minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•edit-222 hours 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-square@andrewtalink-2•edit-219 hours ago5 ft ABOVE the average tsunami is something most cities are prepared for?
minus-square@njm1314link3•21 hours 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.
