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.  AMERICA'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.

Obviously it was one of the greatest and more damaging natural dis tasters in modern history. It decimated local populations and devastated local industries such as tourism, fishing, etc. You can do a Yahoo! search for "Tsunami video" and you will get a physical look at what it actually looked liked coming in from the sea.

Why don't you post your question on some Thai boards. I was stationed in  Asia in the 70's and my wife is from Khorat. My understanding is that the Records center had a major fire and lost alot of records in the late 60's. BTW my memory is of Khorat having USMC and AF. \n\nAlot of former military now live in Udon Thani, Nong Khai and Khorat. try your post on pattayasecrets.com or other Thai board were Americans and ex military post.

Siam is the correct answer.  Think of the movie called something like "Anna and the King of Siam" - Siam was what is Thailand today.

The USGS lists this earthquake as the 6th most destructive earthquake in terms of lives lost that is on record in the world. You may also find this by using the province name of  Tsinghai. Alternate spellings are: (Wade-Giles)  Ch'ing-hai,  (Pinyin)  Qinghai. Also, most search engines combine the name into one word, Nanshan. These varied spellings of Chinese in English are maddening when searching for information. You might do better searching in Chinese if possible.\n\nHere is a list of Chinese search engines, including Google China, Yahoo China, and Baidu. \nhttp://www.searchenginecolossus.com/China.html\n\nHere's one academic article in Chinese that I found:\nhttp://www.wanfangdata.com.cn/qikan/periodical.Articles/zgdz/zgdz2004/0404/040405.htm\n\n\nHere is the listing on US Geological Survey:\nhttp://earthquake.usgs.gov/regional/world/most_destructive.php\nHere is a page on USGS that lists most of the major earthquakes for comparison:\nhttp://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/top10.php\n\nI found a few vague references on china.org.cn at:\nhttp://service.china.org.cn/link/wcm/Search_Qry_E.Run_Query?p_qry=earthquake+1927\n\nThis is a tough one. I tried one major University library and didn't find much I liked. You can search most major libraries online, for example:\nThe University of Texas\nhttp://utdirect.utexas.edu/lib/utnetcat/\nThe University of California Los Angeles\nhttp://www2.library.ucla.edu/\nThe University of Southern California\nhttp://www.sc.edu/library/catalog/\nIf you find something that looks like it might be helpful you can go to a public library and request an interlibrary loan. \n\nGood luck.

G'day bb,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nThere are tsunami warning systems in place consisting of sensors to detect a tsunami and communications to warn those in harms way. A warning system has been in place since 1967 in the Pacific.\n\nUnfortunately, a similar system wasn't put in place in the Indian Ocean until after the Boxing Day tsunami in 2004 with moves now being made to set up such a system. No system can help if the earthquake causing the tsunami occurs just offshore as in the Hokkaido tsunami of 1993 when the tsunami hit no more than five minutes after the earthquake\n\nI have attached sources for your reference.\n\nRegards

a tsunami is caused by an earthquake deep in the ocean, and a hurricane is like a big tornato, thus meaning when hot and cold air meet, they swirl over the ocean and make a hurricane. \nhope i was of help!\nHappy Holidays, -creaive:)

It's nothing to do with the moon. When any wave reaches the shore, it slows down, piles up higher and higher, and if you observe carefully you will see it draws some of the water in front of it backwards to help fill the wave crest before it breaks. The same thing happens on a very much larger scale in a tsunami. The "tide goes out", then comes back with a vengeance. Since tsunamis can consist of more than one wave, this out-in cycle may repeat a few times.
