Lake Tahoe... and a tsunami?

Scientists from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California say that a tsunami could form in Lake Tahoe.

It would require an earthquake of magnitude 7 or higher. Because the lake is the 10th deepest in the world, that would magnify the effect. The result: waves 10 to 33 feet high, which would take just three to six minutes to reach shore. Details here.

Would the waves get as far as the casinos? Floating money.
