A Mega-Tsunami Is Coming-Geologists Theorize That a Volcano on La Palma Might Fall Into The Ocean And Send a Mega-Tsunami Across the Atlantic-VIDEO

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Have you ever wondered what would happen if a Tsunami were to hit America? What about the east coast of America?

    In six hours, you,me ,our government, and 124 million other people across 14 states will be tested by the greatest disaster to ever hit the U.S. East Coast.. A great wave, 1000 meters tall (3280 ft.), moving towards you at 1000 km/h (620 mph), and that’s only the beginning.


    Boston, New York, Philly, D.C., Miami. All underwater. And you?


    Unlike most tsunamis that are triggered by tectonic activity, mega tsunamis are caused by sudden impact. A huge chunk of debris, possibly a meteor, smashes the water, creating a huge wave, which might reach thousands of meters high.


    The initial super wave would set off a chain reaction of smaller waves in all directions. But by smaller, we really mean they’d be about 100 meters high instead of 1000.


    Depending on the size and location of the impact, and the speed of the waves racing towards you, you may get a few hours warning.

    Welcome to La Palma


    La Palms is one of the 7 main Canary Islands, home to 81,000 people, and a giant, scary volcano. Suppose it erupts, and the eruption is big enough that it triggers a massive landslide.

    Massive enough, to send over a billion tons of rock sliding into the ocean, causing… A megatsunami.


    The initial wave is 914 meters (3000 feet) high. It surges upwards and outwards, setting off a chain reaction of deadly waves in all directions. In 6 hours, a series of 30 meter (100 ft) waves will batter the American East Coast.


    Ramming speed: 900 km/h (560 mph). One of the 7 Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting buoys floating along the Atlantic Coast will undoubtedly register this mega-displacement of water, giving the U.S. Tsunami Warning Center time to alert anyone who might be in danger.


    The only problem is, that’s 38 percent of the American population. The entire U.S. East Coast would be affected, putting 14 states, and 124 million people, including key members of the government, at risk.

    If you can’t make it out in time, then climb. In major cities, the newest and tallest skyscrapers would be the safest places to go. And your own safety will be entirely your responsibility, since emergency services wouldn’t really be able to take action until the onslaught was over.


    In the best case scenario, you’ve managed to evade the disaster completely. Your family is safe, but your home, not so much.Worse, you’re on the roof of a skyscraper, safe, with a group of survivors, waiting for a helicopter to come pick you up, which might take a very long time. But in the worst case scenario…

    The death toll would be staggering; the economic impact, easily costing billions, if not trillions of dollars. It will take decades to rebuild, and yet, is it wrong to suggest that we might’ve gotten off easy?

    Mega Tsunami’s are a total freak of nature but when one hits it can be disastrous.


    After seeing the devastation from the Japan Tsunami in 2011 it makes you wonder; what would happen if a Tsunami hit Boston, New York, Philly, D.C., Miami…?

          13 December 2013

          Posted by DAVE PETLEY :idea:

          Question: – “I$ IT TRUE THAT ONE of the CANARY ISLANDS VOLCANOES I$ GOING TO COLLAPSE IN A GIANT LAND$LIDE :?: :?:

          :sad: I WA$ TOLD that IT’LL CAU$E A T$UNAMI THAT’LL DEVA$TATE the COA$TS of EUROPE and AMERICA” :idea:

          David Petley: “Excuse me – I’M just GOING to BANG MY HEAD ON the TABLE…” [thump!] :idea: :lol:

          The question of course refers to A SCARE a FEW YEARS AGO, based on a peer-reviewed paper, THAT A FLANK of CUMBRE VIEJA VOLCANO on the island of LA PALMA in the CANARY ISLANDS….COULD COLLAPSE….GENERATING A MEGA-TSUNAMI….THAT WOULD initially be about 1,000 metres high, and would still be about 50 metres high when it REACHed for example THE EASTERN SEABOARD OF the USA (Wikipedia has quite a nice article on mega-tsunamis if you are interested). :idea:

          It is fair to say that in my experience there is agreement that SUCH A FLANK COLLAPSE COULD OCCUR (and there is lots of evidence that SUCH EVENTS HAVE HAPPENED in the PAST)…..BUT……. the level of support for THE MEGA-TSUNAMI HYPOTHE$I$ I$…….
          …..shall we say, somewhat LACKING WITHIN the SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY. :idea:

          There is a nice EVALUATION of the work by DR GEORGE PARARAS-CARAYANNIS, which CONCLUDES that:

          “The THREAT of MEGA TSUNAMI GENERATION FROM COLLAPSES of OCEANIC ISLAND STRATOVOLCANOES……..
          HAS BEEN GREATLY OVERSTATED. :idea:

          NO MEGA TSUNAMIS CAN BE EXPECTED” :idea: :idea:

          A key issue here is the MECHANICS OF the LANDSLIDE. :idea:

          TO GENERATE A very LARGE TSUNAMI…THIS SLIDE WOULD HAVE TO HAPPEN VERY FAST…AND….AS AN ESSENTIALLY COHERENT BLOCK.

          Remember that this is a landslide of 500 cubic kilometres – we do not think that very, very large landslides usually behave like this.

          The CHANCES ARE that a COLLAPSE WOULD OCCUR IN STAGES OVER a LONGER TIME PERIOD, which WOULD GENERATE A MUCH SMALLER WAVE. :idea:

          Most SCIENTISTS RECOGNISE THAT the SINGLE, INTACT BLOCK COLLAPSING VERY FAST idea IS THEORETICALLY POSSIBLE….BUT….that IT IS….THE EXTREME END MEMBER…..OF A WIDE RANGE OF SCENARIOS….AND thus IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY.

          There are OTHER ISSUES too (like WHERE ARE the TSUNAMI DEPOSITS FROM OTHER MEGA-TSUNAMIS given that WE KNOW THAT PREVIOUS COLLAPSES HAVE OCCURRED :?:

          A TSUNAMI ON THIS SCALE….SHOULD LEAVE DEPOSITS THAT WOULD BE VERY EASY TO MAP). :idea:

          Unfortunately, although most landslide scientists view the LIKELIHOOD OF A SINGLE COHERENT LANDSLIDE as being VERY LOW
          the actual EVIDENCE to support that view in the case of these types of landslides has NOT been STRONG.

          Unfortunately, DE$PITE these REBUTTAL$ the story has had remarkable traction.

          Take this page on VIRGIN MEDIA :idea: for example, which has

          this wonderful (?) image:

          http://www.virginmedia.com/science-nature/natural-world/natural-disasters-waiting-to-happen.php

          http://www.virginmedia.com/science-nature/natural-world/natural-disasters-waiting-to-happen.php

          And text that says: :wink: :lol:

          “A colossal wave caused by A CHUNK OF ROCK the size of the Isle of Man breaking off La Palma in the Canary Islands, WILL one day DEVASTATE Southern EUROPE AND and the entire East coast of AMERICA. :oops: :evil: :lol:
          Scientists believe this disaster is already way overdue :!: :!: :shock: :grin:
          When it does come, it will cause a mega tsunami that will hit with the power of an ATOMIC BOMB :razz: travelling at the speed of a JUMBO JET :!: :evil:
          Starting off at 2000ft, the giant wave will still be 150ft high by the time it reaches the other side of the ATLANTIC……. :roll:
          DESTROYING everything in its wake and affecting UP TO 100 MILLION PEOPLE.” :mad: :wink: :idea:

          Given the RIDICULOU$ness of this sort of STATEMENT (and there are worse examples out there)………
          IT IS GOOD TO SEE A NEW PAPER that ERODES the CASE FOR the MEGATSUNAMI STILL FURTHER. :idea:

          This paper, Hunt et al. (2013) has just been published in the journal Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems (sadly the ARTICLE IS BEHIND a PAYWALL). :idea:

          The paper PRESENTS A very DETAILED ANALYSIS OF the DEPOSITS LEFT on the sea floor BY CANARY ISLAND FLANK COLLAPSES. :idea:

          The RESEARCH is METICULOUS and COMPREHENSIVE. :idea: :idea:

          The authors note that the SEA FLOOR DEPOSITS RECORD EIGHT VOLCANIC FLANK COLLAPSE EVENTS….the LARGEST OF which WAS about 350 CUBIC KILOMETRES. :idea:

          However, THE KEY element is that EACH DEPOSIT IS formed from A SERIES of SUBUNITS….EACH of WHICH CAN BE clearly
          DIFFERENTIATED FROM OTHER SUB-UNITS….. based on the geochemistry of the materials that they contain. :idea:

          So, the INTERPRETATION by the authors, which sounds very sensible to me, is that EACH SUB-UNIT REPRESENTS A DIFFERENT PHASE OF the COLLAPSE EVENT. :idea:

          In other words, each of THESE MAJOR COLLAPSES DID NOT OCCUR AS A SINGLE…COHERENT BLOCK…..BUT……AS A SERIES
          OF SECTIONS…ONE after ANOTHER. :idea: :idea:

          If you want an analogy, then what better example than the famous 1993 PANTAI REMIS LANDSLIDE in Malaysia: :idea: :shock:

          The implications are clear. :idea:
          Previous FLANK COLLAPSES have occurred AS A SERIES OF DISTINCT EVENTS rather than as a single coherent block.
          Each of these could have been able to generate a very large wave, and even a local tsunami.
          However, they WOULD NOT HAVE GENERATED A MEGA-TSUNAMI. :idea:

          There is no reason to believe that a future event will behave differently, so this SCARE should be consigned to the GARBAGE can once and for all. :smile:

          FUKUSHIMA Catastrophe……..T$UNAMI or NUKE :?:

          The Japanese nuclear disaster happened on 11/11/2011. :wink:

          Was this Japan’s 9/11 CARRIED OUT BY the $AME ORGANIZATION that carried out the events OF 9/11 in AMERICA :?: :idea:

          JIM STONE is a freelance journalist and researcher who has undertook some SERIOUS INVESTIGATION into the cause of the FUKUSHIMA “CATASTROPHE”. :idea:

          He says the JAPAN EARTHQUAKE WAS MAN MADE :idea: and had a peak seismic intensity of 6.67 on the Richter scale. :idea:

          The TSUNAMI WAS CAUSED BY NUCLEAR WEAPONS :idea: a total of six of them, set off in sequence in the Japan Trench TO TRIGGER an
          ENORMOUUS TSUNAMI……and……

          Fukushima was destroyed by the Stuxnet virus and nuclear weapons, while its staff was confused by the mayhem caused by the tsunami. :mad:
