just ruminating on the pole shift situation, that is estimated to put the new equator roughly about the latitude of greenland
in both images, the center is where the least rotational velocity will happen
here on madeira we are really very close to that center, i'd call it about 1200km or so, probably under 2000
all things considered it seems to me like the safest place on the island will be the higher altitude parts of the south side, camacha, and up at the very tops of the mountain behind Funchal
likely the sea level rise during the process will be under 500m, so anywhere from 500m upwards is a pretty good bet to be a safe place to set up shop
it may well wash over a bit, but it's probably too tall from around that point considering how great the torque on the sea water is at that point
100% almost no chance of serious sea water based problems at 1km at the top of camacha, which was where i first landed on this island, it's very nice there up above camacha... quiet, too, actually, apart from the dogs that people keep in cages, it's one of the most remote and elevated parts of the island
i'm gonna get my boat as well but i'm now thinking maybe to settle here, try and get some kind of residential permission and stuff, maybe i can actually skip renewing my netherlands passport because i don't think there's any place i could be expelled to nor would they be overly upset about me being here, doing my business, spending the money i bring on local vendors
the boat option i'm going to reserve because it sorta looks like cape verde is even closer to the likely eye of the storm, and maybe it's a good interim to live in a marina for a while
