minus-squarehomoludens@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-21 day agoIt’s probably because of the last sentence. Which technically is a fact (because they obviously think that), but 5m is something at least cities in northern Germany are usually prepared for.

minus-squarenjm1314@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 day agoNobody said 5 m above anything, the original comment was 5 ft above the average tsunami. So 15 ft total which isn’t quite 5 m but it’s close ish.
minus-squareandrewta@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·23 hours agoSorry for the typo. Will correct it.

minus-squareandrewta@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·23 hours agoSorry about the error of switching from ft to m. But still 5 ft above an average tsunami is a large increase. I’d be surprise if most coastal cities could handle that
