So if you've talked to me recently, you'd know that I've had really repetitive dreams about tsunami's. For some reason or another I've developed this fear of them and I keep dreaming that they're gonna kill me. Last night I had my fifth dream in the last two months that I've been neara tsunami when its hit. I think the idea of knowing that god forbid it ever happened, I'd be washed away in two seconds living so close to the ocean.
Last night's dream started when erin and I were in a boat. And when I looked out the window towards the water, I noticed that we were starting to lift really high in the water. When I went on deck I saw that we several feet in the air and heading straight for the shore. All I remember was after we hit the sand, it was a blur. Then the water went back to normal for a few minutes and we ran up a street that turned into Emerald Court. I stopped at my neighbors house to ask if we could hide up there (because their house is high up) if the water came back, but they said no. So when I turned towards my house I saw my parents.... My dad threw us in the car and we started to drive off. I remember that my mom hadn't done well in the water and was having a hard time. Then we reached another part of Stoneham and the water came back. But this time it wasn't as bad, but we were stuck. Then I remember the rescue buses coming and getting us.
It was weird... and yet ANOTHER tsunami dream.
Then there is the Atlantic. Here we have a number of concerns. One is drawing much publicity and involves the Canary Islands.
According to a recent study, an explosion of the Cumbre Vieja volcano on the Canary island of La Palma could send a chunk of rock twice the size of the Isle of Wight into the Atlantic at up to 220 miles an hour. "In the study's scenario, energy released would equal the electricity consumption of the United States for six months -- sending gigantic tidal waves across the Atlantic at the speed of a jet plane," notes a news service. "Devastation in the United States would reach trillions of dollars with tens of millions of lives at risk. Spain, Portugal, Britain, France, Brazil, the Caribbean and West Africa would also be swamped by giant waves. 'It may occur in the next eruption, which could be next year, or it may be 10 eruptions down the line," said Bill McGuire of Britain's Benfield Hazard Research Center. Cumbre Vieja, which last exploded in 1971, typically erupts at intervals of between 20 and 200 years."
So concerned about this situation is Ned Dougherty, a former nightclub owner on Long Island who "saw" tidal waves during a famous near-death episode, that he visited the Canary Islands volcano in November and has issued an urgent letter saying a problem there is "imminent." Other mystics from the California to Ireland have likewise envisioned engulfing waves.
