Mega-Tsunami
The East Coast of America faces a threat more devastating than the hurricanes which yearly ravage this area, more devastating than the tornadoes that annually ravage the Midwest.
A threat generated thousands of miles away but liable to impact on the 40 million people who inhabit and call the East Coast of America their home.

The Day the world Quaked
On December 26th 2004 an area of the seabed off the coast of Sumatra, near Banda Aceh, Indonesia, rumbled and heaved to life, as along a 1000 km stretch of the bottom of the Indian Ocean the junction between the India and Burma’s tectonic Plates literally unjammed, allowing the India Plate to slide under the Burma Plate, this sudden release of pent up energy resulted in a massive quake, registering 9.0 on the scale, producing a shelf 6 meters high along the length of the tear along the sea bottom, this was no ordinary quake and no ordinary release of stress, it would continue a full 10 minutes before subsiding, alter the shape of the earth and leave thousands dead with the massive tsunami created by the movement of the seabed and the sea water that movement displaced. |
