Several years ago, a freak wave of some kind DID hit east Florida
although nobody was hurt. I vaguely remember that several cars on the
Daytona beach were washed over by it. I sorta remember it being about
10' high when it hit the beach going all the way up and over the first
dune line. Supposedly it was from a small collapse off the continental
shelf.

Far more likely that the side of the island will collaps in smaller

A far more likely East Coast Tsunami will be from a major slide off
the
North American contenental shelf in the mid-Atlantic region between
Charleston and Cape May. There have been several major slides there
in the
last few thousand years.

Another risk area is the Puerto Rico Trench. A collaps of the north
wall of
the trench will send a big wave into the Virgin Islands and most of
the
Leewards.The slip/strike zone there caused a pretty respectabe quake
just
north of Jost Van Dyke a couple of weeks ago.

The November issue of Boat/US magazine had an article about rouge waves
and gave a few paragraphs to tsunamis, noting they are more a hazard to
marinas and coastal cities that they are to vessels at sea.

They mentioned a 20 foot tsunami caused by a quake in the Puerto Rico
trench in 1918 killed 40 people. A tsunami from Chile hit Hilo, Hawaii
with 35 feet of water in 1960, killing 61... Over 50 tsunamis have hit
Hawaii since the 1800s.

An article in today's San Francisco Chronicle discussed prepartions
that the city is taking in the event of a tsumami warning. The article
had a 1964 photo of damage in Crescent City from a tsumani cause by the
big Alaska quake.

Hey! A big Alaska quake could possibly send a tsunami as far south as
San Francisco. What would be in the water? Imagine the tsunami
inundating western San Francisco, the water recedes, and you see a
polar bear walking the streets. Possible? Perhaps it wouldn't need to
even be a Alaskan tsunami to wash a polar bear into the city. City
disaster planners had a tsunami excercise back in September to reveal
some of the issues they may not have covered. One issue: The SF Zoo
is right across the street from Ocean Beach, and animals may get loose
if the zoo was flooded.

This is why I'm staying in Minnesota. The water is hard here almost all
year long and won't form into big waves.

While iceboating with my grandfather on the Hudson River many years ago, we
observed a large freighter fully laden cruising at a very high speed. We
were sailing out near the channel when I notice the wake from the ship was
raising the ice nearly three feet. We came about immediately and headed for
shore just as fast as we could (which even on an antique ice boat is pretty
fast). From the safety of dry land we watched as the wake rolled into the
shore raising the ice right along with it.

The ice was about 12 inches thick that day and got broken up pretty good.
Needless to say it ended our iceboating for the day, but by the next day, it
had setup very nicely and we enjoyed some great sailing. I've never seen
anything like this since, but the moral to the story is.....solid ice can be
made to form into some pretty big waves.

krause

you are a liar,,,

you claim you have this and that and walk and talk with the animals on your
little never never land ranch you claim you have there. You feed the
critters and allow strangers to picnic on your land. lol,,, do you think you
are the king? lol,,, krause you are a disgusting liar, very sick old man
krause,,,

someone hates you enough sooner or later to email me your whereabouts.

I have to see this never never land for myself,, I bet you live in an old
age home and have computer access in the main lobby. Probably have a nurse
do the typing for you, but you probably typed those insults to the Thai
people just after their country lost thousands of children's lives.

keep lying krause,,, someone will announce your whereabouts. When your
children log on and read what your up to, they will surely announce your
whereabouts, they may have to research what home you are in as they left you
long ago promising never to associate again just as YOU yourself said.....
sad life you have krause,, very sad and sick,,,

That's all? 10'? Hell, I had bigger wakes than that crashing against my
little dock on the ICW just north of St. Augustine. Well, they seemed
bigger than 10!

And if someone gave you Harry Krause's address what you would do?

If he does what Krause did when he stalked me and my family (obtaining my
address and claiming to have also obtained a picture of my house), he would
publish it here in this NG. Krause deserves whatever he gets. He is
indeed lower than pond scum.

Wow,, krause did that? lol,,,,

it would appear that this klown krause is even dumber than I first thought.
I knew he was invective, evil, liar, disgusting low life, and his puppets
like to follow him and influence his comments and insults towards your
leader and towards the people of countries that suffered seriously with this
disaster. If I were to post some of these emails I am receiving from people
who know him best, lol,,, I am actually surprised this klown is still here.
Krause is also a stalker ??? lol,,, krause, you threatened someone's family?
lol,,, posted photos of their home?? Krause,, I have a satellite shot of
your land, you claim you are on the water,, lol,, that double lane highway
beside you krause,, is that what you are mistaking for water?
This klown krause just keeps amazing me,,,,,

Unbelievably, from the same post:

Followed by:

Krause,, I have a satellite shot of

That has to be one of the all time classics.
