| So - another question to think about:
where would the best (least damaging) and worst (most damaging) place be for this thing to hit - if it does?
I would guess South Africa or South America would be "best", in so far as it is quite a long way from the really heavily dense places such as south-east asia.
But, wherever I think of, there is either a heavily populated area in close land proximity, or there is a huge amount of water nearby to create tidal waves that could travel to such places. So, for example, the middle of the Australian outback would not be good (for thew Australian's for a start!) but also it would drown much of the Asian coast, tens or even hundreds of miles inland.
In fact, is there anywhere that won't lead to a literal decimation of the human population, or worse? |
