Mid-Atlantic Ridge! Ireland's San Aindreas Fault? Saint Malachi, (an early Irish Christian saint), predicted that most of the island of Ireland would be submerged below the sea towards the end of time. With severe flooding in the west of Ireland (Connacht) over the last few winters, his premonitions may parallel the Mayan 20/12/2012 apocalypse?
(...more) Neither should you dismiss the dream an Irish lady had a few years ago about a tsunami that she said originates from France hitting Ireland. Minutes after she woke up from her nightmare, she heard her 3yr old girl crying in her own bedroom. She went in to calm her but the little girl kept slapping her mother saying “Why didn’t you come to take me out of the water? It was everywhere!” Weird, eh...? Mother and daughter in different bedrooms having the same nightmare at the same time. That's really creepy!
(...more) It is expected to roll northwards over the Atlantic and hit Ireland’s southern shores with some force, even extend up the Irish Sea and affect Dublin. Worst of all, the tsunami’s waves will be most forceful travelling across the Atlantic to crash into the eastern seaboard of the Americas – all the way from Brazil to Florida to New York and beyond. The death toll and destruction from this same tsunami that hits Ireland is expected to be enormous on the US eastern seaboard. At least that is what the experts said on TV's Discovery Channel. You don’t dismiss scientific experts too easily, do you? Google ‘Cumbra Vieja tsunami’ for more info. (more...)
I would not dismiss a tsunami hitting Ireland sometime soon. Irish people who have visited La Palma (Canary Islands) off the coast of Africa would know that has active volcanoes and that its West side is mostly of steeply sloping green meadowland. Soft agricultural soil sitting on the rocky slopes beneath slips each year with each rumble and is very unstable. It is predicted to collapse en-masse suddenly sometime soon, with the whole mountainside sliding down and crashing into the sea like a giant slab of muck and broken rock, creating a monstrous tsunami. So what will happen then? (More...)
God help us all! Dang - I make all my real estate decisions based on avoiding U.S. Superfund sites, as well as that "Ring of Fire" around the globe! I thought Ireland was far enough away from Iceland, even, to have those concerns of volcanic, earthquake, and tsunami issues! Well, if we have to go, the best place in the world would be via Connemara!
Angrypaddy.Take a deep breath~~Breath in~~Breath out~~Breath in~~Breath out~~Breath in~~Breath out.
Either way, many prayers and blessings I will send to Ireland. Never know in cases like this. Hope all is well!
Probably would not do as much damage as anglo irish
Earthquake? Tsunami? The story doing the rounds is that was simply "passing wind".
People of Donegal!!!! You will rebuild! Don't despair!!..there are teams of people rushing to Donegal as I write. With spirit levels to fix those crooked paintings on the walls. Hang on!!
folks who call the shots for ould erin are scarier than anything tsunamis may visit.
I would'nt worry. I'm sure we'll all grow old and die roaring in our beds.
