What do you do? You've got 8 hours to save - - -?

Question

A volcano in Spain has erupted. Half of it's volume has fallen into the Atlantic ocean creating a wave that is 200 feet high heading for the east coast of The Americas? The Wave will strike in 8 hours. What's important? What do you save? Do you just sit quietly and wait for the end?

Answer 1

Have to think about that

Answer 2

i sit because i dont live on any of the coastal states

Answer 3

no id meet all my friends and family

Answer 4

Well that was random. o_O

Hm. My house is on the coast of Massachusetts so if I stayed I'd pretty much be the first to die. Not good.

There would probably be rescue aircrafts coming to towns and such bringing people to safer places. I'd probably jump onto one of those. Buuut since there are only so many aircrafts and so many people, I'd get onto a train and pray that it'd make it to Canada in time. ^__^ I'd bring my dog, a book, and all my money. Oh and my laptop. I'd be set then.

Awesome question by the way. Leaves a sort of eerie feeling though. Buut I shall have to star it. *Stars* Whoo.

Answer 5

I'd get my family & my cat, along with all my photos & CD (data) & get as far west as I could.

Answer 6

I would certainly be rooting for the people on the east coast to head west a little bit. Probably try to save the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

A 200 foot wave would not be the end as you put it. It would be terrible, and many people would doubtless die, but I doubt it would be horrible. Trouble in the US would be limited to the Southern portion. New York would be too far north to be effected, I would think. Miami would get slammed. But we are Americans. We recover from things like this. We would rebuild, better than ever.

Answer 7

EVACUATE! i'd save lives obviously, the senator would have to order some quick flyin jets! and if he didn't i'd do it for him.

Answer 8

A 200 foot wave would not destroy the Earth. If I lived in NY and given enough warning? I would get in my car with my wife and dog and drive far enough away to be safe. If I had no time, I would walk into any solid building and wait it out.

Answer 9

after seeing the east coast it would be no great lost but iowa would know what beach life is like

Answer 10

Grab my surfboard and head for that wave...YEEEHAAAA.

Answer 11

I would alert the people who live in the Americas.

You need to realise that there people in the world who do not live in the Americas, like me. Yeah! It is fasinating for you to realise that the majoirty of the world does not live in the Americas.
