Megatsunamis: World's Biggest Wave

Megatsunamis are not only much larger than your average tsunami, they also form under different conditions. Good news: they’re extremely rare. Bad news: they might not be for long.

Considering smaller tsunamis are capable of shredding apart submarines with their underwater current, I can only imagine what one of these monsters could do.

Ummmmmm???? I've seen footage of the Greenland TSUNAMI. I DEFINITLY DID NOT see a wave the size of the statue of liberty hit the town's close by. In FACT, the multiple footage from various villages wasn't even 3 meters high if even 2! Little exaggerated there, bud… You give real mega tsunamis a bad name!😡👎

Climate change. Why is it everywhere…

Yosef Robinson says:

Let's just say that the permafrost isn't melting at any faster a rate than it did during past warm periods, such as the Medieval one 1000 years ago and the Roman one 2000 years ago, in which (in at least some cases) temperatures were even warmer than today. I greatly enjoyed the video until man-made "climate change" was injected into it in the last minute of the video.

What if a comet hits a mass of water as shown here, like in deep impact? Would the wave be considered a megatsunami like these? Or would it be considered something else?

TIDAL WAVES SOON TO HIT THE EAST COAST!
August 5, 2020
“Ashley, said I not to make haste to prepare for My Arrival? Why dost thou tarry? Arise and prepare for departure!”
“How should I prepare, Lord?”
“Run to him that sinneth, and say, ‘Sin no more’, lest blood be on thy hands. For I am a gracious God and repent of the evil I said I would do to a person, if they repent from their ways and turn to Me with all their hearts, with fasting and with weeping and with mourning. I live, and say to the sea, ‘Go no further, and let thy proud waves be stayed.’ It is in My Hand to save from destruction. But they say, ‘The End is a long way off. Let’s party while we can.’ Therefore will sudden calamity come upon them like a woman in labor, and there shall be none to hear their cries for help. Because they would not listen to the cry of the watchman, who cried unto them and warned them for My Sake. Therefore will I not listen to their cries for help in the day that I do this, saith the Lord. I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA, THE BEGINNING AND THE END, GOD, YOUR SAVIOR, ELOHIM. Write what thou seest, and quickly bind it in a book and send to them of the nations, upon whom My Name is called. For yet a little while and He that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Peace be with thy spirit.”

PREPARE FOR LIFTOFF!
July 24, 2020
I saw Jesus standing in my house, with two angels by His side. I came to Him and said, “Lord, I’m not worthy, but You are worthy.”
He said, “Are you ready to go?”
“Yes, Lord, I’m ready!”
He said, “Prepare for liftoff.”
“Today Lord?”
“Said I not to make haste to prepare for My Arrival?”
“Lord, I’m not concerned for myself. I’m just concerned for all the souls who aren’t ready to meet You. What about them?”
“Just as I said to you, Beloved, he that is righteous, let him be righteous, and he that is holy, let him be holy. But the unbelievers and the profane shall have their portion in the Lake of Fire, which is the second death.”
“Lord, what can I do? Please use me.”
“Prepare for liftoff, Beloved. Dost thou have last words for thy unsaved family members?”
“Yes, Lord. I pray for them, that after we are lifted off they may remain faithful until death, and will not receive the mark of the Beast, which is the ID chip/ tattoo, or vaccine tied to the coronovirus.”
“I have heard thy prayer and have seen thy tears, My daughter. They that are with Me are called and chosen and faithful. Let him who hath ears to hear, hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”

You and this "climate change" farce. Yes, the climate is changing, it has ever been thus. But this fabricated hype going around today is perpetuated by the same "scientists" that swore we were all going to freeze to death a few decades ago. So, tell you stories and leave the fairy tales for the kiddies.
