i wouldn't recommend swimming in nature right now. a lot of debris was blown all over the place, and they're still cleaning it up. you could get hurt badly by something submerged under the water, like metal or a broken board, glass, etc.

The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, which had a magnitude of 9.15, triggered a series of lethal tsunamis on  December 26, 2004 that killed approximately 230,000 people (including 168,000 in Indonesia alone), making it the deadliest tsunami in recorded history.[7] The tsunami killed people over an area ranging from the immediate vicinity of the quake in Indonesia, Thailand and the north-western coast of Malaysia to thousands of kilometres away in Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, and even as far as Somalia, Kenya and Tanzania in eastern Africa. The disaster prompted a huge worldwide effort to help victims of the tragedy, with billions of dollars being raised for disaster relief.\n\nUnlike in the Pacific Ocean, there was no organized alert service covering the Indian Ocean. This was in part due to the absence of major tsunami events between 1883 (the Krakatoa eruption, which killed 36,000 people) and 2004. In light of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, UNESCO and other world bodies have called for a global tsunami monitoring system.

not necessarily means if someone get drown in an event like that the rest should follow... it is better for the rest to dive for thier drowned co-player and raised her up like a trophy then it would make sense...

He accidentally killed himself.  He was an inexperienced pilot and while piloting a plane with his wife and sister-in-law on board, he crashed.  The crash resulted in the death of all.  It was a hazy night and he crashed into the Atlantic ocean.

It is my belief, that tsunamis are formed when Posiedon, the Greek God of the Oceans, becomes angry with the people of the world.  He thus claps his hands and sends forth a giant wave to flex his godly might and show us mortals of his infinate powers, over the sea.

tsunami is mainly caused by the fault caused in the interior of the earth in the sea bed, coz of which the water gets charged up! its sumthing like whn we put sumthing in the glass of water & the water forms ripples!this is in a glass of water, imagine,in the ocean or sea full of water! one ripple causes many to go ahead! this is how tsunami takes place! first effect, the level of water rises & captures the land & the shore where it strikes is all together devastated,eg. nagapattinam coast! second, once a tsunami is caused, it will take place in other forms all over the world. coz the land displaced in the sea bed will have to get a flat shape..till thn itll cause other floors of earth to get displaced as wel1! its an ongoin phenomena, sumtimes itll take shape into destruction, other times it will not! we can just monitor thm , but cannot stop thm coz its nature after all! nobody can control thm!

Hi - I put your question on my watch list because I wanted to answer it when I had enough time to really answer. In quickly scanning the answers you've received thus far, I can tell that my experience (s) may be quite different than them. On the other hand, when something has truly happened to a person along this line, sharing it is very difficult. It is an extremely unforgettable experience and one that is, I think, meant to be treasured and held in one's "heart", so to speak. Have you had an "angel experience" yourself? If the answer is a yes, you will no doubt understand my reticence in answering this with as much vivid detail as I could. There have been some incredibly wonderful people I've "met" through this answer forum, but I don't know you...and that said, I will go ahead and recount a bit of what I have experienced personally, and relate one additional story to you, as well.\n\nStory # 1: My brother's encounter: Technically, this involves both of my brothers...so, take it for what it is - a fond but quiet memory in our family. (Angel experiences are not easy things to talk about.) My family was vacationing in Miami one summer, and my two brothers (age 13 and 12 at the time) were out swimming early in the morning on an empty beach. The waters were very rough, and the older brother, usually the more sensible and certainly less of a risk-taker, cautioned the younger brother (a hellion, so to speak...) not to go out too far. Both have always been excellent swimmers and even California surfer-types, so the younger brother wasn't about to be deterred. Anyway, the waters were indeed far rougher than our usually placid Pacific ocean waves...and he was caught in an undertow and literally wasn't able to breathe. Of course, his life "flashed before his eyes" and the whole thing that we always hear about. The older brother didn't know what to do - he knew if he went out to help, he'd drown...he started calling for help, but as it was about six in the morning, there was not one single person in sight. He was standing with his back facing the ocean, looking for someone, anyone. In the meantime, the younger brother SWEARS (and he's not a religious, weird person by any means) that suddenly a very strong, huge young man picked him up, carried him to shore and deposited him gently on the sand. The older brother turned around, and was shocked, relieved to see our youngest brother standing there, shivering, scared out of his mind, etc. But he never saw a single person, much less this huge gentle giant that the youngest saw. My youngest brother looked around to try to thank someone, but there was nobody there...just a freezing, overcast beach and a howling ocean.\n\nStory #2: I had a definite experience just over a year ago, and as I'm sitting here thinking about how to begin, I think I'm just not ready to talk about it yet. Suffice it to say, I was in extreme need, and an angelic being (a young man, again, around 19 or so - saved my life. I can tell you that the feeling was one of pure peace and a kind of joy that I've never felt before. And, again, the whole thing: he disappeared just when I wanted to thank him, etc. \n\nSome of the facts about angels is that they do it to bring praise to God, and I hope my sincerity comes through when I can promise you that that is true. There are angels, for sure. They are all around us, helping in times of extraordinary circumstances - life/death, illness, danger, etc. It isn't scary or weird when it happens to you, either. It feels like the most normal "abnormal" thing in the world. And when it's real, it doesn't make a lot of sense to talk endlessly about it. How can a person describe such an intimate sort of encounter? Let's face it - the world doesn't exactly encourage this kind of "sharing", does it? \n\nOne more thing - about 20 years ago I went through a time of q

A tsunami is a wave that is not cause by normal wind/tidal action.\n\nThe height of a tsunami will decrease with distance from the source that caused it, often an underwater earthquake or landslide, and so can range in height from many metres to no more than a ripple. It also depends on how large a volume of water was displaced at the event - small displacement = small wave and vice versa.\n\nFor example, though you may have a strong earthquake under the sea, it may be deep enough not to shift the surface of the sea bed by much, and so any tsunami produced would be small.\n\nSo you can't really say that a small wave isn't a tsunami. It's just that the big ones are the only ones that hit the headlines. Even the name does not allude to size, it roughly translates as "harbour wave" due to the fact that the wave is often not visible until close to shore as the depth of water decreases, forcing the wave to appear.

Tsunamis can be caused in more than one way.\n\n1) earthquakes under the see floor which displace the sea floor, lifting the water.  Max height is about 30 feet.  This is what happened in the Indian Ocean a year ago.\n\n2) land slides.  In 1958, an earthquake triggered a landslide in Lituya Bay that generated a wave splash of 1900 feet.\n\n3) volcanic eruptions.  The greek island of Santorini erupted creating a tsunami of 100m to 150m  that is believed to be the cause for the destruction of the Minoans.  The event is believed to be the source of the Atlantis myths.

Yes.  Any coastline has a chance of getting hit with a tsunami because the waves are created by underwater displacement and can be propagated around the world.

Higashinada area was damaged more than other area.\nVisit web sites bellow,you can find more information.

I would think it would be a case by case basis. If it was a small lake and they searched the area thoroughly and found nothing then... why would they search it again? If it was the ocean, which is so vast... then he would have been drawn out to sea and nearly impossible to find his body. \n\nSince they already knew the man drowned, then it would be different if they thought there was a chance he was still alive. \n\nIt also depends on how much media coverage there is. If the news had it on, they would have kept searching so they could look like heroes.

Yes,their aircraft carrier ran aground in hurricane Katrina near Tex-Mex border.Thousands were walking back to Panama beach to catch ride w/sub but some were separated from the group and wound up getting trashed in matamoros during spring break.My sister danced with one of them.They were a trip.

Yes Not only NewYork but a lot of countries will loose its lands to killer waves. Miami which was built on the ashes of an valcono will be submerged and a lot of south east asian countries also will be destroyed by these waves. This is happening because of the melting of ice in artic, antartic ice selves. \n\nThis raises the water level and all the low level places will submerge

The last years Tsunami was cause by the 2 plates breaking underneath the Phi Phi islands @ 8 15am. It caused the ground to rise up to 40 feet for 750 miles, which cause an earthquake of 9.5 on the scale. They are predicting that the next country to be hit with a Tsunami is Samaliya. And US is next... Oregon, Washington and all NW states, BEWARE. \nAMERICA'S TSUNAMI, ARE WE NEXT? When they cannot predict, however, they say it might be in the next 1000 years or it might happen tommorow.\nThe funny thing is that they said the break in the plates occured in the Indian ocean. They first checked for landslides, found none, no proof that any has occured in the last 10 years.
