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

Thats BS. the Tsunami will flatten everything it hits. only reinforced walls , elevated hill with heavy bases and mountains will stand tall.
the amount of pressure is much higher than with a normal wave.

And the thing a lot of people are overlooking is that a Tsunami isn't like the bullshit you see in the movies...it isn't some giant single 300' tall wave that crashes on the city...it is just a shit-ton of water continuously washing on shore...the actual "wave" can be extremely long. It's just the ocean receding, then advancing, and not stopping where it normally does....

Up until the japanese tsunami, i thought tsunamis were just one big wave, one and done.

When I watched the videos of the japanese one, from the camera on a high building looking over the harbour, i was shocked. Like, ho lee shit damn nature scary, levels of shocked. It is an immense, unstoppable, brutal wave of water, that in places was travelling hundreds of miles an hour while funnelling through streets.

Watching the non-stop swell from the sea, level building, walls, sink boats, wash away cars and lives in an instance was pretty eye opening.

That scenario across Africa, Europe, America and the UK would be fucking nuts.

Well Europe will not be hit that hard, even iberia will be relative safe, the coastline is quite high, same for most of the UK and northern france. Northern europe will get a flood but not a real wave, the channel will break the front. also northern europe has very shallow waters infront of the coast, slowing the water down alot.
North america is alot flatter, same for Africa and south america.

Which isn't the same as a protracted flood.

Tsunamis can either be breaking or non-breaking; but even a non-breaking tsunami will lose inertia & force as it hits off the shores of the Chesapeake and Potomac like a cue ball hitting the sides of the board.

You're literally wrong.

It was an observed and documented fact following the 2004 Indonesian Tsunami that communities behind mangrove forests and other coastal vegetation features were less impacted than those without.

There has been a magnitude of studies and simulations done on the subject, and all conclude that the presence of wetlands and coastal vegetation reduces the impact of hurricanes and tsunamis.

Experimental study on tsunami attenuation by mangrove forest - Earth, Planets and Space

Laboratory experiments on the effectiveness of mangroves to reduce tsunami energy were performed. A complex tree structure of Rhizophora sp. was parameterized using the stiff structure assumption (root system and trunk) for different submerged root volume ratios and frontal tree areas. The...

I'm not saying a few trees will save the likes of Miami, Daytona or even Jacksonville, but acting like an unstoppable wall of water is going to race across the entirety of the Everglades & Big Cypress right into the Gulf is extremely unlikely, even in an absolute optimum eruption-collapse-perfect wave scenario; while acting like said tsunami would just topple the Lake Wales & Brooksville Ridges is outright fantasy.

There are videos on line showing the Tsunami that hit specifically the Aceh in Indonesia that illiterate what a Tsunami is generally like - yes yes yes there are variations; but this shows the difference between a large wave and tsunami caused by water displacement. In my book it is probably the most horrifying video as we watch an entire peninsula become part of the ocean for an extended period of time before receding.

I feel this thread is like a lottery ticket. Is it possible it could happen? Why yes! Will it?...nah...

An eruption? Probably. Results in a slip and calving of the island? Why yes possible! Will it?...nah...

Our dreams, hopes and aspirations for the end of days of Florida remain high and hope is everlasting.

Now what are the chances the explosion and tsunamis loosens the 3GD and we just kill almost everyone in one go?

Why not go the whole hog?

Island slips in to water
Tsunami hits America causing tectonic nudging
Nudging sets off yellow stone
Yellow stone go boom
SF and cali fall in to water
Tsunami hits China causing tectonic nudging
3GD collapses
All nuclear reactors leak in to ocean
ocean radioactive
