In response to this story, Al Gore began providing information on how Tidal Credits could be bought from him to save the world from this catastrophic event.

Interesting. Man is not the be-all and end-all of this world. We have a gift of this world, but the earth has a mind of her own and we are reminded of that from time to time. We are just borrowing her for as long as she lets us, God willing... We go about our daily lives but any day nature could cause us a nasty blow. We just don’t see it too often, because nature’s cycles tend to be a lot longer than the lives of man. Mercifully, most men can live entire lifetimes without experiencing nature’s power but someone has to be here when these massive natural phenomenon occur. Scary that it can happen at any moment and we can’t possibly know when — thankfully.

Bush’s fault!

As awesome as quake generated tsunami's can be they pale in comparison to those generated by landslides. The next great landslide generated tsunami could originate from La Palma Island in the Canary Island chain off the west coast of Africa.

An active Volcano called Cumbre Veija erupted in 1949 causing a partial collapse of a major portion of the island's western flank. Another eruption occurred in 1971. An eruption some time in the future will cause a total collapse sending a wave 300 feet high across the Atlantic at a speed of approximately 500mph. It will strike the entire eastern seaboard. The wave height, by some estimations, will be 165 feet by the time it reaches the east coast and move upto 12 miles inland.

The same one? Wow!

(I wonder where it has been hiding all this time.)

"The sea was driven back, and its waters flowed away to such an extent that the deep sea bed was laid bare and many kinds of sea creatures could be seen," wrote Roman historian Ammianus Marcellus, awed at a tsunami that struck the then-thriving port of Alexandria in 365 AD.

Tsunami that devastated the ancient world could return

It is a sad thing to see natural phenomenon anthropomorphised, creating the excuse of primitive behavior, be it controlling other people by claiming special insights, or throwing virgins into volcanoes or men, women and children into foul wells, to appease their idea of "understanding".
Tsunamis can't "return" any more than rockslides can.

Some may feel comfortable there but, personally, I would rather throw those touchie-feelie controling twits into the volcanoes instead.

Just saying.

Hey... We just had a tsunami a couple of years ago that took the lives of 250,000+ people. How often is an event like that going to happen in the course of 10 life times?

The answer is - Not a whole heck of a lot.

Relax! If you’re scared of the sea move away from it.

With an area covering four-fifths the surface of the earth, we should respect what power it may possess.

[bmwcyle]

A toon could drop an anvil on our heads also.

[Dustbunny]

Interesting.

Mother earth just doing her thing.

"Repetition of such an event would have catastrophic consequences for today's densely-populated Mediterranean coastal regions."

Oh, the asteroid will hit us and destroy all life on Earth before that ever happens...

Hope this doesn’t happen to Gaza and wash everybody out to sea. That would be tragic.
