Tahoe “Tidal Wave”?
Geologists believe that in eons past a portion of the mountains that ring Lake Tahoe’s western boundary fell into the lake and caused a giant tidal wave that caused significant damage to the Lake Tahoe Basin. Could another tidal wave occur in the future?
This 2005 report by Kurtis Ming of KOVR-TV in Sacramento, California, considers the possibility.
