I caught the show and concluded it was more plausible than the Tsunami
crossing the Atlantic from the Cape Verde islands and wetting down the corn
fields in Ohio.

I think there's a lot of people with too much time and grant money on their
hands. Clearly, anomalies like "the perfect storm" happen along with the
asteroid, earthquake and volcano movies, but the issue is how much time,
technology, people, and capital should we spent trying to mitigate risks
that are possible, but not probable.

If I were NYC, I'd spend some money figuring out how to keep the every day
lights on in the Bronx first. Sorry, just a "curmudgeon's perspective"...
