Tsunami: Why America's Coast Would Be Toast
It sounds like the plot of a fanciful Hollywood disaster movie. A dangerous volcano in the Canary Islands erupts, sends a giant tsunami travelling faster than a jet aircraft into the major population centres of America's east coast, killing tens of millions and wiping out New York and Washington DC.

But unlike the eruption in the 1997 film Volcano (which threatened in its tagline that 'the coast is toast') scientists believe the threat from the volcano of Cumbre Vieja on the island of La Palma is real, and that it could send a massive slab of rock twice the size of the Isle of Man crashing into the Atlantic.

The effect would be to generate a huge wave with the energy equivalent to the combined output of America's power stations working flat out for six months.

After travelling across 4,000 miles of the Atlantic for about nine hours the tsunami would hit the Caribbean islands and the east coasts of Canada and the US with devastating effect. It would stretch for many miles and sweep into the estuaries and harbours for up to 20 miles inland, destroying everything in its path.

Those scientists are warning that the US government is not taking the threat from Cumbre Vieja seriously enough and not enough is being done to monitor it. Professor Bill McGuire, the director of the Benfield Grieg Hazard Research Centre at University College, London, warned that Boston, New York, Washington DC and Miami could be virtually wiped out.

Professor McGuire said close monitoring might at best provide two weeks warning of the disaster but that despite knowing about the danger for a decade, no one was keeping a proper watch on the mountain.

The two or three seismographs left to pick up signs of movement in the rock were not capable of detecting a looming eruption weeks in advance, Professor McGuire warned.

"What we need now is an integrated volcanic monitoring set up to give maximum warning of a coming eruption. The US government must be aware of the La Palma threat. They should certainly be worried, and so should the island states in the Caribbean that will really bear the brunt of a collapse.

"They're not taking it seriously. Governments change every four to five years and generally they're not interested in these things," he added.

A monitoring station equip-ped to look deep into the heart of the mountain and spot the early signs of an eruption might cost hundreds of thousands of pounds. In comparison, the US was spending $4m (£2.2m) a year scouring the skies for kilometre-sized asteroids which were much less of a threat, Professor McGuire said.

The Cumbre Vieja volcano last erupted in 1949 and its western flank is highly unstable. It could literally split apart next time the volcano erupts, which could be at any time in the next 1,000 years.

Any evacuation plan would have to be based on the forecast of an eruption, since once the collapse happened it would be too late, he said. However, it could be a false alarm. Several eruptions could come and go before one of them sent the mountainside crashing into the sea in a matter of minutes.

Professor McGuire acknowledged that the decision to depopulate the US eastern seaboard would not be an easy one. "I don't honestly know how we handle that," he said. "As scientists all we should really do is advise people of what we think the risks are."

The wave front from the collapse of the mountain would spread out in a crescent, striking the west African coast with a wall of water more than 300ft high in two to three hours. Its northern side would also brush against Europe. Within three to four hours, a 33ft-high wave would smash into the south coast of England, causing immense damage.

Unlike a normal wave, the tsunami would not break rapidly but just keep coming, said Professor McGuire. "You're not talking about the destruction of the UK economy, but very serious damage along the south coast," he said. Trying to stop the mountain collapsing was simply out of the question, he said. He has calculated that it would take 35 million years to dig out the dangerous part of the volcano and move it away.


Death.
Uh...personally, being a Christian and all, I feel the rapture is coming, along with the rise of the Antichrist.

Of course, I'm not making this topic for a religion debate.

What do you think about it? I think it will happen very soon. Which sucks ass, because I'm on the coast.

[*jooleeah*]

Wow...that's just...scary. I don't want to die. ><

[aznxdreamer]

cool.

[sadolakced acid]

why is it if the world ends it's the antichrist's fault?

[roberts_pink_dru...]

??????????? i'm to lazy to read all that.. basically from what sadolakced acid said its the end of the world..

[*xcaitlinx*]

i think that we will have a tsunami, but I beg to differ that it will happen any day....because you, being on the coast, would have been warned already. Thank god i live in CENTRAL jersey...

[iheartsimba]

aww...you dont think it could come way up to atlanta right =[?

[tofumonzter]

why is it if the world ends it's the antichrist's fault?

did he said it's the antichrist's fault in his post? .. no

well you know, world disaster is not only tsunami

for the christians on createblog:
myself being a christian i have nothing to say, becuase when it comes, it comes. but i don't think that we should just wait here and let the tsunamic or whatever come.
we need to pray for the people around the world, that they will recevie Christ, because how many christian was in the tsunami disaster?
we can't just seat here and look at the monitor and keep saying that 'oh it's coming..' we need to pray that more people will receive Christ... please...

hope you will get mad at me if you are not a christian.

[Just_Dream]

... Unlike a few otherse, I did actually read all that you posted (excluding the link). I do believe that anything's possible and that perhaps the U.S. should try to prevent any deaths by actually monitoring the tsunami that could possibly occur if the volcano does erupt. Is that area (from east U.S. to Europe to Africa, to Carribean, etc.) known as the "Ring of Fire?" Just wondering... Although that probably doesn't have much to do with this thread. :/

I can. :-P

Yeah, the article is vague, but it shows what can happen.

[TrustU2HurtMe]

too lazy to read but i saw tsunami and american coast so my comments -
muhaha i live in texas by the gulf coast. i really can't picture a tsunami happening. if it does, it does. *shrug* you live, you die. try to make the most of what you have, right? you can't live your life in fear.

[*Podomaht*]

I'd like to go through the process of being married.

[SystemDamaged]

Oh well that's a butt. I live in the East Coast too, Maryland.

[innovation]

I'd like to go through the process of being married.

you stole that from me. -insert gavel emoticon here because i'm too lazy to look it up-

[Shattered_Hope]

err...ok...I think you should find some other hobby...

[*salcha*]

phew, california here.

[*Podomaht*]

you stole that from me. -insert gavel emoticon here because i'm too lazy to look it up-

Well, how else am I going to sound clever?

[RandomHero]

I'm in California....yeah.

[Flaunted]

i live in the mid west.
come flock here californians
and other coast people!

[*x____duckii*]

Wow. That's scary. I don't see why the government isn't taking this threat so seriously. I really think this will happen any time soon =\

Uh...personally, being a Christian and all, I feel the rapture is coming, along with the rise of the Antichrist.

well... technically i guess he didn't say that.

but why is antichrist bad? accordingly, i think i AM antichrist, based on various definitions being someone who is not christian.

[whomps]

Wow that reminds me of that movie "The Day After Tomorrow"..

[juliar]

Idiot government. Watch that volcano erupt.
Pow. I'm dead.
How jolly, jolly, jolly.

[JlIaTMK]

why is it if the world ends it's the antichrist's fault?

Exactly. I dont see why its the antichrists fault, and you cant say that all christians moderate like this. Im christian and i dont see why it would be their fault for this. Yes, it reminds me of day after tomorrow o.O. . Eh, i think our world will come to an end in the next 10 years or so.

[HelloSunshine]

Oh, agreed, being Christian and the antichrist BUT i try to avoid thinking about it that'd be horrid but luckily I'm not on that coast but still. That's horrific.

If you look at my post, I don't say that it was the Antichrist's fault.

It's the end of the world. We're all gonna die. So get laid and wasted while you can.

[*x____duckii*]

So will you waste me while you can?

[demolished]

dam, that is very scary, why not move to somewhere else cuz you never when you going to died.


i live in the Southern California Coast, a great place between San Andres Fault and Pacific Ocean. ... maybe not cuz i'm scare of the tsunami coming directly to L.A from India Ocean and San Andres Fault might "misplace" me.


RIP !!!!!!!! just in case, we might have a Cb Cemonial to honer all the deads of the Cb members.

[WhiteLotus*]

It's very possible that it could hit the U.S. I wouldn't be suprisied.

I don't think it's going to happen soon, though. It could happen in the next 1,000 years, you know?

[yukichan]

im scared now..even though i dont live on the mainland..i think the government should take it more seriously b/c thousands of ppl would die if something like this happened..something like the southeast tsunami might occur which will kill thousands of ppl...
