Earth to have close brush with comet, page 16

I also came across that thread at the GodlikeProductions.com forum on the 19th, started by someone calling himself "Office of Naval Intelligence". It's unfair to describe the site as a "fanatic webpage" because reasonable people also go there. ONI made a family of four flee inland after following someone's suggestion that everyone running away from the tsunami should first "put down" their pets rather than abandon them, and maybe the only redeeming feature of the thread is this family's almost daily reports on how they're faring on their westward journey. Today they end the chronicle and they start out by saying that...

Final Update:

Well today's the day. We are praying for all those we left behind when we left the coast on Friday night particularly those who were so adament that we were CRAZY for believing something we had read on the internet.

Again I am glad that on my first visit ever to GLP I saw this post about a Tsunami hitting the E. Coast on the 25th. That poster obviously took unbelievable risks to bring us the truth about what was to come.

We are going to try to ignore the news today because paying attention to it will be just too painful once we hear the comet has struck and we know that certain death and destruction of so many is then cast in stone and only awaiting the time it takes for the tsunami to cross the ocean.

I have kept the potential bad news about the meteo/comet from the kids, though they can't quite understand why we left our home so suddenly Friday night and traveled half way across the country. Our child who was due to graduate from HS in a couple of more weeks is asking us several times a day now if we will get back for "his graduation" and I just haven't had the heart to tell him that it is unlikely that any of his friends from school will survive to see the end of this week.

The kids and wife think I am a little batty ... but what kids don't think their dad is a little "off". I'm not worried. They will see how I protected them in just a few hours and they will stop that crazy talk about me needing to get some counseling.

[Geological Update: It seems like in English they never or almost never say "hypocenter", but "focus", so they talk about deep-focus and shallow-focus earthquakes.]
