Now we've got this to worry about.

Yes, Now will water run faster over a 36 or a 400 grit bottom?

Well? I'm thinking the ocean water does not run. Since the wave energy is transferred side-to-side, water molecule-to-water molecule.

However, if referring to, say, a small narrow and shallow stream? Water will move faster over the 400 grit bottom.

Actually true. The water does not move forward, just the wave energy.

 

[PJay]

I hope so. And, we are starting to clean out to move. Maybe, we should let Mother Nature do it. We never know what’s up day to day, but we live it to our best abilities. I have lived through many hurricanes, but not tsunamis.

Truth.
Just survived my umpteenth hurricane.
Where moving to?

Only Tsunami I ever saw was when a 700lb guy cannon-balled into a swimming pool.

So water moves faster in Florida then it does in Maine unless an harvest moon induced undertow changes its direction.

Well ... If the super-fluid nocturnal illuminator aligns with the reverse flow and orients with hydrophilic tendencies, then, yes, you are absolutely correct.

 

[Monello]

To be technical, it's an oblate spheroid.

I knew it...
Same reason that Volvo Penta twin prop wins, no matter what side of the equator one is on it pushes water behind it.

I was born in Louisiana, and have lived in TX, MS, AL, GA, and, now MD. We thought TX, first, back when because one of my bros has a compound outside of LeGrange, but are now rethinking it, because of the mass of illegals. Then we thought Midwest, but that is far to travel. Maybe SC, but that is hurricane prone. Now, thinking West VA because of a friends suggestion. And, I, always, loved John Denver. Where do you live?

Just finished helping a family member pack that lives in MD. She's retiring from military and moving to West VA.

Louisiana is home for me, for now.

Been a whole lot of 3+ quakes of late over there. Problem they are now speaking of now is the added new weight of all the lava being ejected and running into the the ocean building up a new heavy mass over that part of the island under water which could cause the cleaving off of part of the island at the land fault lines.

Great point....it took longer than expected to reach the sea,...thus more pooling.
I suppose the other question that should be explored is the chance of a caldera collapsing.

Unfortunately, I missed statistics and probability class at the university I never attended. However, being experienced in living thus far, I can, with full confidence, say, that there is a probability of six of one, or half a dozen of another, chance, that nothing will happen, or that something bad will happen. And you can take that to any bookie.

Well this can't be good. If the island is rising in one area and lowering in the other, (tilting), the pressures must be enormous.

That alteration was NOT on their radar screen. All the geologists were watching for the tell-tale bulge on the SW active zone. Yes the rift is along that venting zone but I don't know if anyone has checked if that has expanded. If so....there should be some official statement made by the USGS as well as they guy watching My Three Sons in the oval office.

I know they registered three 4.1+ e-quakes in the last two days...and that sent a degree of alarm through those paying attention.
Even a modest avalanche could produce a 15-30 foot wave across the Atlantic...and we'd only have about 8 hours to conduct an evacuation. Yet no pronouncement, no drills, no activation of coastal military bases and Red Cross resources...FEMA? Technically this could be another Pearl Harbor "sleeping at the switch" event.

PS TWO 6.5 e-quakes yesterday ...one Alaska and the other off Oahu...now that Kilauea has been overly active for a week now.

Just as long as Yellowstone remains quiet.

The caldera blowing the same time as La Palma exploding and causing a massive tsunami.... I dunno..I could pull up a lawn chair and a cooler full of beer to watch all that go down.

That would be just as good as an asteroid.
