John,
the flood myths have most likely nothing to do with neither Madagascar nor the Black Sea. It was probably a real adventure of an old Sumerian lifestock trader, who build a particularly big vessel (or roped several smaller ones up) and was taken by surprise by rare typhoon coming in from the Indian Ocean. Which flushed him out to the Persian Gulf and weeks later to the coast of whatever country that's around there.

National Geographic had an article this month about comet/asteroid impacts with the earth.
There are some maps and photos in the article.

This part here reminds me of the same computer work done on the Clovis Comet incident as well. Must have been the same people doing both sceneros. Just imagine the kinetic energy released almost instantly on such an explosion. Most people will not think of this, but without considering such, it is impossible to totally understand the scope of such an event.

| Well, I don't want to nit-pick, but the thing has kinetic energy as long as it's zooming in, but it becomes something else on impact. How much kinetic energy you can figure out yourself, KE (in joules) = 1/2 mv squared. m is kilogramm, and v the speed, metres/second. |

Naturally, I wasn't referring to you "Q", when I intimated that most people do not consider the kinetic displacement of energy. You are a certified Genius and already know such things.
