Re: 22000 Dead.
Bored reading and found some stuff on Tsunamis
Apparently there is a major volcano located somewhere south and east of the US in the Atlantic. When volcanos erupt, the walls collapse, causing a land slide. Well a land slide would displace a great amount of water, thus causing a Tsunami.
Computer calculations and models show that if this volcano erupts, (eruptions in 1700's, and most recently in the 1940's and 70's, nothing major) and a major seismic event were to occur, a wave, known as a Super Tsunami would form, and gain speed, like the crack of a whip. When it reached Washington DC and NYC, the wave would be approx. 300feet plus in height, and be traveling at over 700mph. That would relocate the coast somewhere close to Eastern Tennessee, Western North Carolina.
Although the deaths are tragic, the push to do more will hopefully ensure that these lives weren't lost in vain. Sounds like the US gov't will hold talks on Seismic equipment and Global early warning systems to detect such a cataclysmic event.
Just a little blurb...
happy reading.
