If one looks only at the Torah Sheb'ksav, then I must admit that it is difficult to find examples which would satisfy RET. But if we include the fuller descriptions of what happened, it becomes quite easy.

I suppose a strong enough wind could make a path in the sea, and even might dry the seabed enough to call it "yabasha", but how would it support tunnels overhead? Or to congeal the wall such that one could poke it to make a fountain?

Blood and water from the same pitcher?
