Mega-Tsunami

I blogged about Supervolcanoes earlier, and now we can worry about a Mega-Tsunami, which are caused by a massive landslide into the sea. Scientists speak of an shaky island just off the coast of Africa that could destroy the Eastern United States.

What will happen when the volcano on La Palma collapses? Scientists predict that it will generate a wave that will be almost inconceivably destructive, far bigger than anything ever witnessed in modern times. It will surge across the entire Atlantic in a matter of hours, engulfing the whole US east coast, sweeping away everything in its path up to 20km inland. Boston would be hit first, followed by New York, then all the way down the coast to Miami and the Caribbean.

Gulp...
