ALL:
 
Since my family owns property on the east coast, I was interested in Jim
Bramlett's posting of the following.

Two interesting prophetic items....
 
BENNY HINN.  In a recent conference, Benny Hinn reports:
1.  In a recent vision, he saw MASSIVE earthquakes in America.
2.  He saw a TIDAL WAVE hit both the East Coast and West Coast.
3. The coastal lands were flooded with water, even New York City.
 
I had heard about the following scenario (below) and was interested in looking
it back up.  Here it is (below).
 
GOD BLESS!!!

Could waves hit here?
Collapse of volcano near Africa
By BRIAN KATES
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

Six, maybe eight, hours. That's all it would take before the wave crashed through New York Harbor, sending ships hurtling onto shore and flooding lower Manhattan and low-lying neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Staten Island.
The sea would rush over the West Side Highway and the FDR Drive, taking cars with it. Hundreds, maybe thousands, of New Yorkers would drown in subway tunnels.
In Queens, Kennedy and LaGuardia airports would be under water.
Imagine a HUGE wall of water, bigger than last week's killer tsunami, racing across the Atlantic Ocean at jetliner speed, straight for New York.
Economic losses would be measured in the trillions.
That's what could happen if, as some scientists fear, a fragile volcano known as Cumbre Vieja, a world away from New York in the Canary Islands, splits apart and crashes into the ocean.
The volcano cracked severely in 1949 and is continuing to weaken, according to Steven Ward, a professor of theoretical seismology and geophysics at the University of California at Santa Cruz. "Cumbre Vieja is about 98% through its cycle" before it collapses, Ward said.
Ward and other experts admit there is no telling when this might happen.
"It is unlikely ... that the collapse is imminent," marine geologist Simon Day, of the Benfield Hazard Research Centre at University College in London, wrote recently. "There will be plenty of short-term indications that a collapse may be about to occur."
But, he and other experts agree, it is only a matter of time.
If the volcano erupts, Ward explained, the magma will heat water trapped inside. As the water expands, it will push off the unstable part of the volcano.
"It could be a piece of rock as large as 100 New York City blocks and a mile high," Ward said, outlining a worst-case scenario.
Billions of tons of falling rock would hit the water at more than 200 mph. The energy released by the collapse would be equal to the electricity consumption of the entire U.S. for six months, according to one estimate.
A dome of water 1,000 feet high and tens of miles wide would form, collapse and rebound. As the landslide continued to move underwater, wave crests and troughs would fuel the ocean's relentless onslaught.
"It will diminish in size as it moves forward," Ward told the Daily News. "But even if it loses 90% of its height it would still be huge. An 8-meter [26-foot] wave would be devastating."
Prof. John Mutter of Columbia University's Lamont-Dougherty Earth Observatory agrees.
"There could be substantial loss of life in New York," Mutter said.
But, he added, "You don't need a doomsday scenario to flood the city. The airports are close to sea level. Brooklyn is close to sea level, as is lower Manhattan. New York Harbor is essentially open to the sea.
"A wave of only 10 feet could flood the subways and cause a huge amount of damage. And it would take only a very modest slumping event ? or underwater landslide ? in the Canaries to make that happen."
Mutter discounted the idea that Long Island would provide a buffer for the city. "For Connecticut, maybe," he said. "But not New York."
He called last week's deadly tsunami "a wakeup call."
"It is clear that this can happen, though the likelihood [of a tsunami] is smaller in the Atlantic than it would be in the Pacific," Mutter said.
Still, he added: "Just because this has not happened in our historic memory, people tend to play this down. It's a sad fact, but that's the way human beings are."
POISED TO STRIKE
If there were a major eruption of Cumbre Vieja volcano on La Palma, in the Canary Islands, scientists say, a 12-mile chunk of the island could be sent plunging into the ocean, creating a tsunami.
The tsunami would travel across the Atlantic at the speed of a jetliner ? up to 600 mph.
After 8 to 10 hours, waves up to 75 feet high could crash onto shorelines from the Caribbean to beyond Boston. In flat, coastal areas, tidal waves could wreak havoc for miles inland.
