Tsunami Risk for West Coast Higher Than Expected | Wired Science | Wired.com

Geeeez... Another thing to fear. Something devastating is coming our way. Sorta... well, maybe. Don't they ever give it a rest? Worry about this, worry about that. Fear, fear, fear. It's like scientist wonks can't get published unless they line up yet another very scary scenario, that COULD happen if all goes as considered.

It's like scientist wonks can't get any attention unless they try to scare people. Think about it... what do they expect to have happen in response to this article.

Friggin' morons.
Tsunami Risk for West Coast Higher Than Expected | Wired Science | Wired.com:

"Tsunamis form when a major earthquake causes a sudden rise or fall in the sea floor which rapidly displaces a large amount of water. A simultaneous rupture of the faults could lead to a far larger earthquake — and more devastating tsunami — than the one in 1964. Because the Yakutat microplate lies beneath a very shallow section of the Pacific Ocean, an earthquake in this region would create a particularly massive wave."
