A tsunami could have been responsible for Britains greatest natural disaster...
A tsunami in the Bristol Channel off the English coast could have caused 2000 deaths in Britain's greatest natural disaster. For centuries it was thought the 'great flood' of Jan 1607 was caused by high tides and floods.
It was estimated that 200sq miles(520 sq km) of land in south Wales and SW England were covered in water.
Now two climate experts have come forward and argued in favour of the tsunami theory.
It is not only the pacific and asia where tsunamis are present.

Oh! Thank you for posting this. I had no idea. I am also fascinated by the Great Lake that was in the South part of England and overflowed causing the English Channel. Way back in the early stages of mankind. I have been looking for that TV special for a long time. I am going to study-up on this wonderful revelation too. I was born in Somerset and grew up there for ten years - so this is a great find! Thanks again. Amazing isn't it? jollyweez
