Earthquakes and Tsunamis

I feel ashamed.

As someone who has spent a lifetime in computing, where was the warning system? All of the mathematics have been known for thirty years. In fact my software was used by the old Water Resources Board to plot floods and water flows in 1972!

It took three hours for the tidal wave to run from Indonesia to Sri Lanka. Surely, those that spotted the initial quake and then got the reports from Phuket should have been able to predict that there would be damage elsewhere.

It just proves yet again that the war on terror is just a diversion. Nature has always been mankind's most ferocious enemy.
