I am soooo confused!!

What does this mean? An earthquake seems to be building which could lead to a 150 ft. tsunami?

Who needs to worry about this? The entire east coast? My dad is in NC, 6o miles from the coast- should he worry?

This is a little unnerving.

Probably not - if exactly the wrong things happen, you get a 120-180 foot wave that goes 5 miles inland across all of North America and most of South America, but recent research shows that most La Palma events are smaller.

Hey, the chart at the top updates live! I didn’t realize that.

There has been a study that indicates the entire side of that mountain could slide into the Atlantic. The amount of earth and the resulting displacement could cause a major tsunami along the East coast of the US, especially major metropolitan areas like NYC, seeing as it sits at the mouth of the Hudson, which is, if I remember correctly, another active fault line.

If I remember correctly, the island has a fault running along its length. There is a possibility that a seismic disturbance could cause that fault line to let go, dropping half the island into the ocean and generating a large tsunami.

IF he is 60 miles from the coast; he’ll have plenty of warning...this has been predicted for ever so long and it is just a prediction and we both know how predications go. In other words, it doesn’t seem likely.

Yes, but for other reasons.

I was watching a TV show that reported the volcanic mountain already has a split in it. If there was a large enough earthquake, a portion of the mountain would fall into the ocean causing the 150 ft. tsunami.
