So, both problems can be blamed on the same evil people.
