Our ***mountain*** home & property in Otto, NC becomes ocean-front property. 2910' ASL here baby!!!
We're safe, "too bad for you!"
Spoken with the Liberal mindset
Especially bad news for Cuba!
Since the bird flu bs isn't taking hold, I guess the mass media is gonna try and wip up asteroid hysteria (again).
Looks like New Orleans gets smacked by God ! Will FEMA come to the rescue . Can you surf in a school bus ??
I went to the article, looking for a legend and perhaps a time-lapse as far as this coastal inundation graphic, hoping to see some explanation as to the color coding. I assume it's wave height along the coastline, but then you've got the whitish areas going halfway up the Mississippi Valley, hundreds of miles inland. There has to be an elevation component to it, looking at the "islands" in TX, TN, MS, AL, GA and SC.
Play the QuickTime animations. Press the "pause" button when the legend pops up. Then memorize the color codings when you watch the animation. I think the highest waves (orage) were 65 meters high (200 ft).
This story is made for George Carlin's Hippy Dippy Weatherman.
I did that, and unless I'm misinterpreting, none of those showed the effects on land. They stopped at the shoreline.
Also Footfall, except the aliens are using the rock to wpe us out.
You mean like the one that got the "vapors" when Larry Summers said that there might be a difference between boys and girls?
"That" type of MIT scientist?
Yup,that's the kind.But be aware of the fact that these fine folks would be able to confirm the level of damage from having a chunk or stone 1/4 mile across fall on your head.
Not to discount the salts, but at some point, the vaporization would tend to leave behind the salts.
So, given the prevailing winds, the damage might be greatest immediately downwind of an impact. That's to say a Pacific
strike off of CA would do a number on their agricultural lands.
And while salt isn't effective below a certain temperature for melting ice, there would be the potential for increased
flooding from mountain snow packs too.
To paraphrase another Freeper's post a few months back, People who study oceans don't live near them.
I would speculate that if my N/E/W/S "forty" was closer than that to the impact, I probably would want to know the level of damage...
Interesting. As far as this specific Gulf graphic, I find myself wondering about all that water, at least halfway up the Mississippi Valley, and the stress it would exert upon the New Madrid fault, too. As bad as the death and destruction from coastal inundation would be, it's slowly dawning upon me that it would just be the beginning.
New Orleans goes under again!
Yup. Have you considered the 'cosmic winter' that is sure to follow from all the sulfuric acid droplets blocking the sun for years.
