Step 2 pushes out us poor pre-CS2 users.
It would be easy enough to just cut a section out with another polygonal lasso to get a similar looking effect on the empty space left but that wouldn't change the terrain of your original image to make it appear to have shifted.
I'm sure it would still look ok on all but the most detailed of maps though, or to the most nitpicky of observers.
Great walkthrough once again Tom.

For us pre-warp CS users I'd just make a jaggy selection on a new layer, fill it with noise, motion blur it, and then set it to multiply.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
