Do anyone of you know about any Tsunami threats to Hit both sides of the Atlantic Ocean ? US, Portugal, France

The threat of a tsunami was forecast if a large part of the Azores broke away and fell into the sea. Apparently, part of a dormant volcano is crumbling and is at risk of shearing away. This action is believed to be large enough to cause a tsunami that will reach both sides of the Atlantic.

National Geografic website has a lot of information about it. \nIf you go to the linlk provided and then to the section of Natural Forces, you will find a lot of material to support your research. \n\nSecond link is about simulate and understand these events, explaning how it works at all their levels. You can find it to Earthquake, Hurricane, etc. I've putted the link to Vulcanoes\n\nGood luck

Tsunamis and hurricanes are some of the most devastating and ruinous natural diasters known to man, necxt to earthquakes.\nWe saw how strongly tsunamis can effect developing countries when the 2004 tsunami hit. not only did it kill many people, it also destroyed homes and left people hungry and shivering all over that area. Hurricanes also have a huge effect on such countries- there was a hurricane a few years ago that destroyed a small part of India, including a bridge that fell and took some lifes with it.\nAs for developed countries, tsunamis have a lttle less effect on them- the US has monitors all along it's shores to warn it against tsunamis, thus making the number of injured/ killed people during tsunamis drop. As for hurricanes, we all heard about Katrina, and how it destroyed a large part of the southern USA, including New Orleans.\nThese disasters also have a very big impact on a countries political, social and economics. After a natural diaster strikes, the political part of a country is sometimes shattered, because everyone blames the president or prime minister for not warning people in time. Also, the government has to drop everything and start helping people in the country, and also find a way to stop future disasters. as for an impact ona countrie's social standards, we saw how the US came to the help of the people who were injured or left homeless after the tsunami, and this helps a country find out who are its friends, and who's not.  As for economic, the repairs for the country  cost a fortune, so that not all countries can afford to fix everything. also, after katrina hit, the oil prices soared up, something that affects countries all over the world.\nIn conclusion, we see that these natural disasters are still very hard to control, even for a very developed country like the Usa, and the results are always devastating.

I'm on the Atlantic coast of Canada.  We seem to have the same problem.  I live on an island and I too am wondering if I'll ever be able to go out without an umbrella for an afternoon.  At least we aren't getting hit like some of you poor folks down on the Eastern seabord of the States.

YES!!!! I am sooooo scared. I live about a mile from the ocean and I'm freaked out. My family and i went to fly kites at the beach over Easter and i was horrified cause the waves were so big (I've been scared ever since that huge tsunami) I had to be reassured the whole time.lol

Yes.  Any coastline has a chance of getting hit with a tsunami because the waves are created by underwater displacement and can be propagated around the world.

I think it depends on what's near it to be destroyed, and whether it starts one or more tsunamis and how big they are & where they hit. A bigger quake certainly has greater potential for destruction.

I notice the Tropical Prediction Center issued a hurricane warning for part of Florida, though it is not quite a hurricane yet. That is standard procedure if it is expected to become a hurricane, but for tornadoes one must exist before the warning is issued.\n\nAlberto is not particularly impressive on satellite or radar images. There is nothing on the SW side because of wind shear. Yet with recon flights and winds from doppler radar, scatterometers, and microwave sounders - if there is a 65 knot wind somewhere in the storm they'll find it. So a category 1 hurricane aint what it used to be.\n\nThere will be heavy rain and severe storms associated with it. There will be very strong winds - probably hurricane force at some locations - directly along the coast S-E of the storm center. Yet there is no chance it will become anything more than a weak hurricane in a wind shear environment over oceans not particularly warm this time of year.\n\nThus people affected should definitely be prepared, but if it is hyped too much people are being setup for a strong storm some time later which they won't want to evacuate for but should.

Los Angeles and San Francisco would be the big ones but there are a lot of smaller ones in the same danger area. Basically anything that is on or near the San Andreas Fault. Check the map at the link--- actually explore the rest of the site, too--- good info there!

All waves are tidal waves. I think you're asking about tsunamis, and those can happen anywhere on a coast, but are probably not likely in Connecticut.

The last years Tsunami was cause by the 2 plates breaking underneath the Phi Phi islands @ 8 15am. It caused the ground to rise up to 40 feet for 750 miles, which cause an earthquake of 9.5 on the scale. They are predicting that the next country to be hit with a Tsunami is Samaliya. And US is next... Oregon, Washington and all NW states, BEWARE. \nAMERICA'S TSUNAMI, ARE WE NEXT? When they cannot predict, however, they say it might be in the next 1000 years or it might happen tommorow.\nThe funny thing is that they said the break in the plates occured in the Indian ocean. They first checked for landslides, found none, no proof that any has occured in the last 10 years.

humans are part of nature, so i'm worried most about some human pushing the BIG button..... a tsunami will wipe out some people, but atomic weapons detonating all over the planet would end us all.

its tsunami, and there would not be a western european tsunami, but i would guess that cork, in irealnd would be hit first, but the netherlans would sink because it is below sea level. i would then saw rotterdam, amsterdam, or the hauge then.

Can, do and will get worse.\n\nFrom  Nunatsiaq News:\n\n"In the last century, three of the 10 largest earthquakes in the world have occurred in Alaska, and these produced deadly tsunamis. In 1958, a landslide caused by an earthquake sent a tsunami 524 metres high into Lihuya Bay, killing several fishermen and stripping the fiord of vegetation.\n\nThe presence of sea ice has lessened or "dampened" the impacts of most tsunamis in the Arctic Ocean. That's why Alan W. Harris, a senior research scientist at the Space Science Institute in California, maintains there's little possibility of a killer wave doing much damage in the Arctic and "only polar bears need worry about whether the ice damps the tsunami wave from an Arctic impact."\n\nBut in the future, with increased calving of glaciers and ice shelves, where massive hunks of ice break off and crash down into the water, there could be more Arctic tsunami-type waves, and, with less sea ice, these could have a larger, visible impact."
