10K isnt much-thats only 6 miles, OK people near the coast had better watch out, people further inland would be safe, the only exception to this is somewhere like Somerset, but then "the levels" are BELOW sea level.
Not 10K BP!!!
10K miles!!!
As in 10,000 x 5,280ft
10,000 x 1760 yards
ten thousand times one mile!
The distance from Chilie to Japan!
As far as your Canery Island senerio goes, that particular show on the Discovery Channel (megatsunamis) is an old one and I believe I remember them saying the surge would reach 30 miles inland!
Makes me glad I am 1200 miles inland and sitting at 1000ft elevation. All I need worry about are tornadoes and earthquakes.
