"Scientists have warned that a biblical flood will render several of the world’s greatest cities uninhabitable within a century."

Glad I'm old :)

I lived most of my life in Bklyn, Queens, Nassau and finally moved to upstate New York.

the most likely explanation being a crevasse melted out at the bedrock level by a warming ocean.”

Or maybe undersea volcanic activity............

Scientists Warn Of Massive
Tidal Wave From
Canary Island Volcano
By Steve Connor

The Independent - London

A wave higher than Nelson’s Column and travelling faster than a jet aircraft will devastate the eastern seaboard of America and inundate much of southern Britain, say scientists who have analysed the effects of a future volcanic eruption in the Canary Islands.

A massive slab of rock twice the volume of the Isle of Man would break away from the island of La Palma and smash into the Atlantic Ocean to cause a tsunami - a monster wave - bigger than any recorded, the scientists warned yesterday.

The computer model, compiled in collaboration with Steven Ward of the University of California, Santa Cruz, predicts that the tsunami will have a height of 100 metres (330ft) from crest to trough when it crashes into the shores of nearby north-west Africa. By the time it reached its final destination, the east coast of Florida and the Caribbean islands, the tsunami would still be up to 50 metres high.

Low-lying land in Florida would be vulnerable to a sea wave that would inundate the mainland for several kilometres inland. Everything in its path would be flattened, the computer model predicted.

Even though the wave would be much smaller when it reached Britain, it would still breach sea defences because it would be larger than the biggest storm waves for which they were designed, Dr Day said. “For low-lying land along the south coast it could penetrate up to a mile,” he said.

I would say they should be writing horror novels, but they aren’t very good at scaring people.

"...the good folks at Henry rifles so they have a chance to move their operations. They are currently located in Brooklyn..."

From their website:

The company’s headquarters is based in Bayonne New Jersey and a second manufacturing facility is located in Rice Lake Wisconsin.

The Bayonne site is right on the water, the Kill Van Kull, about one mile East of the Bayonne Bridge.

If you don't know it's there, you don't know it's there, it's that low key. Even after passing it on the water a couple hundred times and fishing on the dock right outside their gate, it took a friend telling Me he got a job there making parts for Me to know it was there.

“Gaia is punishing the humans”

I know a fellow who did not believe in God, his faith was in Gaia. I had to give him credit, though, he confessed when he was having a heart attack, and thought he was going to die, he wasn’t praying to Gaia for salvation. Nothing like a brush with death to make a man’s mind right . . .

Spare Staten Island. It voted 57% Trump.

Thanks for the correction. It looks like they moved from Brooklyn in 2008.
