all4tribal1414779019 Posted December 26 Report Share Posted December 26 An earthquake of epic power struck deep beneath the Indian Ocean, unleashing 20-foot walls of water that came crashing down on beaches in seven Asian countries across thousands of miles, smashing seaside resorts and villages and leaving nearly 25,000 dead in their wake.www.abcnews.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest swirlundergrounder Posted December 27 Report Share Posted December 27 This is freakin horrible. If a tidal wave hit Miami we would all be done because Miami so flat. There's a volcanic chain of islands off the coast of africa in the Atlantic and if one of the volcano's were to erupt and lose one face of the mountain side, the shelf would collapse into the ocean and cause a massive tidal wave that could wipe out the entire bottom half of the east coast if the tsunami hit us.....

all4tribal1414779019 Posted December 27 Author Report Share Posted December 27 The number has gonne up to over 12k now...ive been following this since yesterday evening.Part of an article...''the beach and the area behind it had become an inland sea, rushing over the road and pouring into the flimsy houses on the other side. The speed with which it all happened seemed like a scene from the Bible - a natural phenomenon unlike anything I had experienced before.''

Guest swirlundergrounder Posted December 27 Report Share Posted December 27 Why do bad things happen to poor old countries like them..? It's horrible...Phuket Thailand a popular beach resort that amounts to about half of Thailands $10 billion dollar tourist industry was hit hard and that place is like a resort I guess..Plus when you see chaos and destruction like that on the news, it makes a nice area look poor......I'm sure most of those places are very scenic and exotic....
