On the twelfth day of the apocalypse
My true love said to me:
Oh look...
A Twelve Decameter High Storm Surge
Eleven Massive Hurricaines
Ten Plagues of Egypt
Nine Asteroids
Eight Supernovae
Seven Continents Cracking
Six Hour Long Earthquake
Fiiiiiiiive Alieeeeeeens!!!!
Four Dinosaurs
Three Hitlers
Two Poles that Shift
And it seems I've become a zombie.
What:
Do you know how big a decameter is? It's 10 meters. It's also 32.81 feet, according to Yahoo Answers, which is WAY more convenient than actually using the distance conversion feature on my phone. You know... I'd have to type in my phone's password and all, and [whiny voice] I just can't. It's too hard. [/whiny voice]
Anyway, as I was saying, a decameter is pretty big... especially when it's the height of a storm surge. The highest storm surge on record, according to Wikipedia (the be-all, end-all of knowledge, as we well know) was 43 feet.
Psh. Please. We can do better than that.
Especially after yesterday.
If we're going to have 11 superstorms, we'd better get a 12 decameter high storm surge somewhere. That's 393.72 feet. Pretty sure it would take out most of the Eastern Seaboard.
How:
Superstorms. They make storm surges.
Don't believe me?
Go watch any superstorm movie ever made. There's sure to be a storm surge somewhere.
How to Survive:
Y'all are hidin' in caves, aren't you? Well, maybe that was a bad idea... but only if your cave is less than 393.72 feet above sea level... and close to the sea. So, when you're picking out your cave for yesterday, go inland a bit, kay?
BELOW sea level? Did you mean above?
ReplyDeleteIt would be awesome to watch something like that... in a movie. What was the name of that movie where the ocean washed inland to the hills of West Virginia or thereabouts? Remember, and the kid is riding a motorcycle trying to get up to the mountains ahead of the tidal wave? Deep Impact! That was it. :o)
Nice catch. Thanks! All fixed. :)
ReplyDeleteI've never actually seen that movie. Maybe we should include it in the apocalypse weekend. :)
