Tsunami: These waves are long and can be completely unnoticeable in deep water, often triggered by "an impulsive disturbance that vertically displaces the water column," according to the Geophysics Department at the University of Washington where this picture came from. One wave can be up to 100 km long and stay only 15 inches high until it approaches shallow waters. The tsunami that devastated Hilo, one of the Hawaiian Islands, in 1946 for example, went unnoticed by the fishermen whose homes it took while they were out at sea. Ho ho ho.... I smell one approaching Manhattan! DAK
