5000 years ago, a comet broke apart into three pieces upon entry into Earth. The largest piece, smashed into the indian ocean, with the other two smaller pieces landing in different areas of the Pacific Ocean. The Indian Ocean impact, was incredibly disastrous. It landed in a very deep part of the ocean, and, as a result, it released a truly monstrous mega tsunami during impact. This tsunami was so disastrous, that 600 foot high mountains were built in Madagascar in the blink of an eye, when massive amount of churned up sediment that was carried by it, got deposited in truly vast quantities here, and everywhere else that this tsunami stuck, too, including very, very far places, such as Tasmania.

That's one reason we moved 150 km inland from the coast. We are only 160 meters ASL, but being so far inland over 2 mountains should be far enough.
Those close will have an excellent view of the tsunami as it rolls over them.
Mistakes are only mistakes if you don't learn from them.

I read that as 'Arbuckle' and started wondering what Garfield had to do with anything... Clearly I need more coffee 🤣.
Actually not that long ago my father in law told me about how they were able to tell that there was a huge tsunami in the area via geology surveys. He mentioned that you could tell the size of the tsunami by the deltas that were formed from different types of soil hitting land outcroppings. Gave me a really good idea of just how badly things can go wrong, those deltas go further inland than we could move at short notice!

If you go back through Joe Rogan's podcasts, he interviewed Graham Hancock &/or Randall Carlson. In one of those interviews either the individual ones or when they were together, they showed satellite images that showed evidence of tsunamis in WA.
