Tsunami Drill SoCal
Anyone see this, or hear anything yesterday? Maybe someone was on the water and seen something going on? Just curious. Thinking about a Tsunami is kind of concerning, especially in a tiny plastic boat!!

I could be wrong on this but I believe depending on the waves amplitude, if you are out deep enough you'd actually be safer on the water than on land. In this case I think it rolls under you like a really big swell The good news is there are a lot of places 100' above sea level really close to the shore in CA. If a tsunami were to hit say florida or louisiana, it would reach much further inland and destroy a much larger area. check out the graphic on this page and hit play. http://science.howstuffworks.com/nat...s/tsunami3.htm
This is from the bottom of that page actually: " tsunami's ability to maintain speed is directly influenced by the depth of the water. A tsunami moves faster in deeper water and slower in shallower water. So unlike a normal wave, the driving energy of a tsunami moves through the water as opposed to on top of it. Therefore, as a tsunami moves though deep water at hundreds of miles an hour, it is barely noticeable above the waterline. A tsunami is typically no more than 3 feet (1 meter) high until it gets close to shore." In summary, the answer to tsunami safety is to never stop kayak fishing deep water. |

"And as were the days of Noah, so shall be the coming of the son of man" Matthew 24:37
Omg, this tsunami drill thing made me think of this verse.

Everyone dies sooner or later. If it be by tsunami, then so be it.
