The question I have is what does this fellow expect us to do about it? I mean, installing sensors so we have two week notice is great, but then what?

Head for the hills, Wilmington is a good target.

A number of scientists have torn apart the various calculations, stating the projected wave height is far too high, etc., but of course, since that's not exciting and scary, it's never made the popular press.

I'm on the West Coast. I'll trade a tsunami for all of the illegal aliens in California. That is the bigger disaster.

"The future president of the US has got to make a call at some point, that when La Palma erupts, what is he going to do?"

Why, he's going to get all his Saudi friends out of the country before they can be questioned, right?

At least, that's what I heard.

Actually about 1/3 of the Big Island of Hawaii is also cracked and could fall into the ocean and create the same thing.

Goodby left coast when that happens.

Laws of nature, we can do a thing about it, why worry?

It's Bush's fault. Bush and those damned SUVs.

Women and minorities hardest hit.

I took a nice drive along the Southern Oregon coast yesterday. I noticed evacuation route signs along serveral of the roads and Hwy 101.

I was puzzled at first until I noticed a new one with Tsunami written on it.

...breaking the island apart before it collapses is either too dangerous or time-consuming. [...] But no one knows whether the island will collapse during the next eruption, or in an eruption that will not happen for centuries.

If it will not happen for decades or centuries, there is plenty of time to break the island up. There is also time to double check this guy's math.

Do what they do to prevent avalanches, blow up small sections at a time----but then I'm on some potential beach front property here in Kansas....

Drop explosives in water, detonate at the proper time, send the tidal wave back to EUrope.

This is "Pay Attention To Me NOW!" crap. See:

http://www.drgeorgepc.com/TsunamiMegaEvaluation.html

by a professor in Hawaii who took this scare story apart. He agreed with an estimate of a worst-case scenario of about a one-meter high wave at the U.S. & Brazilian coast.

"Full Navier-Stokes modeling brings the maximum expected tsunami wave amplitude off the U.S. east coast to about one meter. Even with shoaling effects, a tsunami from a La Palma slide would still be of concern but does not present an unmanageable threat or a significant far field hazard."

mostly a self-ping... I'm not at home, and will have to visit here when I am.
