Well - this is just some general info and nothing that I worry about but just pray against, because my daughter and 2 grandbabies live in N.J. - along with Most of my immediate family - not to mention all of the brothers and sisters in Christ that I know on the East Coast, including N.Y. and Conn, etc..
Anyhow - someone mentioned this last month and coincidently I've been following the events on the Canary Islands for a little while now.
I'll just post this and we can just pray against it.
Still smiling :) [and praying this won't happen and holding on to my doubts that it will - if no one minds - In His Love alone.].
"In a BBC Horizon programme broadcast on October 12, 2000, two geologists (Day and McGuire) hypothesised that during a future eruption, the western flank of the Cumbre Vieja, with a mass of approximately 1.5 x1015 kg, could slide into the ocean. This could then potentially generate a giant wave which they termed a “megatsunami” around 650–900 m high in the region of the islands. The wave would radiate out across the Atlantic and inundate the eastern seaboard of North America including the American, the Caribbean and northern coasts of South America some six to eight hours later. They estimate that the tsunami will have waves possibly 160 ft (49 m) or more high causing massive devastation along the coastlines. Modelling suggests that the tsunami could inundate up to 25 km (16 mi) inland – depending upon topography."
Still quaking even now ...
