Diana: Dr. Poag’s story is fascinating! As he “poked around the East coast of North America” looking for oil and gas reserves, evidence just beneath the surface of Planet Earth began revealing an extraordinary “extraterrrestrial” story…..that no one believed! Dr. Poag “followed the evidence, collected the data, and now is given the credit as the scientist who discovered the site of the Chesapeake Bay impact event site where the James River, the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean converge!

Diana: (con’t) The asteroid impact caused a tsunami that reached the Blue Ridge Mountains. Now, the tallest building in the Commonwealth of Virginia, is found in Virginia Beach, on the South rim of an enormous asteroid impact crater! Know to that the Eastern Shore of Virginia and much of central Virginia is “dimpled” with hundreds of “Carolina bay” features (aka: ovoid basins, (Soar Maps: Ovoid Basin Survey by Michael Davias), eliptical craters-recognized by the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy (Va DMME). Know too that: both the Louisa County fault zone (2011 earth quake that was felt from VA to Canada (to include the Washington Monument the National Cathedral and David Letterman, Late Night host);, the CB bridge & tunnel system; the Chesapeake Bay impact crater; and the massive Petersburg pluton / batholith are all situated above or in close proximity to the 37th Parallel ( recently featured on the Discovery Channel ). I wonder if developers and urban planners in Virginia consider these unique geological features?

Most of today's supposed scientific "facts" on climate only go back a couple hundred years. If you want to know the truth about the history of climate happenings, you need to go back at least 1000 years or more to see that the earth has experienced much more severe weather/climate changes than we see today. Like the old saying goes, "the more things change, the more they stay the same." There's nothing humans can do to alter the weather/climate. And to think the US making changes will alter the course of it while countries like China continue to bellow pollutants at the highest rates on the planet (with no plans to change), is wishful thinking at best. We all live under the same atmosphere.

Diana: I believe that the College of William & Mary and Professor Christopher M. Bailey, Department of Geology, now include extraterrestrial events in the curriculum. I think it would be a “blast” for you to add this “other worldly” twist to your fascinating report about “sinking cities along the East Coast of North America. Please consider developing a detailed report and/or story-line for The Discovery Channel !

Diana: I’ve sent a detailed message to the CNBC Customer Care / Zen team. Please contact Jem, the CNBC CC Team and Zen to view the content. I have sent an email to Christopher Bailey, College of William & Mary, Geology Department, with information about your recent “Sinking Cities” report that aired on the NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt” & the “CNBC, Power Lunch News”. Your informative report did NOT include any information about the Chesapeake Bay asteroid impact event that created the largest asteroid impact crater within the boundaries of North America. Dr. Wylie Poag, USGS and Professor “Chuck” Bailey should be able to provide additional information. Know that the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel systems are constructed above a crater with a depth that equals the Grand Canyon. Ancient saline sea water has hammered into the fresh water aquifer beneath Eastern Virginia.

Diana: Science has “caught up to the evidence”! “Georgia tecktites” have recently been chemically “linked” to the Chesapeake Bay asteroid and impact event. Those molten spherules were blasted along millions of square miles of North America…….and all originated from “ground zero” at Cape Charles, Virginia.

Diana: BTW Sidebar: Who knew that Richmond, Virginia is the site of numerous “Carolina bay” features…..hiding in plain sight! I think it’s “cool” that the Commonwealth of Virginia, Department of Mines, Mineral & Energy (VA DMME) has acknowledged the presence of hundreds of “Carolina bay” depressions evident from Central Virginia to the Eastern Shore!

“So with sea level rise for example, at the rate of five millimeters per year, we have X number of years into the future to deal with that, to prepare for that doubling of the flooding frequency." Five millimeters is the width of a paperclip. X= a LONG time from now.

I hope you can steep yourself in the mission of Livable Communities Initiative - Los Angeles and its director - Lindsay Sturman. It's pure and right how to balance housing with transit to balance climate risks and offer us all true hope.

let me know when u cant get a 30 yr mortgage. then ill worry
