Please send Anderson Cooper to cover the event.

[Red Badger]

Oh, please, DC!.................

Why are they claiming that the tsunami on the east coast of North America will be 100+ feet high, while at the UK, which is nearer, it will be only a tenth that?

[Red Badger]

And Don Lemon..................

[Red Badger]

Shallower near UK?..............

[Little Ray]

Relieve pressure by blowing holes in the volcano to allow it to drain?

[Salamander]

Even at 12 miles inland, it’ll still be too far for me to drive to the beach.

[rktman]

All those folks moving to Florida too. 😱

[Little Ray]

I am going to miss Charleston, Beaufort, Savannah, St. Augustine.
NYC, and DC, not so much.

The direction of the initial cause.

The landslide that will supposedly cause this tsunami will fall down the west side of the island. Britain is NE of the island. The wave would be traveling mostly west.

What confuses *me* is that Africa is supposed to get 300ft waves, despite being *behind* the event.

D.C. is more than 12 miles from the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, which itself is sheltered by Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Unfortunately, NYC is not so well protected.

Apparently they way waves move they get knocked out by Portugal/Spain area

"Why are they claiming that the tsunami on the east coast of North America will be 100+ feet high, while at the UK, which is nearer, it will be only a tenth that?"

I am not certain myself but it may have to do with the topography of the ocean floor. in between La Palma and England, just off the west coast of Spain are a lot of seamounts that are nearly islands that could dissipate the wave energy.

TV evangelist Perry Stone was predicting something like this - a massive tidal wave along the East Coast.

[Red Badger]

True, but it ain’t called ‘The Swamp’ for nothing!.................

“TV evangelist Perry Stone was predicting something like this - a massive tidal wave along the East Coast.”

That’s where I get all of my information on Volcanology...

“All those folks moving to Florida too.”

Mostly the East Coast of Florida will feel it, where the New Yorkers live. The West Coast is people from the Midwest, and the panhandle is typical Southern Conservatives.

Its in the land shadow of spain

[Taxman]

That is a nifty map!

Thanks!
