In the LANTEX17 exercise, a magnitude 8.8 earthquake in the eastern Atlantic is simulated. Located approximately 345 miles west southwest from Lisbon, Portugal and 510 miles west of the Straits of Gibraltar at 36.0ºN, 15.0ºW, the quake sends a tsunami towards the North American east coast.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program (NTHMP) are providing the framework for the LANTEX17 tsunami exercise, which is being conducted to assist tsunami preparedness efforts throughout the Atlantic region. Recent earthquakes and their associated tsunamis, such as those in Samoa (2009), Haiti (2010), Chile(2010, 2015), and Japan (2011) attest to the importance of proper planning for tsunami response.

Good Lord you should see some of the comments. People actually think they are going to create a earthquake to test what would happen
Now you know why Hillary was almost elected.
Yep.
You folks in the Coast Guard involved?
LOL! I really did laugh, and then I thought for a minute, and my smile went away...
What is the correct beverage for the observance of such a drill these days?
How many of those idiots referenced global warming or climate change?
From further reading of the comments, if you point out the fact that they are not creating a earthquake/tsunami you are rude to the stupid people. At least we know who will die first in a real emergency.
Mega Tsunami drill from a La Palma quake.
If Cumbre Vieja goes, it could get...interesting...
I saw a documentary a few years ago that claimed that some small island in the eastern Atlantic (somehere west of Portugal IIRC) is so unstable that it’s likely to collapse into the ocean at some point causing a tsunami so large that it will wipe out Boston,NYC and Miami.
As IO have been saying right along- a second term for trump is not a guaranteed thing- We should never underestimate the inability of the majority of people ion this country to choose the right candidate any longer- after all- they elected obama not once, but twice- even after he treated them all like crap, and prices for everything soared=- and the gubmint all of a sudden couldn’t find any ‘cost of living increases’ for the sick and elderly and disabled vets, and gas prices were through the roof-
I thought sure that there was no way- under such circumstances as the country faced back then- that the country could possibly elect obama to a second term- Wow was i wrong!
Fox news interviewed a woman right after the second election- the interviewer asked “Why did you vote for him again?
She got a crap eating grin on her face, shrugged her shoulders, and said “So i Can git me sum of Dat obamamoney”
When asked where she thought that money would come from-
She again got a crap eating grin on her face, shrugged her shoulders, and said “It’s just free- Dats all”
I knew then this country was in trouble- and learned not to underestimate the inability of this Gimmedat society to make the correct choices regarding electing a president
When if ever has our east coast had a real Tsunami?
I think this Obamavoter’s actual answer was, “I get it from his stash!”
I have not heard of any notification of involvement yet. If it's passed UNCLASS and marked for public distribution I'll do so. I'll ask around.
A Tsunami Drill sounds like a weapon fit for a supervillain. “Mr. Bond, when I turn on the Tsunami Drill, Manhattan will be pushed into New Jersey and Great Britain will be flipped over and shoved into Norway.”

Not in historical times, but they’re more common on the West coast.
the one i heard was what i posted- “It’s just free- Dats all”
tsunami so large that it will wipe out Boston,NYC and Miami.
And all of New Jersey except for the Kittatinys. I’m thinkin. I’m thinkin.
Don’t know but since I live in South Jersey I have about 8 hours to get out of Dodge before a 30 to 40 meter tsunami greets me.
