ok, so it looks like it wasn't a tsunami afterall... just crazxy wind.

 

[reckedracing]

weak sauce...
i still don't understand why anyone would want to live right next to a HUGE volatile body of water...

 

[posol]

i guess its the same reason people want to live in florida or cali..... "it's nice most of the time"

 

[Havok]

I'll take 3-4 hurricanes a year as opposed to constant rain in the NW, or snow storms in the NE.

 

[reckedracing]

3-4 hurricanes

hmmm, not sure but i think there were a little more than 3 or 4 last year...

hey now, new york gets more annual rain fall than washington state does.

 

[reckedracing]

no complaints from me, washington is a beautiful state...

 

[Celerity]

a volatile body of water ? If Horsehead islands off the coast of Africa landslides, within 5 hours NYC will be no more.

This is Earth, it's all volatile.

 

[reckedracing]

correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't NYC also conveniently located next to a big ass body of water?

 

[posol]

yeah, but its protected by long island

 

[reckedracing]

the only problem i would have with NYC, or the whole eastern seaboard getting hit by a mega tsunami is all the trash would come upstate

i wonder how far inland a mega tsunami could go...

 

[posol]

me and you are safe. if water gets this far in, the world is over. lol

 

[reckedracing]

i think i'm about 90 miles from NYC...
not sure on elevation change

i think i'm good for anything except a BIG ass nuke...

 

[posol]

you'll be good for the blast. and you'll have time to head north to beat the fall out.
