I would love to go to Sri-Lanka for my holidays, but a thought of tsunami still bothers me.

Probably 100%. Its hard to determine this because nature is so unpredictable and if it could be determined, trust me, some scientist would have figured it out already. Nature kinda does what it wants to so its a chance you'll have to take. I dont know where you stay now, but with the whole global warming thats going on, its very possible that a natural disaster can occure there. There is no way of knowing.

this is interesting. sometimes, i think if i'd still make it in one piece. or would it be the same safe trip i'd had in years. but mostof the time, i close my eyes and say a prayer for it to be a safe trip that all the other passengers would enjoy.

This is one reason why I want to get out of the country.

Maybe not quite the answer you want....... but you should consider going to Thailand (opposed to Miami) as they have more trash than they know what to do with, or can manage.\n\nMiami on the other hand is very pristine!

My mom has been there...she really liked it, said it's the most beautiful place she's been too...but hard lifestyle if you're living there. As a tourist it sounds fantastic! Be sure to try all the fruit, she talks about Sri Lankan fuit all the time.

I'm an old timer who got interested in Sri Lank forty years ago. I was fascinated by the Kandy Empire, the legend of Adam's peak, the singing shellfish at Lake Batticaloa, the construction of the ancient tanks among many other things. I read a book that I still find interesting called "Jungle Tide". I forget the author's name but he must have written it during the British occupation as he was English. I am sure there are many other fascinating archaeological and educational opportunities in your country, which, I regret, I never did visit. Still, after 40 years, my interest has been retained by what I read. My very best wishes with your project.

I am sorry to hear of the loss of your son.\n\n"Thoughts of death", is something distinct from "suicidal ideation."\n\nThoughts of death does not have to mean that you will go ahead and plan a suicide.\n\nTo use an analogy, thoughts of taking a cruise holiday and daydreaming about it is not the same as deciding to save up for the ticket, going to apply for a passport, buying cloths and packing your bag.\n\nIn your case, while it is true that one can lead to the other, it does not have to be that way.\n\nI would seek out support from those you feel comfortable talking to about this...family or friends, and then I would compliment that support by seeking out a trained counselor, therapist, or even your local GP...all of whom can assist you in understanding these thoughts, and not being fearful that they mean something that they dont, or that they mean you are not in control of your life.\n\nGood Luck\n\nJimmy

I know exactly how you feel. I have the same problem.  I even think about waking up for the cremation and feeling the heat.  Maybe these situations are what hell is.  Then when I began to have faith in the Lord, I now want to be cremated because I can't afford to be buried. My boyfriend would go broke and lose our house.  I think about things like that.  I don't want to be a burden on anyone.....)(

I don't think so. You should go... Australia is my dream land. I hope some day I'll be able to go there too.

Yes, it's nearly certain there will be an earthquake in Indonesia this year -- there are hundreds of them there every year!  Most of them are too small to be felt, however.\n\nNobody can predict the things you ask for, though.  Not scientifically or any other way.  Sorry, you'll have to wait and see if there's a "big one" this year like the rest of us.

My thoughts:  The Lord is giving this earth one last chance to rectify its wrongs...this last "round" of repentance may be supported by supernatural events which put the fear of God in people who repent.  We have already had the sea and the waves roaring with the tsunami and the huge hurricanes...it is possible that the strange weather patterns we see with tornados, earthquakes, hurricanes and tsunamis are not just due to the "ozone" but due to God's finger moving the earth out of its natural rotation to shake the earth.\n\nThe Lord's return is imminent...I am 55 years old. I was planning to retire at age 60. When I asked him about my retirement, he told me "You will not be here...." I will be 56 this year. That gives me less than 4 years left on this earth...my sense is that more terrorism will occur,and natural disasters will increase. People will be crying out to God for the last time before his return.  Some people will never turn to him and they will be lost....so when the diasters occur, realize that the Lord has picked those people in those areas for repentance, and to go in and minister/witness his love and mercy to them and pray for their salvation.\n\n\nJoe 2:10 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining: \n\nAmo 8:9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day: \n\nLuk 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; \n\nMat 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

I am sorry to say that you have a wrong perception. Just come and visit the India and know the reality.

far less likely to get an earthquake or tsunami because the location and size of faults in our area however there is a NASTY continental slope and shelf on the east coast that i can assure you if we were to get a large enough earthquake or subsurface landslide in the right place the northeastern U.S. would be in for one HELL of a tsunami. I had to study underwater physics and underwater topography for my job in the navy so i'm not just a doom sayer I do have a good idea what i'm talking about.

The word Tsunami is Japanese and they been hit a number of times over their history. As for what would happen if hit today, it would depend on where got hit. If not one of the industrial or commercial centers such as Tokyo, etc.... their would be loss of life and a number of ill effects but Japan would survive. If it his one of these major areas.... their would be a major disruption of trade and the economy could become unstable, this would also affect the stock markets not only in Japan but everywhere else in the world, since Japanese goods are exported everywhere including the United States.
