This is an interesting theory.
Lake Geneva, regardless, remains one of the most beautiful vistas in the world.
Which it didn't but that's because they already knew back in the DeSoto's day that this could happen on that lake so NOBODY built really close to the shoreline ~ plus the lake used to have an uncontrolled height above sealevel and could change over night.
I'd guess Geneva was quite small when this 24 foot tsunami took it out!
Global warming?
Now will you take global warming seriously?! Chirps Al Gore.
A lot of people have felt that way about the Alps generally. :’)

Al Gore, upon reading this report, shouted out “Bush did it.”
Michael Moore is planning a movie also blaming Bush for this earth tsunami. Playing Bush will be Oliver Stoned. Playing the tsunami will be Roseanne Barr.
Playing the innocent Swiss milkgirl, Sandra Fluke.
Playing God will be Barack Obama.
Coming to an insane asylum near you, soon.
This thread has been a teachable moment for my 21 year old son, leading to a discussion about the Lituya Bay, AK tsunami in 1958.
Deep Purple musta cranked up the amps...
...water in the sky...
For the last time, I wasn’t involved! I know nothing of the events leading up to the creation of the tsunami.
Any alleged eyewitness accounts that I was seen surfing the tsunami are *clear* fabrications and not to be believed!
Tell it to the judge ya beach bum. Now come along quietly.

They aren’t so much lakes as they are freshwater inland seas. :’)
