(note: In the Pacific it is called a Tsunami, in the Atlantic a Tidal Wave, I am referencing the Tsunami, to ponder the possibility of a Tidal Wave.)

First off I want to get my possibly callous statement out of the way when I say that I am thrilled that Mother Nature is still a more efficient killer than man.

My entire bloodline for the past 200 years (except me) lives less than 170 feet above sea level. The Asian wave in places was 30 feet high, which means that a similar wave could travel for miles across the coastal plain. The one in Asia traveled up to two miles in parts of Sri Lanka.

So there is some complex math involvolving the altitude of the land above sea level, the height of the wave, the dyanamic of the coastal seafloor, and the ammount of water involved.

My closest relatives wouldn't make it. My distant relatives were the hard hit by the floods of floyd. Its a roll of the dice for those folks.

Maybe I should consider breeding or something...
