I expect my Brethren and Sistren in Christ will have seen the news of the double-smiting of Togoland with a volcanic eruption followed by a tsunami of water. Is the "of water" redundant there? I think it probably is, but people are so
lieberal with language today that they talk about tsunamis of everything. Anyway, I'm talking about quite big waves which seem to be reaching Hawaii and maybe even California.
I wondered what the Tongolanders had done to incur Our Beloved Lord's Beneficent Wrath, but a little research reveals that their country used to belong to Germany, but was subsequently divided between the Godless British and the perfectly ghastly French. The capital city of the British part was called "Ho"
which is just asking for trouble.
I know nothing more about the place, and feel no need to addle my mind with further information. But should these quite big waves continue for a while, it will be interesting to see if a new Noah emerges and, if so, from where.
