Jay, such a terrible tragedy. I hope the affected countries can set up a system like ours to help lessen the impact of future tsunamis... West Coast & Alaska Tsunami Warning Center wcatwc.arh.noaa.gov -Snow

Entire island of Sumatra has moved about 100 feet to the SouthWest. I am understanding that the waves were not conventional waves, but were miles long and represented a rise in water levels exteneding over minutes. Excellent first person article by a reporter who was swiming off the beach near Sri Lanka when the water came in.... washingtonpost.com

I, like you love S. E. Asia, (SEA) and I feel sorry for the locals and for the Farangs and Bules who, like us, like to be with them when having free time to spend. Because they are fun, make good food and the girls are pretty and kind. Last Xmas we spent in Hua Hin which way northern and is inside the Gulf of Thailand like Koh Samui. If we'd be in SEA we most likely would be on the coast since we like Xmas close to the sea. Luckly we were in the southern Atlantic. But they will rebuild and we Farangs and Bules will go there once again, nature is tough in the edge of a tectonic plate, and there's nothing we can do about it.

Jay, on tsunamis. This one was trivial. A mere warning of what's coming due to tsunami from meteroid/bolide/comet/meteorite/incoming impact on atmosphere and ocean. Message 19854617 Message 20220905 Greenhouse effect sea-level rise is trivial compared with tsunami: Message 20049447 Sea level rises, and the greenhouse effect, yawn: Message 20121404 Adapting to sea level rises [it's easier if the water comes in over 50 years] Message 20139800 It doesn't. Currency tsunami: Message 20053614 Goodbye US$. Cheap land for sale around India, Sri Lanka, Phuket. Goodbye Los Angeles. Cheap land to be for sale there: Message 20100995 A bigger tsunami is right now in process around the world: Human tsunami: Message 20187437 Cyberspace tsunami: Message 20863040 The risks, "I'd say lifetime risk for Americans is greater from meteors and chicken flu than from AlQ." Message 19831883 Yep, as you say, tsunamis have been well-covered in BBR [The Great Financial Collapse of 2001 - gee, that's a long time ago now, so I suppose the Rapture must be due any time now - it wasn't in October, the last call].
