I've been literally kept up at night watching the coverage. You'd have to think that after at least one tsunami hit land minutes after the quake that someone would have picked up the phone and somehow gotten the word to other countries to be on alert. I realize the technological limitations that, had they been present, might have triggered alarms, but I'm simply referring to attempts to alert anyone by any means. The part that got my attention was that a magnitude 9 earthquake is like the release of a million atomic bombs similar to what the US dropped on Japan. Given the lack of tsunami history of the places that got hit, given the fact California is prime earthquake territory, and given the fact that the 1964 Alaska magnitude 8.4 quake produced a tsunami, anyone along the west coast should be very concerned. - Jeff
