Did you say a "250-metre high wave"???

I keep trying to imagine that, and I can't do it. It literally defies my imagination.

It's like that Chaplin mask illusion that somebody posted in LOL. You know what you SHOULD see, but you can't convince your brain to do so. Same thing here, when I try to imagine a wave as tall as Hoover Dam, GOING OVER HOOVER DAM. I just can't conjure an image.

It is really unimaginable.
Just like the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, it is also a tsunami, but on a lake this situation is even more "unreal".
