Tsunami is a tidal wave. That's why it gets into the land in the first place. It's a mass of water pushed like with a hurricane. It is not just a single wave, or a few waves. Even if it is relatively small, it will flood.

Web shows a 4 + earthquake in Yellowstone

is there anyway that the earthquakes can be connected? Seems alot of 4+ all round the world this week.

Ko3, that is one of the strangest Google Earth images I've ever seen!!

For those who haven't seen it, here it is on Google Maps:
Ocean anomaly

The center of the anomaly is 1/3 mile off shore. The large ripples are probably the sea floor, not the ocean surface. But the smaller ripples emanating out from the anomaly are clearly on the ocean surface and seem to extend east at least 2 miles. Small swells only travel about 3 miles an hour, so this anomaly had been generating waves for about 40 minutes.

Perhaps it's a very low island off shore? It couldn't be due to an earthquake because that would mean it was rumbling for 40 minutes - which is unheard of. Also, it wouldn't create waves that small.

Good catch!

a future 'blue hole' perhaps? It may be a little close to shore but there are straws to be grasped at and I'm doing my best. Here's a picture of Belize's famous blue hole:

That could be hydrogen gas that found a crack to seep up from, if you look closer you can see bubble signatures.that would be my Guess.

out of curiosity, how many people on here feel stupid for mocking the Web Bot crew? No mass casualties but they nailed the earthquake dates yet again, the deadline expired tomorrow.

This is what the map looks like now:

They got hit pretty bad, imo. So many quakes, and two magnitude +7.5 within a few hours!

When I posted my previous map, it said 27 quakes. It's now 28 quakes. And the two biggest ones are listed as 7.6 and 7.3.

Thank you very much for that update list of quakes. WOW... there is so much going on around there.

give us a link please

I'm no geologist, but is it a common thing to have this many quakes around the world in any given day?

I guess no... BTW, there are 32 quakes listed now.

LOLOL webbot didnt predict this at all!

there was no devastation... few casualties... this doesnt fit there prediction 1 bit!

The webbot prediction said two quakes in different areas and listed coordinates that dont match what happened.

also they said it would change the world...


Webbot fanboys go home!

I wonder what all of these < 5.0 quakes mean? I thought after a big quake the aftershocks get less powerful, but again they keep staying around 5.0 mag. Think another really big one may happen?...or is that normal for that region?

two more since last post both over 5

and this one to the west of the others
