The National Weather Service in Grand Forks, North Dakota assured North Dakotans there was “no threat” of a tsunami in the landlocked state on Tuesday.

After a social media user asked, “where is the tsunami warning for Fargo, apparently people are searching for this,” the National Weather Service Grand Forks advised, “There is no threat for tsunami impacts in North Dakota. If you are in a coastal area under threat however check https://tsunami.gov for up to date information and with local officials for any evacuation orders.”

“The fact this needed to be said is wild,” reacted Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin, while meteorologist Chris Martz questioned, “North Dakota is between 750 and 3,506 feet above sea level and its westernmost point is about 950 miles from the Pacific Ocean. Are people there seriously that dumb that they think a tsunami could impact them?”

The Honolulu Department of Emergency Management advised Hawaiians to get to buildings “at least 10 stories” tall on Tuesday after warning that a tsunami was expected to hit around 7:17 pm local time.

23. This is what the homeschooled science and science glasses in public ed taught by gym teachers gets us

[mwmisses4289]

2. Ironic that a reporter from the organization has actively

contributed to the dumbing down of many americans saw fit to ask if many americans are that dumb. Yes, sir, thanks to your organization's efforts over the last 40 or so years, many americans are now that dumb and stupid.

3. Suddenly, all the NoDak jokes I heard living in Montana make a little more sense.

(I think this was on one of Letterman's Top Ten lists ! )

[electric_blue68]

49. snort!

That's some guarantee!
😄 😉

[usaf-vet]

8. Trump got elected president, which should answer the question: there are dumb F...ing people everywhere.

[thought crime]

41. But mostly in the states he won.

[Ray Bruns]

9. "The fact this needed to be said is wild,"

It’s not wild. It’s ridiculous and sad.

[rurallib]

10. The Great and Magnificent Trump stopped it with his magic

Sharpie, just like he did that hurricane in his first term!

All Hail the pedophile!

[electric_blue68]

50. He draw a tsunami-proof wall!

[SomewhereInTheMiddle]

52. That South Dakota paid for? nt

[republianmushroom]

12. Oh, yes, intelligence.

Or the lack there of.

Not just those in ND.

13. All those instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe......

...are pointed AWAY from Earth (and specifically N.Dak.) for a good reason.......It's good that some people aren't allowed to play with subatomic particles.

[republianmushroom]

14. The reasons they point away from earth become clearer and clearer evey day.

[calimary]

15. If they're watching Fox, they are.

[Greyhead]

16. I'm from ND

And yes there are people that dumb here. Lots of them!! The majority of the farmers here voted for the dipshit.

[RobertDevereaux]

17. Let us NEVER underestimate . . .

. . . the potential will and power of a couple of oceans gone batshit crazy!

A Fargoan, quite lost in their head,
Feared tsunamis, from what someone said.
NWS sighed,
"No ocean tide!
Perhaps check a map instead.

19. I fear America may have too many stupid people to maintain...

...an advanced civilized society.

[thought crime]

43. It's now an established fact.

The Barbarians are inside the Gate.

[Dr. T]

20. People in the neighboring state elected Kispy Moan as governor.

It must be maddening living among such people.

[Marcuse]

21. We didn't need two of them.

[MissouriDem47]

22. Reminder

These people vote.

[leftyladyfrommo]

24. Whew! I was afraid Missouri might get

hit. So I guess it's safe to leave the house.

We do have weather coming in but we worry about tornadoes more.

[SWBTATTReg]

29. Ha ha heh. As one who lives in STLMO, I was more worried about a Tsunami coming up the Mississippi River valley

should one hit. Can you imagine? Just as bad as North Dakota getting hit by a tsunami.

[RazorbackExpat]

53. If the New Madrid fault acts up again,

you just might get a tsunami coming up the Mississippi Valley

27. STG

We are living in the matrix where are the stupid people rule the land. It's awful.

[NJCher]

51. Yes

I write Wiki bios for truly smart people. Right now I am working on one for a guy with an IQ of 184. He taught himself to read at age 2.

The accomplishments of some of these people is truly astonishing. They will often have 4 or 5 fields in which they are accomplished. Their bios can go on for pages and pages. I ask myself when they find time to sleep.

Another one has a list of publications, single-spaced, that is almost half an inch thick. Quite amazing when you realize one line can be a 2-inch thick book. We met in her office a couple times and it was a hellacious mess—but she knew exactly where every single item was. I saw her put out a 600-page book in 7 weeks. When I asked how she did that, she said the book wrote itself.

These people have associations with other super-smart, accomplished people in the U.S., and sometimes I have to read their bios, too, to get the connections straight. The point I am making is that we have an incredible number of these kinds of people. It is actually painful for me to see the sick, strange, stupid people trump has put in charge. Not only are they stupid, they are dysfunctional, too.

I think of this wealth of U.S. talent and wonder how this ever happened. The stupid (and morally deficient) do indeed run the land.

[IronLionZion]

28. We can probably guess who they voted for

[róisín_dubh]

30. I just read this to my British partner...

They’ve never been to the US and immediately said “isn’t ND in the middle of the continent?”

Fucking Christ on a bike

[Torchlight]

31. And The Onion wept.

We're not taking any chances, said one resident, stocking up on sandbags and pool noodles. "You can't trust that ocean. It’s sneaky..."

Sources report the same group has also petitioned to ban wind turbines due to concerns about 'windmill cancer clusters' citing a Facebook post and a gut feeling. Experts remain baffled. It’s like geography, physics, and common sense all called in sick" said one scientist, who asked to remain anonymous to avoid being targeted by the Flat Earth Tsunami Response Team.




(for Statler's sake: the above is made up stuff, kay?)

[angrychair]

32. Holy busted brain cell Batman

This is one of the most absurd things I've ever heard and in 2025 so that is impressive level of stupidity.

[Scalded Nun]

33. I try, I try...to see the hope that these morons will come back to reality. Then I see this.

[popsdenver]

34. As Trump and Republicans

keep spewing pure bullshit, they are testing the limits of the gullibility of their 75+ Million mindless voters.

This goes to prove that there IS NO LIMIT, to not only their gullibility, but NO LIMIT to their IGNORANCE AND STUPIDITY.....

This shows there low intelligence is UN-FATHOMABLE.

To believe this, they must also all believe in the FLAT EARTH concept......

[BlueSpot]

35. People who make tweets like this should be required by law to attach them to their resumes. n/t

[Conjuay]

37. Or staple a copy to their forehead.

N/T

[Evolve Dammit]

36. Head slap as the stupidity just burns.

[Buddyzbuddy]

38. And that's how it's done.

Say what you will about Republicans but it is a genius strategy to go after the least populous states by;

Buying relatively cheap AM stations
Using the pulpit
Capture state and local offices
Dumb down the Education system
Keep wages down
Beat the racist drum

And then sit back and cash in on the idiocy that Republicans have brought forth. Night of the Living dead in real life.

[thought crime]

44. You can fool some of the people all of the time.

They're called Republicans.

[Buddyzbuddy]

46. Agreed.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

39. I am disappointed that the weather service did not tell me if Houston is safe

[Old Testament Libera]

40. I hate to generalize about the Dakotas....

...but Kristi Noem was elected governor of South Dakota. It is clear that there is a major stupidity vortex very close to North Dakota.

[electric_blue68]

42. Ohhhh... 😑😑😑

Just... Wow!!!
Hello, is anyone home in there?

[Igel]

45. Well, there is (if you believe some) evidence of a tsunami reaching there. Ahem.

Not recently.

The claim is that the tsunami from Chicxulub reached there ... but North America was quite a different place at the time.

No, I'm not even hinting that maybe even one of the North Dakotans had this in mind.

[LudwigPastorius]

47. Some North Dakotans are apparently suffering from the heartbreak of cortical insufficiency.

No wonder the state went for Trump by almost 40 points last November.
