Hours to evacute east coast, but you can't. What then? I live in South Florida and my plan is to get on a boat/yacht/ship and ride out and directly into the wave. I figure that's the best chance of survival. I was considering finding the tallest local building that I can find and going to the roof, but I'm afraid it might not be high enough. Another option is to buy a jetpack, which would be ideal. |

Quoting: thetrickybigguy The chaos on the road ways will trap most there.I believe the bottom 2/3 rds of Fl is going into the water at some point not to far away.Fl is doomed in so many ways.The mess in the gulf,the escaping gas in the gulf,close to Cuba,etc.Many other reason to many to list |

The wave should stop on the other side of the hills from my home. From the hills to Cape Cod is pretty flat. It should be close. |

What then? secure yourself a place in the Millennium repent in truth those who are taken out by the upcoming geologic onslaughts will find it was somewhat fortunate in light of all things ongoing at present, as the time left in this dispensation grows short, regardless they can earn their place on the right side of the gulf in said Millinneum Age without having to go thru tribulation at the hand of the antichrist, in which to succeed one will have to go the distance against all odds and the majority of people left in the world at that time, who will in all truth believe him to be their Lord and Saviour albeit mistakenly, only to be found to have been worshipping satan in the final moments not a pretty picture for those who've spent their lifetimes in church pews doing the best they know how to be worthy of that which follows in overcoming the ways of this world for those who survive the downside of all to come to pass in this regard, the pit and the snare await |
