If it happens, Yanks from the mid-west can always temporarily relocate to northern Mexico. Oh, hang on ...

What?
You just remembered the wall at the end of the sentence.

Glad it's not just me with a dirty mind.

Seriously this is a bit worrying. Chances may be very low but ain't impossible.

It's certain, but we never know when.

This looks like something out of a biology textbook

The BBC made a documentary on exactly this a few years ago:

BBC Two - The tsunami starts its destructive journey - Could We Survive a Mega-Tsunami? - The path of an Atlantic tsunami

IIRC, the conclusion was we'll be a bit ****ed.

Past experience 410 years ago confirms the fact BBC Two - Timewatch, 2004-2005, The Killer Wave of 1607 at least if you live near the Bristol Channel....

I've alway wondered what would happen if you nuked Yellowstone or the fault line through one of the Canaries to start a mega tsunami?

When I lived in a North West city that's who the local drug dealer was - just make sure your ice creams are market price otherwise the police will cotton on quickly.

Reminds me of a Chinese my friend used to use.

A 27 special got you the standard 27 Chinese meal and an eighth of Skunk.

A 27 Special was actually £28 if I remember correctly

Pratchett/Baxter's "Long Earth" series featured this kind of devastating event as a major plot point. More reason to support the colonisation of Mars?

Planets are a dead end. Colonise the asteroids.

I've just bought an Ice Cream van. Planning to drive it around East London and sell drugs.

That's if you can find a decent pitch that isn't already taken by the MI5 and Special Branch ice cream vans!

Not after Trump builds the new Atlantic-Pacific link. Along the Mexican border.

[MarillionFan]

Then you can use the profits to invest in sledges.

If it happens, having Trump in a position of serious power(at the moment his wings can be clipped) is quite scary.
