Nw this makes good sense and has the virtue of having historical evidence to support it. It would be like a piece of the cookie breaking off. The 2 foot movement just created a weak spot where the lava can break through, which is why it is a straight line, as well as parallel to the cookie chunk. History says a similar event where the cookie broke, caused a 1000 ft Tsunami on the Left Coast. Maybe God wants to clean out the liberal coast?
