70 Foot High Tsunami Waves.

Let me first start by saying that I am TERRIFIED of tsunamis and tidal waves. I have had nightmares about tall waves for over a decade, so just thinking about them really frightens me.

The asteroid 2005 YU55 is supposed to pass right by the Earth on Tuesday. Astronomers are saying that it definitely will not hit our planet, but if it did, it would create 70 FOOT TALL TSUNAMI WAVES! That is how big this asteroid is, big enough to seriously mess a lot of stuff up.

"Right now there is an asteroid in space that will be the closest between earth and the moon that it has ever been in 35 years on Tuesday! But will it actually hit? NASA’s Near Earth Object Program said that they are 100 percent sure that it will not hit. They said it is not a threat but an opportunity.

The asteroid's name is 2005 YU55. It is being watched by ground antennas as it approaches from the direction of the sun. The last time it came from what is called shouting distance was about 200 years ago! The closest approach will be around 6:30 am on Tuesday.

Nothing this large has ventured so close since 1976 and nothing this large will ever come again until the year 2028. Scientists have been watching this asteroid since 2005 and are certain that it will not bring any harm to earth or the moon. However, if it were to hit, major earth quakes and seventy foot high tsunami waves would occur. Radar observations from California and Puerto Rico will help the scientists determine if the asteroid has craters or water pockets, and maybe even frozen water.

This asteroid is not the type that NASA would want to come at with astronauts because if it has watering holes, it could be useful for the future.

This is not just a whirling rock like most steroids, this is one is a type c asteroid. Is carbon based which makes it unique from most others. For an actual asteroid to strike that is this large, well, it probably won’t happen for another 100,000 years or so."

Can you imagine what a 70 foot tall wall of water would look like? How about what it would feel like?



Also, how far inland would a 70 foot tall wave travel? Think about the locations of most of the major cities in the world. Most of them are very close to the coasts.




Those are the most populated cities.

Threats from outer space, like this asteroid, are really scary. The Earth is a very vulnerable planet, and it wouldn't take that much to make it inhabitable.

erm... a day late?? This happened yesterday.

YU55 safely passed us by yesterday.


Here's a LINK with a little info about it.

Yeah, you must have slept through the whole thing. You didn't miss much.

I think there are too many factors involved to predict how far inland it would reach, although ive wondered the same thing. If i saw a 70 foot beer i would hope id have a wave in my hand, thats all i know.

If I saw a 70 foot beer, id hope to have a really long straw in my hand.

Although YU-55 already passed safely, two more heading our way in 2028 and another in 2029. These two will be alot closer than the YU-55.

The fact remains, you don't need an asteriod to impact Earth to create a 70 foot tsunami.

Here's the largest tsunami on record and it was 1720 feet :

geology.com...

In Sumatra, Indonesia....their's was approx 100 feet.

1720 feet above sea level, correct me if I am wrong

Why be afraid of a 70 foot wave? You could just grab a surf board and have a blast. I use your video source as proof of this.

And, wow, that website is a bit slow on the uptake, no? I wouldn't read that site anymore.

1720 foot wave....lol

You would need one hell of a surfboard....

I thought that it meant next Tuesday....erm...

Epic Fail!!

Thats ok, it happens to everyone sooner or later. Just glad you were able to admit to the fail. So many people on here can't.

woo ahhhhhhhhh a sigh of relief .... lmfao

and guess what we re all still here alive and well and going about our business....

to the OP id suggest that you look further into things before making a thread about them ...
as to your vid are you sure there is not a 6000 foot prehistoric shark in that wave?

I would like to throw my 2-cents into this statement because I find it very interesting to read.

You see, I too am terrified of huge waves. Now I know that's probably just human instincts but I take it to another level where I actually fear death.

I love the beach and go into the ocean (I live on the southeast coast of Florida!!!) but there is something, like you said, 'terrifying' about the thought of being swallowed up by a gigantic wave. The thought of scuba diving brings chills to my spine just thinking about that too.

Now what's interesting is, some so-called 'channelers' have stated (and I wasn't even looking for an explanation....) that those of us who have this tremendous off-the-wall fear of waves are most likely reincarnated Atlanteans who perished in an unprecedented flood which sank their continent.

You know what?.....as much as I don't know what's on the other side---- this makes a LOT of sense. Because for all my life, I've been strangely interested in UFOlogy along with being scare to death about being under-water and huge waves.

So for whatever that's worth?...I thought I'd share!

People who are afraid of huge waves are not Atlanteans. They are normal human beings. Anyone who is not afraid of huge waves is either stupid or ignorant.

Are big wave riders stupid or ignorant? No, they are probably a little bit crazy but very brave. Bravery is not a lack of fear, it is the ability to overcome fear. Skill and training give them the ability to do so.

Oh...that is not a tsunami in the video in the OP and the rock passed us.

I had a lot of nightmares about huge waves through out my life. Every dream I had about going to the beach ended with a huge wave. I would be so scared if I saw a huge wave coming. Tsunamis look like more like a bad flood then a big wave.

Wow Phage. You never cease to amaze me!

It's bad enough you feel you know everything about everything on Earth but how in the WORLD would you know about reincarnation?
No one knows for certain.

I am just throwing it out there as something to ponder. My fear is (I believe) deeper than the 'normal' fear of high waves. I get an overwhelming sense of death.

But.....did I once anywhere state this to be a fact? No! Yet you take an arrogant stance and say what I 'feel' isn't true. Being a human (as you so aptly remind us) doesn't negate possibly being something/some one else in a previous life. It's not all or nothing.

OP, Nothing for nothin'.....was just reading something and saw this photo. THIS is exactly what constantly terrifies me. Over and over again. This is the scenario I might've once lived through (according to several channelers) or....maybe, just maybe....I am having a premonition of my demise.

Uh... was that Kelly Slater in that video or something ? That wasn't real right ?
