Eartquake/ Tsunami

My thoughts and prayers goes out to the people hurt by the forces of nature. I have an aunt from Philipines and I worry about her family.

I went to Thailand this last summer, and we visited Phuket were the last big Tsunami was. The thing which struck me back the is how far you have to go to be safe from the Tsunami.

I saw signs like this everywhere

As you can see you have to go 2 km to be safe. When you have to go that far it's obvious that an early warning matters a lot.
