NOSTRADAMUS PREDICTS SUPERSTORM SANDY'S EFFECTS This is one of the quatrains of Nostradamus, the French prophet of the 1500's, in its English translation. "The garden of the World near the New City, in the road of the hollow mountains. It will be seized and plunged in the tank, forced to drink water poisoned with sulfer." New Jersey is nicknamed "The Garden State". "The New City" is a recognized code word for New York City used by Nostradamus. "...the road of the hollow mountains" sounds like a street running through skyscrapers, as a man 450 years ago might try to describe with the words he knew. "It will be seized and plunged into the tank" speaks of massive flooding. "(It will be) forced to drink water poisoned with sulfer" sounds like the tunnels, the subways, the basements and the streets poured full and covered with the polluted water forced on them by Superstorm Sandy. The original quatrain was in French and ran thus--- Century X X.XLIX Jardin du monde ax pres cite neufue, Dans le chemin des montaignes cauees, Sera faifi & plonge dans la Cuuee, Beuuant par force eaux foulfe enuenimees. The above quote is from "The Final Prophecies of Nostradamus" by Erika Cheetham. Published by Perigee Books, a division of Putnam Publishing Group, NY, NY. Copyright 1989. Did Nostradamus predict Superstorm Sandy's massive damage of New York City and New Jersey nearly 450 years ago? What do you think?
