[meteorite-list] Giant tsunami swept through New York City 2, 000 years ago

Hi Paul:

We actually talked about this at "asteroid lunch" yesterday! The case
against a tsunami is that there is no other evidence anywhere along the US
coast or on the other side of the Atlantic. Skeptics think that it could
just as easily been a huge hurricane storm surge. Do not know much more
than that.
