Episode Details

Randall is joined by Darren Grimes and Graham Dunlop from The Grimerica Show to explore a striking geological mystery — the unexpected similarities between the Finger Lakes of New York and the Channeled Scablands of Washington.

Using the same analytical approach applied to the Scablands, Randall reveals a compelling pattern: the Finger Lakes are not parallel — their axes converge radially toward a single point deep beneath Lake Ontario.

Even more intriguing, the surrounding drumlins align toward that same location, suggesting a shared directional force.

Randall’s hypothesis?
A bolide impact into the Laurentide Ice Sheet, possibly nearly a mile thick, triggered a catastrophic release of meltwater — sending massive flows southwest before reversing and draining northeast into the Atlantic.

Unlike the Scablands — carved by water moving downhill — the Finger Lakes may record something even stranger:
catastrophic water flowing uphill.

This episode dives into the geometry, the evidence, and the implications of a potentially overlooked Ice Age event.
