Maybe this time they'll have some warning to head to higher ground.

Quick, get all the US-owned hardware back onto the C-130's and chill for an hour or so!

I have a feeling that they have even less infrastructure available to do that now than they did before all thier roads and such were swept away by the last one.

 

[Analog]

Wow.

 

[EyeMWing]

Look at it this way, fatalities will be lower.

 

[Baked]

Well, there goes the eleventy billion dollars people donated for the last tsunami relief.

don't fuel evangelicals any more than they have already been with the first tsunami.

 

[Accipiter22]

well just because it's on the same fault line doesn't mean there'll be another tsunami
