The Snake Event | Earthquake: M3.5 CANARY ISLANDS, SPAIN REGION pg. 528

Huh.

Cleaning out my desk and found a post it note referring to a post I had on the other thread page 1559.

It hit me that maybe I misinterpreted the report put here recently written for the nuclear power plants. It talked about a 1 to 3 meter wave (3 to 9 feet). I said that would wipe out the low barrier Islands ( elevation 0 to 3 feet, maybe 6 in places) but hopefully spare the nukes and chemical plants.

Here was my old post:

Regarding a one meter tsunami, a prediction I've seen here a few times by the more optimistic scenarios:

Tsunamis range in size from inches to over a hundred feet. In deep water (greater than 600 feet/180 meters), tsunamis are rarely over 3 feet (1 meter) and will not be noticed by ships due to their long period (time between crests). As tsunamis propagate into shallow water, the wave height can increase by over 10 times.Tsunami heights vary greatly along a coast.

A one meter/3 foot tsunami wave would slam the east coast as at least a 30 foot wave. While terrible for the barrier islands and ports, it obviously is not as bad as a 10 foot tsunami slamming in as a 100 foot wave. But neither is it a nothing burger.

So a one meter to 3 meter wave hits the east coast as maybe 30 to 90 feet. Is that what the report was saying? I feel confused now.

Maybe there is no room for optimism at all and with all the chemicals everywhere the coast will be a barren wasteland for decades? What exactly do these guys predicting a 1 meter to three meter wave imply for the east coast when that wave hits shallow water? Or are they talking about the size of the wave hitting USA land?

Anybody with more sense than me know the answer? Thanks.

Look at your spirit! Nasty talk against people you know nothing about. If you differ in thought in opinion go tell him that. I believe what he's saying and ive seen things he has said come to pass. So I don't know what you THINK youre doing but it seems to be a cancer in men like you. Attack blindly using words as weapons. WEAK as hell.

i didnt attack blindly i gave you easily verifiable fact that there is no fault or subduction zone near la palma... it is simply a hot spot in the crust .... blindly would be the thread title and all the total bullshit spewn here as fact rather then opinion


if you can point me to where emsc says quakes are moving north or any actual evidence other then some retard on the internet sayin so please inform me cuz i looked at last 30 day quakes on ign site and there is like 8 quakes in last 30 days that are north of the eruption site and just as many to the south of the magma chamber which tells me they are totally insignificant


sorry to sound like a jerkoff but im an asshole and i dont deny that at all... but i try to keep things realistic and factual... spewing utter bs is just as bad if not worse then tptb down playin and minimizing the situation and only takes away any and all credibility

sorry.

The course of this volcano has ebbed and flowed just as this thread has but there is a huge uptick now and the only real question is…just how bad will it get?! :amazing:

The biggest tsunami recorded was 1,720 feet tall. Lituya Bay, Alaska.

This is Japan in 2011 50-60 miles north of Fukushima. 20 miles north of this location the wave was estimated at 40 meters. I don't know how high it is in this video because I cannot tell how far inland this is. But this is what a tsunami going over flat land will look like. The waves are not the surfing type.

sorry.

lets not derail about my actions... ill try not to be a jerk in what i post


i would just like to point out there is no fault line or subduction zone near la palma and there is 0 significant quake movement to the north... if im wrong about that please point me to where i can get that info cuz i would love to analyze it and take it into account
