Hah its Las Palmas or the other one aint it? And I've also thought about it before. In Yorkshire we are protected by Ireland from the West (sorry Hash), the whole south of England (inc Manchester (bye bye) and the Pennines) from the south and the Continent of Europe from the East. So we're sitting pretty. Not sure about Guernsey though, that doesn't have any massive mountain ranges as protection perchance?
i posted that on the newcastle board its a ticking time bomb scientists say itll happen in the next hundred years wiping out ireland britain and most of eastern america so as the old tattoo goes laugh now cry later
It did cause some minor damage on the American Pacific coast though with people being swept out to see. There are a number of factors that determine how hard a Tsunami hits an area and the Tsunami that would be created by the landslide in Grand Canaria would be far greater than the ones produced by Earthquakes.
As long as it's only South Wales i don't give a ****.I ****ing hate South Walians more than i hate the ****ing English
Las Palmas is the capital aint it. I think I mean fuertoventura or whatever its called. I know its one of the Canaries. It has big **** off crack right down the middle, and a big **** off volcano waiting to blow.
Today's Tsunami would have been blocked by the Land Masses of America to our West and Africa and Russia to our East. They would block any Tsunami's emenating from that part of the World a Tsunami from the Grand Canarie landslide would hit us though.
From that link - After six hours it would reach Britain, where waves up to 40 ft high would hit southwest England at 500 miles per hour, travel a mile inland and obliterate almost everything in its path. Even Britain's more sheltered shores, in the North Sea and Irish Sea, will be struck by smaller but still significant swells, causing widespread flooding in major coastal cities.
But that's nothing compared to the Super Volcano in Iceland which is ready to blow, and will put us into a mini ice age I'm trying to convince the missus that we should spend about 3 grand on 6,000 tins of Tesco value beans for the garage just in case.
tbh I wouldn't take scientists' opinion too seriously They got global cooling wrong in the 70s, global warming wrong this decade and not to mention their catastrophe predictions about bird flu/swine flu
youre right but weve moved on from today to the impending gran canaria collapse ............... a work buddy of mine moved house out to the mountains last year hes born again christian and reckons there book or bible whatever they have predicts our tsunami within the next 10 years
They are just theories and worst case scenarious, things that are likely to happen but not necessarily in our life time.
your right john lol one day he asked me about god and i replied **** off now we only speak on a purely proffesional level lol
