"Can't wait to praise Kyoto"
The Kyoto Treaty was nothing more than an attempt by third and second world nations to shackle the US economic engine.
Fact: Every person on the planet and place them in the state of Texas comfortably.
For anyone to believe that humans in the numbers we exist can affect global temperature be burning the small quantities of fuel we do, is ridiculous.
Do you know rotting and decaying vegetation account for the majority of the release of CO2 into the air.
How are the wacko's going to stop that?
ALL of it is BS. I don't believe one shred of it.

Isn't Mama Leonies still operating?
How about making a big pizza, and stretching it across the harbor?
Might not work, but it sure would smell good.

A meteor did hit the Yucatan Peninsula at some time in the Earths geologic past and it has been estimated that the wave that hit the now Texas coast was a mile high and didnt stop until it hit what is now Dallas.

I agree with your assessment.

SOmething about a ridge under the ocean which would prevent the waves from getting that high.
_____________________________________
The Atlantic Shelf extends for hundreds of miles. There is no similar shelf along the Pacific coast. The shelf (which is what you would think it is based on the word) creates shallow waters in a protective fringe. This shallowness drags on wave energy and saps it as the energy passes over it. It is the reason that, even with five Hurricanes a year, the East Coast never sees the size of wave that Hawaii gets every year.

I've heard about the 3 sisters while stationed up in Marquette, Mich.
We sent out Hueys from our base for a few days (K.I. Sawyer AFB) looking for the Fitzgerald before figuring out where she went down.

Boston is easy to save. Just divert all the water into a series of semipermeable tunnels underneath the city. Too bad for those in the tunnels at the time though.How about we just divert Teddy Kennedy into a series of tunnels.
Just don't let him drive.

Can you imagine the goo that would wash out of New York if this were to happen? After all, when it rains New York makes its own gravy!

"How do you evacuate New York City in a few hours?"
You don't. The infrastructure won't support that amount of traffic. Also, the resultant panic would cause an unbelieveable number of fatalities.
a NYC evacuation in a few hours time is truly a Nightmare scenario.

Could this recent tsunami, cenered on the most populous islamic country, be God's work.
Or is this a coincidence?
To: TexasCowboy; Dog Gone
Have you heard any damage reports TC, I looked at the IADC and API sites and saw nothing, but could not connect to SPE for some reason. I also talked with Global, Nobel, and Unocal hands on Wednesday and they didn't mention any problems. So far as I know there are no land rigs on the west side, close enough to the water to be effected. I would think only platforms and jackups would be in any real danger.

Yepper - I now live in the southern 'burb of Atlanta.
I lived through a few NYC Evacuations - Snow and hurricane a bunch of years ago. The Snow Emergency took me 7 hours to get clear of the city. The hurricane evac took less time, but foks new in advance that it was on the way and didn't come to work.
I have no desire to go back there - even to visit.
