Our Presidents country, Kenya, could get wiped out with a tidal wave if this happens.
This is not good. All of his family is there. Brothers, aunts, uncles.
Is the secret service aware of this?

As I understand it, the Great Rift extends from southern Africa all the way to Mt. Hermon. The Red Sea fills one of the valleys in this rift system. The various great East African lakes are located in others.

Thanks decimon. I think there's been a topic about this, but this is an update, plus it's been a long time.

Isn’t this area below sea level right now?? If the rift reaches the ocean the whole area may flood, similar to what may have happened when the Mediterranean reached the Black Sea.

I think I’ll buy some (future) ocean front property in Ethiopia for an investment.
No, better yet, I think I’ll start selling ocean front property in Ethiopia...to Demoncrats!

I think my point will be clarified when you read the actual press release. It discusses a localized portion of the African Rift system.

So all of this fuss is just about a small portion of the great rift valley? Not much news here.
