Of course. I hope it's not horrible... Maybe just some small waves.
yeah I'm thinking places in Indonesia, Micronesia, Papua New guinea, and the northeastern coast of Australia might get some decent impact...the others are pretty far away...(I've only take a coastal geomorphology class)...paging Dr.Pectus

Isn't height not the only thing we should consider, though? It's the sheer force of the moving water that does the damage.

The ring of fire has been very active in the last decade.
It's just a matter of time for California and/or Alaska.

All this fracking, it is going to set off the Yellowstone caldera and we are going to wipe ourselves out. All these oil people, don't they realize they are committing suicide

I don't think it works that way.

It works that way. All the scientists have proven it to be true.

You can't argue with scientific fact, Rummy. Fracking and HAARP are the two main causes of devastating earthquakes worldwide.

This is not going to be good. Hopefully there are no major cities in the path or God forbid another nuclear plant in the path of the wave.

Actually it is global warming that is causing all the earthquakes and that is fact. You can't argue with fact.

Are they fracking in New Guinea?

Don't forget that the gays are the main cause of hurricanes too

I don't argue the science, Rummy. Other than fracking and HAARP, the other main contributor of earthquakes is the sheer weight of all human beings on this planet causing constant and immense pressure on the Earth's crust.
Just another reason we need to thin the human herd by about 3 billion people.
