Nobody else finds it interesting that OP is posting from the Canary-fooking-Islands, ok

There’s no way la Palma will impact the US east coast and dc in any meaningful way in our lifetime.


Also, I'm confused about this little nugget. It says 30-40 miles from the coast. DC is over 80 miles from the ocean.


DC is at sea level. And at the very end of a long tidal river. This basically places DC at the bottom of a topographic “funnel”, where the effects of a tsunami will be magnified the most.

Do some interweb research about which coastal towns got the worst damage during the Japanese tsunami. The towns that saw the greatest flooding height were all at the back ends of coves and inlets. As water is pushed up into them, the terrain confines it, keeps it from spreading out. So it piles up at the end of such inlets. The Chesapeake bay is a giant inlet. The effects will be far worse here than in other places that are just straight coastline.


Only the tidal basin is sea level. The average elevation is over 100'

The science comes directly from NASA, and it’s serious enough that I would not invest in beach-front property over the next 5 to 15 years (seriously).

If anyone doubts the wobble, just google it.


What do you think about Baltimore, walking distance from the inner harbor?


Luxury condos - like the Sailcloth Factory - could be in major trouble.

Just like there’s never be another Pandemic ala Spanish flu (hello Covid)


I work in Disaster Preparedness and we had been planning for a pandemic as long as I can remember and ramped it up since the H1N1 scare. The models do not show the la Palma scenario impacting as severely as OP describes. Additionally, the earthquake swarms are normal and part of the earth relieving tension. That being said, there are always black swans...

So, this says that even the worst case scenario for la Palma isn’t likely to produce big tsunamis.

Pretty sure the scary scenarios listed in recent articles are clickbait using questionable research and isolated opinions.

It is not off the coast of Spain. It’s off the coast of Africa (and part of Spain).

I never doubted the potential for a pandemic. Germs can spread globally rather easily.

But La Palma has these spurts of activity a handful of times each year, and then the activity disappears. If it erupts, it won’t be catastrophic for the USA. I similarly do not believe the predictions that CA will break off and float away.

To the contrary, I absolutely know I’ll be dead if it happens. So I’m not worried about it.

I thought you were talking about the La Palma detention facility in AZ. I need to work less and get out more.
