Ancient tsunami 'hit New York'

[minidog]

A huge wave crashed into the New York City region 2,300 years ago, dumping sediment and shells across Long Island and New Jersey and casting wood debris far up the Hudson River.

How do they know? Did they find a tsunami fossil? :hatsoff:

It could never be evidence of a world wide flood.

Shhh, let's not talk about that.

Most of New York will be underwater, if not all of it, before that happens.

:hatsoff:

One reason is the Canary Islands'

Recently, scientists have realised that the next Mega Tsunami is likely to begin on one of the Canary Islands, off the coast of North Africa, where a wall of water will one day race across the entire Atlantic Ocean at the speed of a jet airliner to devastate the east coast of the United States, the Caribbean and Brazil.

Dr Simon Day, who works at the Benfield Greig Hazards Research Centre, University College London*, says that one flank of the Cumbre Vieja volcano on the island of La Palma, in the Canaries, is unstable and could plunge into the ocean during the volcano's next eruption.

yeah but the ground won't go away just the city. the earth nyc stands on will be there. the article, assuming it's validity, didn't say anything about sea level changing from that.

It's an older article, there are many more. Just do a search.

The sea level should change and will if this planet survives much longer.

true, true, sea level changing is a possibility, there's also the oregon earthquakes and Japan tsunami connection that's pretty interesting

I saw a show recently that looked at evidence of a monster tsunami that hit the Pacific Northwest in 1700. Very interesting show.
