But Denmark is giving them money.
Yes, we give them some money (633 M USD in 2020, not counting indirect subsidies)

I would like to think insurance would help but I'm no expert.
ytterbium
Most insurances and contracts I've seen have point about natural disasters being exception. If you ever get loan ask what happens when war.
OTOH don't ask if you wan't to get the loan :D. But it does make the discussion entertaining if they're just trying to push it down on you.

The waters had just before receded. ( boat on the rocks) that’s when you know to get the f*ck out of three!
They did, this was a much larger second wave, you can hear how winded he is.

pretty sure those boats were pushed above the water line by an earlier wave, and they thought it was over.

There is some lake around here where a community completely disappeared suddenly. They now think something large broke off a nearby >
mountain and fell into the lake, causing a tsunami and wiping out the area surrounding the lake. Spooks me a bit.

Increased in altitude by 15 ft or something like that?

If you get hit by a tsunami in Illinois, I would be pretty scared too.

The day a tsunami hits you, you don't need to worry about it.
joot
You joke, but in Missouri, we had a reservoir break and dump a billion gallons into Taum Sauk. Fluvial tsunamis & dam breaks are a thing.
Those aren't actually tsunamis, the effects sure are devastating as, but it's a different phenomenon.
Way to miss the point. ?

Not much you can do out to sea. Hope to have a grip on a boat??

Being oit on sea is probably the best place, long as your not close to land
errrikblack
You haven't ever heard of the great lake michigan tsunami of 1921? Wiped out nearly all of IL. They said one comes every 100 years.
There is the threat of the New Madrid Fault. Every once in a while we get little earthquakes but old timers always say the big one is coming

Ok, but why are they all standing there as if nothing is happening until they are too close to get away?
modicumjones
the one guy looks like he was desperately trying to secure his boat to something before the water came. Still pretty stupid.

That was the dumbest of all. At that stage he knew he was fucked. Being bewildered at "hmm where us the sea gone" is understandable

Strugglecityliveshere
Landslide can still cause a tsunami. Particularly if underwater landslide.
sloppygashmeat
Because Skyrim belongs to the Nords.
They already fled from the first wave, you can see a boat tumbling around. This was a much larger second wave.
SomeDetroitGuy
RIGHT? The boats on dry land make it clear the sea already receded. When that happens YOU GET THE FUCK OUT IMMEDIATELY.

Most of the time if something very strange (and sudden) changes happening in nature, it is better to look for a safe place. Just to be sure.

Yes, a VERY small settlement in a desolate place have the same access to knowledge that you have wherever you live. 1/2
May I remind you that most places that internet and phones and IOT are like 10-15 years behind the rest of the world. 2/3
And people living in small settlements aren't sitting on their phones and computers all day since they need to provide for their family. 3/4
orbitn
More likely than not from seeing it repeatedly in movies. Not everyone shares your background. If greenland doesn't see many tsunamis and
these people didn't have the benefit of education or having seen deep impact, etc.. how would they have known? Before getting their boating
Shouldn't it be something that is at the bare minimum mentioned or covered to get your boating license?
