Most seismologists have discounted that as an absolote worst case situation.
Far more likely that the side of the island will collaps in smaller increments rather than all at once. 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. -- Glenn Ashmore I'm building a 45' cutter in strip/composite.

This is why I'm staying in Minnesota. The water is hard here almost all
year long and won't form into big waves. Capt. Jeff |
Actally most of the moos have migrated to Canada where everyone is
smarter, even the moose. They don't have any trouble crossing the borders and don't have to deal with the point system devised by the Canadians to keep out bush lovers. Capt. Jeff |
Why is it whenever people predict these global cataclysms the US is always
the one that gets the brunt of the damage? "Tamaroak" wrote in message ... Look at this to find out about a REAL tsunami! http://www.benfieldhrc.org/CentreNew...es/tsunami.htm Capt. Jeff |

We deserve it.

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. |

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. |

Jeff 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. rjc |
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,,, "Harry Krause" wrote in message ... wrote: Several years ago, a freak wave of some kind DID hit east Florida although nobody was hurt.

Well, they seemed bigger than 10! |
And if someone gave you Harry Krause's address what you would do?

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,,,,, "JimH" wrote in message ... "Tamaroak" wrote in message ... And if someone gave you Harry Krause's address what you would do? Capt.

Unbelievably, from the same post:
Krause is also a stalker ??? lol,,, Followed by: Krause,, I have a satellite shot of your land, That has to be one of the all time classics. |

Not the site itself, but the obvious inconsistency between calling
another person out for "stalking" and then boasting about having a satellite photo of that person's house. Who is doing the stalking? |
gould,,
do you know the difference between house and land? I cannot see you graduating head of the class back at the college,,,,, hmmmmm you puppets make this **** up as you go along??? I don't normally respond to morons, but once again I felt it my duty. wrote in message oups.com...

what a waste of cyber space your o.t.s are

Harry,
Come on now, people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. I've read several posts where you stirred the pot. Harry I find you an interesting personality. On one hand you appear as a person of considerable intellect and on the other you succumb to the lower urges of intentionally irritating the person of your displeasure. Such potential misdirected. If you'd only take the high road more often. Paul "Harry Krause" wrote in message news:1104616897.21b0612c25a9a160a653013384d7cce8@t eranews...
