BiC Posted March 11, 2011 Author Posted March 11, 2011 Not expecting a huge one, but 1 to 3 feet. "Treat your wife with honor, respect, and understanding as you live together so that you can pray effectively as husband and wife." 1 Peter 3:7
SEHpicker Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Not expecting a huge one, but 1 to 3 feet. A 3 foot tsunami could be extremely devastating... especially to low lying ground. It's not like a 3 foot wave hitting the beach, miles of ocean behind it is at the same level and can have unbelievable force and momentum. Please take care if you are on the west coast.

BiC Posted March 11, 2011 Author Posted March 11, 2011 Sorry... did not mean to take away the significance. I was comparing it to the 33 foot one in Japan- which I should had mentioned. Not expecting a huge one, but 1 to 3 feet. A 3 foot tsunami could be extremely devastating... especially to low lying ground.

skipclone 1 Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 I was right on the ocean last weekend-but it was cold and rainy so we went to a kind of hydrotherapy spa instead of the beach.

d halfnote Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 With modern communications it's easy to forget that the world---& I mean the real world, not just human society---has always been & likely always will be a place that operates in a more or less continuous way. There have always been catastrophies happening but we usually didn't hear of them constantly, if even at all, b/c of time & distance. Now everything's a constant onslaught of competitive news alerts. Look how things flip from Libya--->Charley Sheen--->Earthquakes--->Lindsey Lohan(d)--->what's next?... The fact that humans do have the potential for some serious, even potentially Earth-ending technological disasters up our sleeves (where they'll stay, we all hope) generally pales beside what the world itself can do in it's "self-corrective mode"...& most events in the natural world (weather, geological shifts, etc) are such things. I don't mean to downplay the real losses in human terms but let's recall that entire species disappear regularly, often without our notice (though often with our help). Optimism remains the best approach. d=halfnote
