The End of the World as We Know It
At least for the Eastern seaboard.
According to this article on MSN.com, the end is coming to the Eastern United States in the form of a tidal wave. At least, it might be coming. Sometime in the next 200 years, or so.
Apparently, there’s a volcanic island out there that has a big chunk of rock that might break off at the next eruption which should cause a tidal wave that would devistate the Eastern shores of North America. Yeah, a lot of suppositions there. But, it might happen.
In any case, it would make for an interesting story! Hey, it’s Friday, go write it this weekend!
