Thanks much. Have wondered about whether the sea floor was raised or lowered 20 feet or so.
Ha! I thought for a moment your tagline said "Shaving a form of godliness." ... Well, i guess it could be considered cleanliness ...
The bible says that in such istances of tidal waves, the floors will rise. It is written! But nobody knows the end of the retribulation except God, I think.
I suspect we won't know the actual measurements of seafloor displacement for a while. The area will have to be surveyed and compared to earlier survey records.
There are reports of 100-foot (lateral?) displacement on the island of Sumatra - but I discount those as fantastic until I see the evidence. It is easy enough for a geodetic marker to get caught up in a landslide.
