Dont' Miss: Forget The Big One, There Is Something Much Worse Coming!
   • Forget The Big One, There Is Somethin...  

If a major tsunami were to occur off the Atlantic coast, cities from New England to New Jersey could be hardest hit by the incoming walls of speeding water. Imagine the Old North Church in Boston, its spire piercing the sky, or the storied Plymouth Rock, witnessing the birth of a nation. Now, envision the relentless force of a tsunami, swallowing these symbols of heritage in a torrent of water. The very essence of New England's identity would be lost beneath the waves. The tidal threat would not spare the vibrant state of New

, where landmarks like the Statue of Liberty and the Atlantic City Boardwalk embody the spirit of the nation. Picture the statue, standing tall in the harbor, or the boardwalk alive with the laughter of visitors. Now, let the imagination wander into the realms of disaster – a tsunami erasing these symbols, reducing them to mere memories. 
Some scientists now think such a terrible scenario could become a reality one day.
Follow me in this video to get to know why and how they think this might happen.

Is the East Coast in Danger?
The East Coast was put on the danger map during a presentation at the Seismological Society of America’s annual meeting, in 2013, and it has been there ever since. 
People on the West Coast are well aware of the earthquake risks linked to the famous San Andreas Fault, but not many are discussing the East Coast's tsunami threat.

The Atlantic Fury Over Centuries
The Atlantic Ocean may not experience as many tsunamis as the Pacific, due to fewer volcanic explosions and tectonic plate movements. However, there have been notable instances of powerful tsunamis in the Atlantic, such as the 1755 disaster in Lisbon and the 1929 waves that hit Grand Banks, Newfoundland.

Megatsunami Trigger in the Canary Islands
Scientists are concerned that the upper East Coast is at high risk due to recent seismic activity in the Atlantic that mirrors the conditions before the devastating 7.2 magnitude Grand Banks quake.
New Jersey’s Meteotsunami
It actually happened that in June 2023, the Northeast was hit by a big storm. At first, this wasn't considered a huge deal according to the National Weather Service.

Tsunami Monitoring Systems
Speaking of tsunami monitoring systems, are you curious to know how they actually work?

The first attempts at tsunami warnings were in the 1920s when Hawaii took the helm. Of course, our monitoring systems are much better today than in the 1920s, so we'd have a real-time warning of any incoming tsunamis.
