Some people think I'm a little erratic...

Funny. Other animals seemed to have an idea that the Christmas Tsunami was coming in time to head for higher ground. This guy has "500 cubic miles -- of water in an instant" falling on these unsuspecting animals. I don't buy it.

global warming killed the mamoths...

The Lake Missoula floods are among the most interesting historical events I have discovered late in life. Lake Lewis is just a small lake near the end of the journeys for all these repeated floods.

One note. "Huge" offshore underwater landslides off the same coasts have always been attributed to earthquakes. I think that theory deserves a further look...

Several years ago I went on a field trip to examine the soils of the channeled scablands in Washington State. Really interesting place. Here and there were erratic boulders the size of a small house. I would like to have seen that flood....from high ground.

Sounds like a mammoth mammoth-killing.
