weatherpruf Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 As far as I know there were some loons saying we might be at risk if the isle of La Palma slid into the ocean one day. A couple of tsunami pros. But none of them were vulcanologists and as one of the latter said " ...and it shows." The volcano experts dismissed the idea out of hand, saying we might see a high tide of a few inches or so. I'm not a scientist but I do read.....

If the whole side of the island did collapse into the ocean there would be a massive tsunami. You just have to look at the Hawaiian Islands for evidence. They have had countless similar events throughout history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the volcanologists vs the tsunami guys....I don't remember the details but I think the volcano experts didn't think half the island would slide in that way.....

I also remember that programming. Hard to say how much was hype and how much was fact. Also difficult to predict the intensity of a tsunami along the coastal US Atlantic, since the continental shelf extends out pretty far, as opposed to the Pacific Coast, including Hawaii.

I read it was due to a meteoroid impact or something and there was evidence found in the sediment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was around 1300 and the evidence was from the cape. But it could be from a mega hurricane too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have not seen much follow up since then to confirm if there was actually one about 2300 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
