Hamptons

Hamptons Tsunami Threat... Huh?

Briefly we wondered if the scientists had confused their coasts. But upon further reading, we learned that the Hamptons are, in fact, at risk of being hit by a tsunami. Which is what they call a tidal wave in the Pacific. It's a very, very small risk, but it's still possible.

Of course, no risk assesment to the Hamptons would be complete without a colorful elevation map, which the scientists have considerately included. At the end of the day, the chances of a tsunami hitting here are exceedingly slim, but if it does happen, we can only blame Puerto Rico.
