mickledore Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 I think it is Madeira, but others will correct me if I'm wrong, has a very large slice of a mountain precariously poised to fall into the North Atlantic. This is on the NW side of the island, and all the predictions are that when it does fall (which might be very soon) it will set up a "movement" in the sea. This "movement" will travel, unhindered, until it reaches the Eastern seabord of a certain large country. Devastation will occur on a similar basis to that seen recently. I would what Super Mod will say about that? Link to comment

+Cryptik Souls Crew Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 This is getting pretty tedious now, Im not interested in all the politics going on, Im interested in geocaching, so how about we talk about that eh? Link to comment

+The Forester Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 (edited) The island is La Palma in the Canaries and there's no doubt whatsoever that the side of the volcano will quite certainly slide into the sea very suddenly. What is not known or knowable is when the slip will happen. There was a little bit of movement few years ago, with part of the mountain moving about four metres downhill. Mathematical models of the predicted event show that the resultant megaTsunami will hit the coast of the sunset side of the herring pond with a wave height of hundreds of metres and will penetrate several miles inland.

+Mad H@ter Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Although disappointed about recent events on here and the indiscriminate closing of threads, I have until now kept quiet, but I strongly believe that this thread is a step far too far and should be closed ASAP. Link to comment

+MarcB Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Apart from the dig at the mod at the end it is certainly food for thought... Link to comment
+Roberts-tribe Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Just a tad unnecessary at this time. Also be aware that the same predictions have substantial waves ( IIRC apprx 15M ) hitting the south coast of the UK. Link to comment
