Starting to look more and more like Day After Tomorrow, when's the ice age?
Ok, so the tidal wave wasn't from sea levels rising, but a 9.0 earthquake in the ocean off indonesia. An earthquake so strong it caused the earth's rotation to slow down and the poles to shift slightly. The wave half destroyed India, Sir Lanka, Taiwan, Indonesia, and Africa, as well as completely swollowing small islands and sucking them into the ocean. So far they've gotten 57,000 confirmed dead, but people say it might be in the millions.
