Tsunami (Read 8277 times)

Rua Emerald Offline "Soft, yes. Weak, no." Posts: 341 Dublin, Ireland Gender:	Re: Tsunami Reply #15 - Dec 31^st, 2004 at 7:12pm It's very honourable of you to do what you have done, Bikerbraid. Every little bit helps. And thank you everyone for your concern. I can't exactly say my worries are over though. I keep thinking of what I could be doing to help, and yet feel so helpless in situations like this. It's hard to know what to do. Leia...I hope you are ok!

This is a quesiton for Leia...

I was just wondering if the tsunami that hit last week affected the area you live as well?

Oh Rua, sorry for taking so long to reply. I seem to have missed this thread for some reason! My family is okay, thank goodness. The city we live in is nowhere near the water, so we were not affected at all. Whole villages by the coast have been wiped out, though.

Thank you so much for thinking about me. (((Rua)))

What I hate the most about the situation is that all of those people had no warning of it. I can't get away from wondering if there had been a warning, how different those death numbers may have been.

I wasn't quite sure of the geographical aspect of where you live in Dhaka and where all of this natural disaster hit. (((Hugs)))

My dad was donating some money the other day (www.unicef.org) and he told me that if everyone in the world who could afford to donated $10, the tsunami relief foundation would be overflowing with money.

What happened was truly devestating. Unfortunately, scientists say it is only a matter of time before it happens to the east coast of the US.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/horizon/2000/mega_tsunami_qanda.shtml
THis is due to the weak volcano wall in La Palma which can collpase anywhere from 0-1000 years from now. The good news is that we will have 7-10 hours warning before the tidal wave (which will make "The Day After Tommorow" look like a joke) hits, and my city will be one of the first hit (NYC -_-). However, the best thing would be to go to higher ground . Secondly there is development of a worldwide tsunami system ove rthe next two years...although I think it should be right now!

We can learn from what happened in Asia. The sad thing is that people saw a clear warning of the tsunami and didn't heed it. The water receded beyond the horizon, so naturally people were curious to see no water where there previously was. They walked out and gathered fish that were left and then it hit. What gets me is how people (not including the nay tourists) who live in these areas, didn't feel any foreboding...or didn't run away (since they had two minutes). I still feel like this could have been prevented....and I fear that when it happens here, people won't be ready.

finally someone notices!! everyone speaking of "natural disaster" while humman ignorance - better: not caring to alert at all - is probably the biggest factor at least in the number of deaths ... it's not like a tsunami happens "like that" ... even fishermen noticed the weird redrawing of the sea HOURS prior to the tsunami. i am really stunned such a thing can still happen these days.
wonder what will happen if ever the theoretical mega monster tsunami of over 300 m will hit NYC and other big american cities (miami, boston).
