US West Coast Tsunami?
I saw the program, but since I don't live on the West Coast, who the hell
cares. Since the West Coat is going to slide into the Pacific soon anyway, what the heck. The key is to buy some Arizona property that will become ocean front property. ; ) My only concern is the MEGA-Tsunami that will hit the entire East Coast when half of the mountain slides off of La Palma in the Canary Islands. It is estimated that this will result in a Tsunami 650 METERS high and hit the entire east coast. http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/horizon...anscript.shtml It is not a question if it will happen, but when. Why do I feel like Chicken Little? "Harry Krause" wrote in message ... Anyone see the program on tsunami on the Discovery Channel last night? In addition to proving a theory about the 2004 Asian tsunami, there were some revelations about the probability of a US West Coast tsunami, and the fact that at most there might only be 15 minutes of warning for a particular close-to-shore-triggered-by-a-just-offshore-earthquake tsunami that might result in a 100-foot wave from near Seattle to at least a third the way down the California coast. Sounds worse than a sudden onset Gulf of California tostito. |

You'll be swimming from room to room with a Scuba tank strapped to your back. What's your elevation? My house is about 130 ft and I am about 7-8 miles inland. Eisboch |

According to NOAA, 710. I'm right on the Atlantic, but at the highest point on the peninsula...about 160 feet above sea level. |
