You're great honeycomb under you right now. The wrath of God is belching right beneath you. How much longer He'll hold this sandbar hanging over that, when that ocean out yonder a mile deep will slide in there plumb back to the Salton Sea.''' It'll be worse than the last day of Pompeii. Repent, Los Angeles. Repent the rest of you and turn to God. The hour of His wrath is upon the earth. Flee while there's time to flee and come into Christ."

Since the 1950's, oil producers have been pumping water into the earth to replace the oil they extract in order to stop the land from sinking.  The only problem with this process is that water has different properties than oil, as residents of Daisetta, Texas learned in 2008 when the walls of an underground salt-cave (from which oil brine had been extracted) disolved, creating a sink-hole 900 feet wide by 260 feet deep.[http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,354501,00.html]  Between 1932 and 1960 iodine was harvested from oil brine extracted in the Los Angeles basin - raising the question of whether the water being pumped into the earth is currently disolving structural minerals under Los Angeles.

=The Tidal Wave=
One problem with subsistence (the sinking of land) is that it can create megatsunamis if they occur near water. History records the following megatsunamis created by landslides:
*365 AD - 100ft waves hit Alexandria after an earthquake off Crete.
*1792 AD - 330ft waves killed 15,000 villagers when parts of Mount Unzen, Japan slid into the sea.
*1958 AD - 1,720ft waves destroyed Lituya Bay, Alaska, after an earthquake caused a landslide.
William Branham said:
:''And, of course, the Salton Sea is about two hundred feet below sea level, and if that big churning, that earth swallowing in like that, with hundreds of square miles, hundreds and hundreds of square miles sinking into the earth, that'll throw a tidal wave plumb to Arizona. '' ([http://www.thefreeword.com/books/2465-L.pdf Sermon:Ashamed of Him, Jeffersonville, Indiana, July 11, 1965])

''We find ourselves at this Christmas, just about like they did the first Christmas though. The world's
just about to fall apart, as I preached on once somewhere, about a Christmas message, "The World
Falling Apart." And the world again is just about to come to pieces. Look at the earthquakes over here in
California. I predict before the coming of the Lord Jesus, that God will sink that place. I believe that
Hollywood, and Los Angeles, and them filthy places over there, that God Almighty will sink them. They'll
go beneath the bottom of the sea. And it's so much sin (You see?), it's the barrier. Civilization has
traveled with the sun, from... And it started in the east going west. And now it's at the west coast. If it goes any further, it'll be back east again. So that's the barrier. And sin has traveled with civilization, and
it becomes the cesspool of all ages. Things they do that--that human beings in any other age wouldn't
have thought of such a thing. Women has throwed theirself to such a filth, till no woman in any age
would've ever thought of such a thing as we do today. And then still call ourselves Christians. What a
disgrace.<ref>WHO_DO_YOU_SAY_THIS_IS PHOENIX_AZ 12-27-64</ref>
''Since that earthquake, there is a two or three-inch crack that come in the earth, starting in Alaska,
goes around through the Aleutian Islands, comes out about a hundred and fifty or two hundred miles in
the sea, comes back up at San Diego; takes in California, or Los Angeles, and comes out again just below
the northern part of California there, a little place called San Jose, just below there. And this scientist was
speaking, being on a interview. We was watching on television. And he said, "Beneath that is just a
churning lava." And he said this; he said, "That is... A chunk will break loose," and said, "and it will..." And
this inter--man on--scientist interviewing this chief scientist, said to him, said, "Well, that could then all
sink?" He said, "Could? It's got to." Said, "Well, 'course, will probably be many, many years from now."
He said, "It can be in five minutes from now, or it can be in five years from now." He just 'lotted five
years. But just as I surely was standing there under that Inspiration, put judgment on that west coast,
and then followed it right up here with the sinking of Los Angeles; she's gone! That's right.
''And, of course, the Salton Sea is about two hundred feet below sea level, and if that big churning, that earth swallowing in like that, with hundreds of square miles, hundreds and hundreds of square miles sinking into the earth, that'll throw a tidal wave plumb to Arizona.''<ref>Ashamed of Him, Jeffersonville, Indiana, July 11, 1965</ref>
''Everybody running, and trying to get under trucks and everything else. It went back up again and
clapped like a great thunder, went back up in the skies again, and come down again, and done that three
times. And when it was all over, they come over and asked, "What did it mean?" I said, "I don't want to
tell you, it was a judgment sign. In a few days a great earthquake's going to strike on the west. And it
won't stop. California, Los Angeles will sink. It's going down. It'll slide right into the ocean." And two days
after that, the Alaskan earthquake shook Alaska. And then, the last meeting I had in California, while
speaking, and didn't know nothing happened till I got on the street, It told California, said--said,
"Capernaum, Capernaum, the city that's called by the name of the angels (that's Los Angeles), you've
exalted yourself into heaven, but you'll be brought down into hell. For if the mighty works had been done
in Sodom that's been done in you, it would've been standing till this day." Now, the last few days, the
great roaring and popping.<ref>WORKS_IS_FAITH_EXPRESSED SHREVEPORT_LA 11-26-65</ref>
