This Patriot is not positive about this one, however, I DO feel that I need to provide my readers w/ possible threats ALERTS. You can each make up your own minds after you review the info provided.
In a nut shell, Florida would be history. NOTHING left! Louisana, Texas gulf coast & Mississippi would take the biggest blunt of the force along with ALL vessels & oil rigs that are in the gulf at the time this happens….Vessels & Oil rigs will be gone instantly & those on board these will perish.
Most of this info was broadcast on the “Coast to Coast” radio program in the last few days.
The following text is a copy & paste. That way, if the site gets censored, we’ll still have the info.

How the ultimate BP Gulf disaster could kill millions
by Terrence Aym
Disturbing evidence is mounting that something frightening is happening deep under the waters of the Gulf of Mexico—something far worse than the BP oil gusher.
Warnings were raised as long as a year before the Deepwater Horizon disaster that the area of seabed chosen by the BP geologists might be unstable, or worse, inherently dangerous.
What makes the location that Transocean chose potentially far riskier than other potential oil deposits located at other regions of the Gulf? It can be summed up with two words: methane gas.
The same methane that makes coal mining operations hazardous and leads to horrendous mining accidents deep under the earth also can present a high level of danger to certain oil exploration ventures.
Location of Deepwater Horizon oil rig was criticized
More than 12 months ago some geologists rang the warning bell that the Deepwater Horizon exploratory rig might have been erected directly over a huge underground reservoir of methane.
Documents from several years ago indicate that the subterranean geologic formation may contain the presence of a huge methane deposit.
None other than the engineer who helped lead the team to snuff the Gulf oil fires set by Saddam Hussein to slow the advance of American troops has stated that a huge underground lake of methane gas—compressed by a pressure of 100,000 pounds per square inch (psi)—could be released by BP’s drilling effort to obtain the oil deposit.
Current engineering technology cannot contain gas that is pressurized to 100,000 psi.
By some geologists’ estimates the methane could be a massive 15 to 20 mile toxic and explosive bubble trapped for eons under the Gulf sea floor. In their opinion, the explosive destruction of the Deepwater Horizon wellhead was an accident just waiting to happen.
Yet the disaster that followed the loss of the rig pales by comparison to the apocalyptic disaster that may come.
A cascading catastrophe
According to worried geologists, the first signs that the methane may burst its way through the bottom of the ocean would be fissures or cracks appearing on the ocean floor near the damaged well head.
Evidence of fissures opening up on the seabed have been captured by the robotic submersibles working to repair and contain the ruptured well. Smaller, independent plumes have also appeared outside the nearby radius of the bore hole itself.
According to some geological experts, BP’s operations set into motion a series of events that may be irreversible. Step-by-step the drilling team committed one error after another.
Congressmen Henry Waxman, D-CA, and Bart Stupak, D-MI, in a letter sent to BP CEO Tony Hayward, identified 5 missteps made by BP during the period culminating with the explosion.
Waxman, chair of the Congressional energy panel and Stupak, the head of the subcommittee on oversight and investigations, said, “The common feature of these five decisions is that they posed a trade-off between cost and well safety.”
The two Representatives also stated in the 14-page letter to Hayward that “Time after time, it appears that BP made decisions that increased the risk of a blowout to save the company time or expense.”
Called by some insiders investigating the ongoing disaster a “perfect storm of catastrophe,” the wellhead blew on the sea floor catapulting a stream of mud, oil and gas upwards at the speed of sound.
In describing the events—that transpired in a matter of seconds—they note that immediately following the rupture the borehole pipe’s casing blew away exposing a straight line 8 miles deep for the pressurized gas to escape. The result was cavitation, an irregular pressure variance sometimes experience by deep diving vessels such as nuclear submarines. This cavitation created a supersonic bubble of explosive methane gas that resulted in a supersonic explosion killing 11 men and completely annihilating the drilling platform.
Death from the depths
With the emerging evidence of fissures, the quiet fear now is the methane bubble rupturing the seabed and exploding into the Gulf waters. If the bubble escapes, every ship, drilling rig and structure within the region of the bubble will instantaneously sink. All the workers, engineers, Coast Guard personnel and marine biologists measuring the oil plumes’ advance will instantly perish.
As horrible as that is, what would follow is an event so potentially horrific that it equals in its fury the Indonesian tsunami that killed more than 600,000, or the destruction of Pompeii by Mt. Vesuvius.
The ultimate Gulf disaster, however, would make even those historical horrors pale by comparison. If the huge methane bubble breaches the seabed, it will erupt with an explosive fury similar to that experienced during the eruption of Mt. Saint Helens in the Pacific Northwest. A gas gusher will surge upwards through miles of ancient sedimentary rock—layer after layer—past the oil reservoir. It will explode upwards propelled by 50 tons psi, burst through the cracks and fissures of the compromised sea floor, and rupture miles of ocean bottom with one titanic explosion.
The burgeoning methane gas cloud will surface, killing everything it touches, and set off a supersonic tsunami with the wave traveling somewhere between 400 to 600 miles per hour.
While the entire Gulf coastline is vulnerable, the state most exposed to the fury of a supersonic wave towering 150 to 200 feet or more is Florida. The Sunshine State only averages about 100 feet above sea level with much of the coastline and lowlands and swamps near zero elevation. [Elevation map] A supersonic tsunami would literally sweep away everything from Miami to the panhandle in a matter of minutes. Loss of human life would be virtually instantaneous and measured in the millions. Of course the states of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and southern region of Georgia—a state with no Gulf coastline—would also experience tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of casualties.
Loss of property is virtually incalculable and the days of the US position as the world’s superpower would be literally gone in a flash…of detonating methane.

This is part of a story I wrote in 1993. It describes the devastation of Florida by a cat 5+ hurricane, dubbed ‘Gulliver’. Because of insufficient grasslands and excessive to urban development, the scenario of then may be America’s future.
From tube 3:
Knight-Ridder: GULLIVER’S TRAVELS ENGULF THE GULF
Two weeks ago–the storm’s day one, it was one of those no-name tropical depressions commonly known to mill about the Caribbean this time of year. On day two, it gathered energy and became better organized. As it lumbered through the Lesser Antilles during its third and fourth days of life, the Hurricane Center dubbed it ‘T. S. G.’ (tropical storm Gulliver). The NWS aircraft assigned to fly into Gulliver’s eye on the afternoon of day three was lost and has since never been found. Bits and pieces of the transcript between the Center and the crew more than suggested that Gulliver was destined to be more than an average storm. Satellite images of it around that time showed its eye to already be about the size of Rhode Island and its body the breadth of Texas. Surface winds over tiny Bermuda, before contact was lost later that evening of the fifth day, were said to be in excess of 200 mph. Within the span of 104 hours a ho-hum, no-name Caribbean T. D. had assumed seven league boots, strode 180 miles east, exploded into a full blown category 4 hurricane, and was threatening to strike the central land mass of Florida.
The advisory to evacuate was issued by the Hurricane Center after contact with the weather bird was lost (day three). The wise or lucky ones packed their bags and made an orderly retreat via whatever means available. Among the civilian population, there were relatively few who were wise or fearful enough to remove themselves from harm’s way when TSG was upgraded to a category 3 hurricane. NASA and the military had by then launched all their airworthy hardware to points north and west on the continent. The space agency somehow managed a glitch free, last minute launch of Champion on a hurry-up mission to who knew where. It was cheaper than snailing the shuttle north on that caterpillar cart. What couldn’t be carried, floated, or flown out by the sensible ones, was battened down for an hellacious blow.
The order to evacuate the coastal regions was announced on day four. Still the dubious grasshoppers fiddled as they watched skittish ants scurry as far from Gulliver’s path as possible. Those the authorities could not force to leave their treasured domains were asked to afford them with the names and address of their surviving next of kin. As long as there were folks willing to pay the entry fees, the amusement parks were willing to remain open for all to join Mickey in his antics or laugh with Goofy as the canine parody poked fun with sausage fingers at the ugly clouds roiling in to disrupt the fun. There were more than a few gawkers at Disney World on days five and six. There would be none the next.
Seven day old Gulliver was a 5+ monster when he slammed Merritt Island. He was an hour older after he barged through Titusville. By then, no sophisticated tracking system was needed to predict Gulliver’s path. In the matter of another few hours, he was looking at some prime real estate in Orlando. After the hurricane tore up all the asphalt and edifices to mediocrity, it assumed a more leisurely pace and curved toward a heading of some 330 degrees–approximately the track of I-75 up through Ocala on the way to Gainesville and points north. The rest of what followed is a history too horrible to relate, but I will try.
No amount of disaster preparation could have been enough to prepare the 14 million souls for Gulliver’s assault on the peninsula on that infamous day he struck. It was humanly impossible to predict how many tornadoes he would hurl at the north as inhabitants sought to flee his wrath. Nor was it possible to estimate the extent of the tidal surge his backwash would send to inundate the western coast.
Even now, a week after the hurricane’s immense, unfathomable energy was finally spent over Georgia, it is impossible to describe its awesome, appalling aftermath. Not consciously wishing to sound too tongue-in-cheek, Gulliver’s seven day travels through the Lilliputia of Florida and Georgia will be remembered as the most devastating naturally occurring disaster in modern history. There are no words to describe the mayhem and destruction I have seen this week. Words are not enough to tell you of the tragedy I have seen, the anguished wailings of the bereaved who winnow through the trash for children or mates, puppies or kittens, the stench from decaying corpses whose caricatures my mind has already taught my stomach not to wretch, the way my skin still crawls when I sense it really is possible that the next scene will be worst than the last.
Thank the wisdom of the disaster force. Live TV coverage is not allowed here, but I know there are ways around it, but hopefully the networks will keep most of the cheap shots off the air. I would not wish to be the one to shatter your minds with such terrible photography. My mind’s camera has panned enough to suit me for the rest of my life. Now, I wish to leave this place. I want to be with my loved ones, I wish to weep and gnash my teeth with you and thank God I, my family, and you were not here when giant Gulliver walked this land. It is the ugliest scene a correspondent would dare to see. Not even the horrors of Viet Nam compare with what mother nature has done to man. The effects of this storm’s harrowing rampage will be painfully remembered for generations to come.

Would the Canadian costline be touch by the power of supersonic tsunami?
Rene:
Most tsunamis exceed speed of sound. If the methane stratum (the flat bubble) above the oil chamber bursts through the drill head, it would produce a swell which will inundate NOLA within 7 seconds. Because of the death of the marsh lands, a massive erosion will transpire and the undertow will wash levees into the GOM.
I resurrected that old essay (the fictitious news article) to remind of our arrogant over development along the coasts and the outcome of an unprecedented ‘natural event’, somewhat like a huge storm as Gulliver or . . . or something else. Chew on it and try not to puke.

These kinds of stories scare me more than anything, including horror movies. If it is something that can actually happen, such as a natural disaster (or manmade by BP in this instance), it scares me so much. I used to live in Florida and I have family and friends that live over on the East Coast and would hate for this to actually happen.
I am truly aware of this becoming a reality. I have work disaster sites like Katrina and the Tennessee flood this year and highly trained and skilled in handling emergencies of all calibers as a specialized Hazardous Materials Team operative for over 15 years I just retired 2 years ago to Florida . I have never expected something like this to happen where I chose to enjoy my life.Now I need to stay informed about this and help prepare and stay alive to train people in recovery efforts please tap into my skills and knowledge and keep me within the know so I can help as many people as possible.Contact me via this email or phone 727-475-9266 God Bless !

is this going to really happen ? i cant believe my eyes my kids are in fort myers im in canada i want to get them here with me if we gona die and they cant get to me i am gong to them we will g together whe will evacuations start omg
Mary, I posted this info over a month ago. It appears that this ‘COULD BE’ a possibility. There is NOW a media blackout, ordered by BHO’s administration, so we don’t really know what is happening.
