7.2 quake

The USGS says 7.6. The Japan Meteorological Agency also says 7.6.

One of these times it's going to be Godzilla. I just know it.

I saw a ripple in the Brazos River a bit ago....

"Only" 9 foot waves forecasted.

But I'm not there so that's easy for me to say. Maybe that is more dangerous than it sounds.

any good feeds to watch online?

"BABY NOSTRADAMUS" JUST PREDICTED FLOOD 2.0, AN 800-METER TSUNAMI & SAID EARTH ISN'T REAL - ALL FROM HIS CAR SEAT

This kid didn't just ramble - he delivered a full end-times prophecy with zero hesitation.

He literally says:

"There's gonna be a tsunami… like 800 meters in the air."
"They call it The Flood 2.0."
"There's gonna be sharks… great white sharks… when the flood comes."

Then he suddenly drops:

"I'm horrified."

I'm watching this thread, but right now it's just showing a bunch of boats getting out to open water....



ETA: not sure how current/live this footage is, but it seems pretty close since it's around 1am over there....

Well we've already had Sharknado so why not Sharknami? This would at least be plausible.

I read 40cm wave on bbc....

Man, we are screwed.

If thats not a well done AI, that kId has to be some sort of Uber Genius Rainman type who watched a lot of disaster TV shows. No way a 4 year old has that kind of vocabulary and talks about life as computer simulation but can't comprehend the size of a 800 meter wave vs a house.

Applying the 48 month rule might be the best course of action here.....

Even with a 7.6, a lot depends on the vertical displacement, so maybe there wasn't much and the potential height that is forecasted is fairly low.

#10. MAGNITUDE 8.6 (1950). Arunachal Pradesh, India - Referred to as the Assam-Tibet earthquake, this quake produced intense shaking, triggered sandblows, ground cracks, and large landslides across the region. All told, 780 people died.

As far as the kid's prediction goes......

800 M = 2,624 ft

Burj Khalifa (2,717 feet- 163 stories)



IF a 7.4 produces a 1.3 foot wave, an 8.7 produces a 35 foot wave (roughly of course, there are all sorts of variables creating the wave height however the underlying key statistic is the amount of energy released), What's it going to take to produce a 2624 foot wave?

It's not possible to create a wave that high with an earth quake. But it can be generated by a massive landslide into the ocean from rocks, etc sliding in from a mountain, such as the Canary Islands (which have been talked about being a threat in this area)

On the night of July 9, 1958, an earthquake along the Fairweather Fault in the Alaska Panhandle loosened about 40 million cubic yards (30.6 million cubic meters) of rock high above the northeastern shore of Lituya Bay. This mass of rock plunged from an altitude of approximately 3000 feet (914 meters) down into the waters of Gilbert Inlet (see map below). The impact force of the rockfall generated a local tsunami that crashed against the southwest shoreline of Gilbert Inlet.
The wave hit with such power that it swept completely over the spur of land that separates Gilbert Inlet from the main body of Lituya Bay. The wave then continued down the entire length of Lituya Bay, over La Chaussee Spit and into the Gulf of Alaska. The force of the wave removed all trees and vegetation from elevations as high as 1720 feet (524 meters) above sea level. Millions of trees were uprooted and swept away by the wave. This is the highest runup ever recorded for a tsunami.

Yup. Like that

Just our luck. The Aggies make the playoffs but the world ends.

This is more plausible than many want to admit, but of course there is not a damn thing to do about it.

Disaster Simulation: Canary Islands Tsunami Hits New York City

The Cumbre Vieja collapse risk looks to have been greatly overblown. While volcanic islands are known to suffer massive, catastrophic collapses, (well documented by geologic evidence to have occurred many times in the Hawaiian Islands) it has never been witnessed in human history.

When Cumbre Vieja erupted in 2021, there was no discernable change showing the volcano's flank moved toward the ocean and thus collapse. Modeling done later shows the original estimate by Steven Ward and Simon Day was incorrect.

A better example, albeit much smaller, happened in 2018 when Anak Krakatoa collapsed and triggered a tsunami which ranged in height from 2 meters to 13.5 meters across the Sunda Strait.

Did the prediction come with a waiver?

To be fair, there have been some impressive mega tsunamis witnessed by humans or at least occurring during human history (not prehistoric) and during times where humans were likely around but not jotting down notes on natural disasters.

But the energy in even smaller (relatively) waves at the greater distance would still cause widespread havoc. Storegga Slide is an interesting one to look at.

True, and I was referring to the collapse of a volcanic island like what created the sea cliffs of Molokai when the East Molokai Volcano fell apart about 1.4 million years ago.

Large to mega tsunamis have been witnessed by humans many times. The Vajont Dam overtopping in Italy and Lituya Bay in Alaska are two prime examples of mega, albeit highly localized, tsunamis that are well documented.

Roger that.

I am not a coastal guy so it won't bother me much.

I do like me some Gallatin Gateway area, and just have to hope if Yellowstone bows prevailing winds take it in the away direction.

Plus, now that Hawg told me about the no rules zone just south of there, I may have to try and take my chance.
