let a tsunami hits.

To me, those areas are always danger zones.

Of course there is more of a risk from flooding the closer you get to the water.

There could be an earthquake too, which could potentially make any area a danger zone.

good point.

Forget the high taxes, congestion, and overpriced housing...I need to get the hell out of here before we get another tsunami!

I remember the last one and boy was it terrible. Oh wait...

Yeah, a tsunami on LI would only impact the water FRONT houses.

Why exactly does this thread exist?

i doubt where i live in elmont would be affected that much.

How often do you see people use "waterfront property" as a sales pitch?

A thin flat island sitting parallel to the ocean vs. a towering onslaught of giant waves... yeah, that's logical. Elmont wouldn't even notice.
