      An East Coast Tsunami - B. A. Mihalchick

      Chapter 1

      A TSUNAMI FROM WHERE?

      S enior Professor Dr. Roger Smith, PHD, of the US Seismic Institute, was located in the Washington, DC office. The Institute monitored volcanoes and earthquakes, in the United States and offshore, on a daily and hourly basis, including volcanoes like the Yellowstone Caldera and Mount Rainer.

      The Institute had three offices, Washington DC (Eastern Region), Portland, Oregon (Western Region), and Kansas City, Kansas (Central Region).

      The Professor, as he was known by, saw the next potential volcanic threat was from the Canary Islands, off the coast of Africa. The volcano of LaPaloma had been seeing mini eruptions, since 2017.

      The lava cone had been building up, inside the volcano, a sign of a potential eruption.

      If LaPaloma ever erupted fully, the East Coast from North Carolina up to the New England area, could experience a tsunami.

      The Outer Barrier Islands, at only one foot, above sea level, off the coast of North Carolina, would be wiped out.

      How high of a wave, he didn’t know. It could be two feet or 12 feet tall. A nuisance event to a life threatening one. A lot of water to wade through to a catastrophic event.

      A one-story building is about 10 feet tall. A tsunami builds up height, as it travels, on the ocean bed floor, spreading itself out. It could be calm on the ocean’s surface.

      The 2011 tsunami, in Japan, occurred at 2:45 pm and took six minutes to go across the land, at 520 mph, killing 20,000 people. 2,500 people were never found, probably sucked out to sea. A wave of 8 feet high, moved inland six miles. It destroyed over 45,000 buildings including a power plant.

      The tsunami was created, by an earthquake 80 miles away, on the seabed floor. Two plates, on the ocean floor, had slipped. The Pacific plate had slipped under the Eurasian plate, causing the earthquake. A volcano would act the same way. It could release a tsunami, an ocean floor wave of water, hidden from view.

      Sea walls, built by the Japanese government, did not help. The tsunami waters, just pushed them aside, out of the way. They were positioned incorrectly.

      The earthquake had been felt, as far as Beijing, China, and the Aleutian Islands, off Alaska.

      The Japanese coastal town of Tokoku, was destroyed, without warning. One-minute life was good, the next, all hell broke out. Run for your life but the tsunami was too fast for people, on foot. It even encompassed moving cars, trying to escape.

      Chapter 2

      CONGRESS

      T he Professor was to give, a presentation, to the full US Congress, asking for funding, to place tsunami wave reporting buoys, to be spread out across, the Atlantic Ocean floor. They needed 62 million dollars, in funding. The project would allow for tsunami monitoring by buoy, an accurate method, to track a tsunami,
