What happens when you’re lost and you don’t have your phone to give you directions? We all have that one road, building, or tree that helps us remember where we’re going.

To the Paiute tribe, who lived in the Great Basin of North America,…

In six hours, you, your government, and 124 million other people across 14 states will be tested by the greatest disaster to ever hit the U.S. East Coast. A great wave, 1000 meters (3280 ft.) tall, moving towards you at 1000 km/h (621 mph), and that’s only the beginning. This is ‘What If,’ and here’s what would happen if a megatsunami hit the U.S. East Coast. Unlike most tsunamis that are triggered by tectonic activity, megatsunamis are caused by sudden impact. A huge chunk of debris, possibly a meteor, smashes…
