derksenmobile   We'd have ten years to dig whale-bunkers and reinforce the roofs of our bigger, tougher buildings to survive the whale rain. Bad, but not unsurvivable. And we'll have a lot of whale meat to subsist on while waiting for the ecology to recover (we'll have to stockpile preservatives and the equipment for making whale jerky, or mine the vast deposit of frozen whale meat that would cover the Antarctic).

JonThompsonsEmail   I was discussing this with some friends and one argued that the kinetic energy of that many whales hitting the earth at terminal velocity would be worse than a meteorite. It would cause tectonic shifts, volcanic eruptions (including the Yellowstone supervolcano) and a huge dust cloud that would create an unsurvivable nuclear winter.

In exactly ten years animals larger than a Pygmy marmoset will transform into a blue whale. These blue whales will be regular blue whales in every way except they will possess the memories and same intellectual capacity as their original form. Everyone knows this is coming.

In exactly ten years a strata of blue whales will appear underground at 100 meters above sea level. These whales completely cover this elevation, but only if they are completely underground. Everyone knows this is coming.
