I'm wondering if this simulation takes into consideration the New York Bight, which is basically an undersea canyon formed by the Hudson when sea levels were much lower. It played a factor during hurricane Sandy where water had no place to escape and was funneled up the bight and flooded downtown Manhattan.
I'd be curious to see the predictions for other metropolitan areas. Obviously such a large landslide would generate a tsunami throughout the Atlantic. I understand that the most densely populated areas of NYC are relatively safe from a tsunami because the width of the wave crest is relatively narrow and there is not enough time for water to bunch up within the Hudson before the wave retreats again, due to the buffering effect of Long Island and Staten Island.(A storm surge would allow more time for the water to move upstream, as happened with Hurricane Sandy.) But what about other cities on the Atlantic coast? Have you run simulations for places like Belem and Sao Luis in Brazil? Would everything south of Cape Recife be safe? Would Delaware Bay act as a funnel, amplifying the height of the bore in places like Wilmington? Presumably Washington DC is far enough upriver on the Potomac to be relatively safe, but Baltimore might be more vulnerable than its "inland" position would suggest. The suburban areas of Norfolk and Virginia Beach look particularly exposed, as does the greater Charleston SC metro. Would the Miami area be substantially shielded behind the Bahamas? The suburbs of Daytona on the seaward side of the Halifax River look like they'd basically be wiped off the map. Or you could, you know, just make your modelling software available commercially....
I would like to know what happens with Argentina and Uruguay. No model makes any reference to those areas. Or what happens with south-west Africa, or the Congo Basin, or South Africa. Or if it can reach Italy through the Mediterranean. Or if it can produce mini-waves on the Pacific through the tsunami crossing the Panama Canal. Or if it can reach Antarctica and the other South Atlantid Islands.
I'm curious, could this be prevented by building a gentle slope from the bottom of the ocean up to the face of the rock? If so, how much soil would you need and how much would it cost?
Why do you have the tsunami coming in from the southeast? Earth is a sphere; via a great circle route, a tsunami beginning in La Palma would come in from the east-northeast. The direction of the tsunami would be almost exactly parallel to the coast of Long Island, which I suspect would make a difference in how the area would suffer. There's a reason the tsunami of March 2011 hit the California coast sharply from the northwest, despite the epicentre being due west.
You are absolutely correct. The hairs on my arm are standing. I have seen it in my dreams many times, most recently three months ago.. In the dream, I’m standing in my living room where I have a view of the LI sound to my left ( In waking life). The tsunami wave in the dream was approaching from my left, which is Southeast, but Northeast from Long Island. That was my third tsunami dream in the past 20 years. From that direction, much of Queens, the Bronx, lower Westchester Co and parts of Connecticut will be swallowed.
All of my simulations are run on a Mac laptop. Digital elevation maps (DEMs) are found in a variety of places and spacings. Global topography and bathymetry exist at about 1 km spacing (ETOPO1). Nearly global (land) topography can be found at 90 m spacing (SRTM). For certain locations DEMs can be found at spacing of 30 m, 10 m and even less. Pretty much you just have to search around the internet.
@@chanio1179 More Ram just means the simulation processes faster, pretty much every simulation or render requires long periods of time to process, from days to weeks. If hes running this on a mac he probably has to wait a while, especially since it was 7 years ago. Just realized your comment is years old, sorry
So is that 15km inland from the barrier islands or the bay? I know the difference isnt too significant (unless you live in an area where it could be life or death.... i do )
Hi, could you run a simulation of the impact of the mega-tsunami from La Palma in Recife, a city in the northeast of Brazil with around 4 million people in its metro area, and made in very very low terrain, most taken from the rivers and sea. Recife was founded by the Dutch when they occupied the region in the XVII century “imitating” their own low lands. The curiosity is that Recife has the first synagogue in the Americas and the jews explelled together with the Dutch migrated to North America and helped to found New Amsterdam/New York.
I wish they had mentioned how long it would take for the Tsunami to travel from La Palma to the NY coast... Would we have a warning? Would we have enough time to leave the area?
About 7 hours. As long as it is not high enough to cover all of long island then people would not need to evacuate long island (which would be impossible in that timeframe), people on the south would just have to move a little to the north (which would take much less time), 7 hours should be enough time for most people to evacuate to the north in that scenario, even if the roads were congested it doesn't take that long to ride a bike or even walk a few miles north.
@@pauldavis5665 this simulation puzzlingly does not factor the north shore impact at all, which would be about the same as it's south shore, if not more from reflections off Connecticut. Anyone surviving on Long Island would likely be cut off & marooned from the mainland for quite a while.
Actually, that’s wrong. According to nasa, the mega tsunami will be about 4 times the power your talking about! So ya. Wait... I live In New Jersey...... Can I go to Mexico plz

That's the Garden State Parkway. The Turnpike is more west of that region.
Came to say this. It's still quite a ways inland though especially as you go north.

I'd also like to see what would happen to the Coastal areas of other places, like canada: eg Nova scotia, New brunswick, etc.

Being on Long Island means I’m stuck here there’s really not time to escape with 8 million people on this island
I would head up to Bald Hill in Farmingville if I couldn't get off Long Island. Its one of the highest points and it's north of 495
Looks like Nova Scotia will take the first direct beating from that wave. I saw 35m? Wow that's not good

Do you have this tsunami for Boston harbor and Massachusetts Bay?

I live in the North Side of Long Island
Brooklyn is in trouble.
How about the same scenario for Florida?
The tsunami always wins
Ben Quinney tru
that's the garden state parkway, not the turnpike lol
Such a wave would undoubtly destroy the barrier islands permanently. They are made mostly of sand.
The road you reference is the Garden State Parkway. The Turnpike is further West
What sort of computing power do you require to run these simulations?
Where do you find the raw data for elevations?
All of my simulations are run on a Mac laptop.
Digital elevation maps (DEMs) are found in a variety of places and spacings.
Global topography and bathymetry exist at about 1 km spacing (ETOPO1).

+ingomar200 What program are you using for your simulations?
ingomar200 umm. ur ram. seems will be high
So what happens to bermuda

so, if i go there with a team and set up enough dynamite could i trigger this collapse?
nuke will do the magic. Just bury it about 500m below the ground at the side of that island
So is that 15km inland from the barrier islands or the bay? I know the difference isnt too significant (unless you live in an area where it could be life or death.... i do )
Would the tsunami reach Jayne’s Hill Long Island?
Doesn't save it that much. Manhattan still gets inundated up to at least what looks like Washington Square Park

Look at 01:20 at top left corner. It says it would roughly take 7 hours from La Palma to NYC :)
Tsunamis usually travel 400-500 mph, the same as a passenger airliner.
Yeah but everyone would be trying to get out at the same time, there’d be insane congestion
About 7 hours.

What about in the Bronx? especially the northern central areas, are they safe from the Tsunami?
Is Baltimore near the ocean ??
Sugar land is safe right
This is 20 m simulation, but La Palma's wave could be as high as 90 meters when it hits these shores.
The simulations show they will be 20m high when they hit those shores, I suppose you got 90m from some documentary?
The waves in New York City will be 11 times shorter in height than the waves in La Palma.
What app???
Thank God the mega tsunami didn't reach Manhattan
Hurry up and cleanse the East Coast! The Juan de Fuca plate next!
can you do one for the state of Florida next?
No, florida sucks
Well most of Florida is like 3 feet above sea level so you can kinda guess what happens in a tsunami 👀
We may soon see
This video is from 9 years ago...is this a sign?...
well yes now
Actually, that’s wrong. According to nasa, the mega tsunami will be about 4 times the power your talking about! So ya.
Wait... I live In New Jersey......
Can I go to Mexico plz
Only L.I.E would be struck a little
I die
I live in Sandy Hook, NJ. I'd drown.
Teide volcano on Teneriffe would also be as hazardous.
sounds great
Thank god Washington Heights will not be flooded.
It will be, with people!
Cricky..!
Been disproved.
Proof?
I feel like this is gonna be a lot more devastating than you think. Think water going over the Appalachians.
The tsunami WILL go into Long Island Sound and hit CT too! So, you're lil 'animation' is incomplete!
It could happen. And in the Pacific Hawaii's big island could do the same thing. 1000 feet high tsunami.
A SECOND WAVE JUST HIT THE PENTAGON
Good let hit the pentagram.
I saw sandy hook on the map
Because that's its name. I was born and raised in Staten Island. It has nothing to do with the school shooting in Connecticut.
It is too bad Manhattan is not hit worse. Let's hope you are wrong. At least Wall Street will be washed away.
Buh-bye Biden voters!
This would also affect the Red States as well
