Alabama
- Current Level
These
maps will show how sea level rise at various levels would affect the state
of Alabama. Tsunamis also occur in the Gulf of Mexico. In 1991, an earthquake
in Costa Rica caused a 6 foot tsunami to wash inland though the Caribbean.
A collapse of the Cumbra Vieja in the Canary Islands would also impact
the Gulf. And there is always the possibility of localized landslides
or underwater activity such as underwater volcanoes that could create
large waves. The chances are much greater for flooding from storm surges
caused by hurricanes but the chance is there.
