Amazing how little we know about our planet.
Scary stuff. Hopefully there are areas where the phenomena are more likely to happen, so folks can avoid it. |

Quote:
Not a freak wave phenomenon and there's diverse opinions on if/when, but the 'La Palma' mega-tsunami is a frightening prospect and would supposedly wreak havoc on the eastern seaboard. I hope this one never happens:- http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2004/aug/10/science.spain ...... Travelling at speeds of up to 560mph, the huge walls of water will tear across the ocean and hit islands and continents, leaving a trail of destruction. Mega-tsunami waves are much longer than the ones we are used to. "When one of these comes in, it keeps on coming for 10 to 15 minutes," "It's like a huge wall of water that just keeps coming." Computer models of the island's collapse show the first regions to be hit, with waves topping 100 metres (330ft), will be the neighbouring Canary Islands. Within a few hours the west coast of Africa will be battered with similar-sized waves. Between nine and 12 hours after the island collapses, waves between 20 and 50 metres high will have crossed 4,000 miles of ocean to crash into the Caribbean islands and the eastern seaboard of the US and Canada. The worst-hit will be harbours and estuaries, which will channel the waves inland. The loss of life and destruction to property will probably be immense...... |

Interesting article - could you imagine a 100 ft wave crashing down on you? Wow. Matthew |
