"The researchers might be deluded by Mother Nature, whose principal object in life is to make fools of scientists."
-- Lawrence Crum, Applied Physics Lab, University of Washington

tsunami
Mostly buried now, or worn away to dust, there once were many scars on Mother Earth. Deep underground in Yucatan or North-West Cape they can be found. The worst was long ago when helpless inner planets shook to the Late Bombardment's hail of rock and ice. Was that the end of fire from space? Oh no! only the intervals grew longer but still they came and if they landed in blue ocean, even far from land. they left their mark on cliff and strand as waves from hell hurled rocks and sand far up on shore. Human settlements and cities cluster on the edge of continents. One day there'll be scant warning as ocean's fist smites unwary ports and towns. A tiny speck of cosmic dust will stir the waters and leave as wreckage our ephemeral works and homes.
