WOW!
While kind of sad for the Coral, the power is just awesome!
The life and death circle of the earth amazes me. It may have killed that coral but somewhere it built or started building something awesome.

3 meters = roughly 10 feet

Still awesome power to lift an island like that.

I posted this in another forum, and one of the people that responded believes either it is from global warming, genetic engineering, or a government conspiracy. If not all 3.

Earthquakes do some crazy things, but that is one of the strangest I have seen
