La Palma is rumbling - What are the implications of a 40 foot Tsunami along the east coast?

[T0oCoolFool]

I wish someone would explain this visualizer to me like I'm stupid (because I am). What does that ||-||| symbol mean on the latest 3.1 quake?

Plato was talking in allegory, not in actual historical fact, his descriptions of the island were to back up the premise of his story and lend weight to the message and ideas he was pushing in his dialogue, not actual historical fact. Every supposed 'Atlantis' basically fails the test to be such. It ain't real.

Ok bruh, next you're going to tell me this wasn't a real mermaid in the Dubai aquarium.

I hope DC and NYC are wiped out.

Doesn't matter. only the small people are gonna get hurt /die in the flooding. The people who cause harm in this world will high tail it outta there once the first waves appear near La Palma.

I'm about to start that 4 hour clock myself

imagine the problems that would be solved if NYC and DC were wiped out.

My god...somebody nuke La Palma now and set the Globohomo back decades.

Lol, what do you think you "coasts" are there to do? Eat shit to protect the Midwest boyyos, our corn made you what you are.

You're kidding, right?
Most of Florida would be wiped out.
I think the highest point in the whole state is a fucking landfill north of Daytona...and that's only 100' high, if that...

It's the macroseismic intensity scale. People who felt an earthquake are reporting how strong it felt to them. So if it has roman numerals, than that one was close enough to the surface to be noticed by the locals.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_macroseismic_scale

Edit: spelling and to add, I live an area with a lot of earthquake activity. I wouldn't worry unless you start seeing level V or higher.

I thought it probably would be but wanted those of a more geological frame of mind to confirm.
Bugger.

Bugger.

The real problem is the entire southern third of the state is Everglades in the middle...swamp land...already covered with water. Once the wave pics up everything on the east coast and starts carrying it inland, after 5-10 miles, it will be back over water and there will be nothing to stop it or slow it down until it gets to the west coast and everything gets dumped into the Gulf of Mexico...
I know there is some weatherfag out there that is gonna tell me how and why I am wrong, but the thought of South Florida being scraped off the map like you were cutting a wart off with a razor blade gives me quite the boner.
A boy can dream...

This will just create a refugee crisis that will intensify the blue-to-red carpetbagging. No bueno.

Moving the US government and financial industrt to a new location will have the Swamp creatures and New Yorkers struttin' around the Midwest like they own the place.

for DC.

New York is set up for a point-blank hit, but the curvature of the Chesapeake and Potomac make DC unlikely to sustain a serious hit.

A tsunami is not the same as a sustained flood. Now if the entire northwest Atlantic raised 30m then yeah, DC is fucked. However a single tidal wave of 30m with only a handful of follow-up waves of 10-20m are inevitably going to break against something.

If you've ever seen big waves in the Pacific crashing, you'll also notice rarely does a wave of X height ever actually reach that high on the beach. Once the water comes crashing down, the force dwindles.

Nassau County is right on the coast, and it has a high point of 34m.

The real problem is the entire southern third of the state is Everglades in the middle...swamp land...already covered with water. Once the wave pics up everything on the east coast and starts carrying it inland, after 5-10 miles, it will be back over water and there will be nothing to stop it or slow it down

Holy fucking shit, that is not remotely how swamps & marshes work.
Wetlands dissipate wave force, not intensify it.

Its why I can't be arsed to shed a tear for people who build a house that disrupts the surrounding salt marsh or dune ecosystems, just for said house to get BTFO'd in the next hurricane or tropical storm.

You guys underwater yet?

Found the weatherfag....
Still, the idea of most of Miami Beach sitting off the coast of Ft. Myers under 100'+ of water warms my heart.

If only I were so lucky.

Ocean wave motion isn't the same as a tsunami.
