Glad you liked it, you got the popular score. Thank you. Now you know more about these.
I got 4/10. I figured it was possible to surf a tsunami. Just once but still possible.
Hi Gary, you might be able to surf a mega-tsunami, but they are very rare. The last one hit Alaska in 1958 and had a run up height of 1720 feet tall.. Mega Tsunamis have a large wave, but tsunamis do not have a face. Meaning you couldn’t surf one.
4/10
Four could be better, but 4 is the most common result so far. Thank you for participating.

5/10 “Not so bad” Actually it’s pretty bad! 🙂 Thanks for blowing several of my preconceptions out of the water 😉
I had them as well Norman, that’s the main reason I am doing these “disaster” type quizzes. A lot of myths out there that I thought were true as well.
