Tsunami is here again!

Hi zandi. After all that happened in the Philippines due to the killer storm I believe that only God has control in everything. Philippines is expecting another typhoon this week. The news of tsunami in Samoa which also killed hundreds was a shocking follow-up of all the tragedies happening around the world. Zandi, I lived in front of the beach and couple of months ago there was a tsunami alert which made me, my two young kids and hubby evacuate to my in-laws house five minutes after a friend rang us to tell us about the warning. I was so scared but managed not to panic because I needed to move really quick with two young kids I needed to carry in my car late at night while they were sleeping and a husband that has disability. Luckily, the tsunamis that were detected by the authorities were 'tiny' tsunamis that were harmless. We are very lucky. But with the tsunami that had just happened in Samoa, the authorities here are being very watchful in detecting any threat of tsunami. All we can do during these times is to pray and believe that God will save us and will have mercy on us.

Another island in my country (just your neighborhood) was hit by earthquake at 7.6 scale. Thanks God it didn't end up with tsunami. This is just after less than 1 month ago another earthquake hit southern Java. My country lies on the point that 4 of major earth plates meet and pushing each other. With 2 biggest ocean also surround it, tsunami often becomes a threat when earthquake occurs. Hopefully less disaster happens, and we're all human have just to be ready for our lives.

I have been seeing all those horrible pictures on the news of the horrible things that are happening in the phillipines & other places. It is a sad, sad thing. I sure hope it doesn't happen where u live, please be safe & take all the precautions u can. I live where there is no chance of flooding but they do predict that one day we will have a bad eartquake. I sure hope they are wrong.

That is correct, pal! Those countries located along the ring of fire in pacific ocean will have to face more severe under ocean seismic generated tsunami this season, it is better for them to prepare for the worst that had yet to come in the month ahead. Even the ice sheet in earth poles are rapidly disappeared due to some drastic climate changes are taking place in our world today, the earth can not take the abuse from men on mother nature forever without unleash its fury any more.

This is me just catching up I hope for heavens sake you and yours are safe.We have been watching it on the tv aid has arrived.I don't know what else to say except god go with you.

I think not only Asian, countries will affected in this result of climate change. Everywhere and every corner of the world, my friend. I'm sad to say that this is all the result of the fulfillment of prophecy in the bible that will happen to this last days... Our area is not prone of floods but as the disaster will not under estimated. Floods was done in the streets...Hope we can cope up the everything and stand again a new better life...Have a nice day!

SOmetimes floods IF it rains earthquakes we get several a day just dont feel them but can bring it up on a earthquake map. I feel so sad fo rthe poeple that are in the way of the tsunamis as mostly they have no where to go to get away from it!

I was really sad when hearing about these news but we can't really compare it to the scale of the tsunami of five years ago. I just hope that the damages are quickly fixed and that everyone gets their life running as naturally as before around there.

Hiya zandi. I just started a discussion because I've felt a tiny and slight tremor. It was a few seconds, but made me wonder for a bit because I rarely experience this kind of thing. I've read about the floods in Philippines and I really hope things will turn out alright. Evacuating would be the solution coming to my mind, but if most places are flooded, then that is really a cause of concern. If Tsumani is really here once more (and hopefully not), I don't know how it's going to be like. Let's pray for the best and hope the winds behave.

Hello zandi, I live in the Philippines. And you are right. There was a typhoon that caused a lot of flooding in our country. It was really a disaster. Many lives and property was lots. The Philippines, is a typhoon prone country, but what happened in last Sept 26 was really terrible. But I know we can surpass this trial in our lives and country. Do take care

We don’t have a great deal of earth quakes in Perth Western Australia; the last quake I recall would have been almost twenty years ago. We lived in Italy for the first ten years of my life and over there earth quakes were quite regular and we used to run down downstairs from out fifth floor apartment whenever one hit. Fortunately I did not experience any which caused serious damage. I am really sorry for the poor souls who have lost their lives during these natural disasters...

We get floods yesss,,not too much where I live,,but some areas,get it bad,,I have seen some people in real trouble,in the past,,SORRY to know what can happen to some of us

I live in Scotland and although the weather if often cold, rainy and windy we are lucky not to experience tsunamis, earthquakes, hurricanes or any severe natural disasters. I lived in Thailand for a while and I am very aware of how tragic and disastrous nature can be - it is only a few years since Thailand and other S E Asian countries suffered a giant tsunami

All should get prepared for it. work with the government to protect the citizens.

I have been hearing all about this on the bbc world service. Kinda scary that it's happening again, even if it's happening on some place totally different. It's scary what nature is capable of doing.

I live in Oregon USA and according to my son (the weatherman, Oregon coast saw higher waves from the earthquake. not sure if it was a Tsunami, but he said people on the coast should stay way from the water. I live inland more so i really dont have to worry about it. I am sorry to hear that your country has had so much bad luck with them. I wish you and well and do what you can to stay safe.

Hmm... Malaysia should be pretty sheltered from Tsunami, no? I am not sure. But the weather where I live is pretty much the same. A little more rain than usual compared to last year in the same period. A welcome change as the weather has been unusually hot of late. And the rains are a welcome rebate from the heat. Hmm... are there anything measure being taken by your town to handle the aftermath of a Tsunami? Is anything being done to reduce the effects of a Tsunami attack? (Is attack the right word to use? )

Yes, it is really very pathetic people suffering from the disastrous tsunamis. I saw the news on the TV and also on the websites. Another sad news today is the strong earth quake in Sumatra island, Indonesia. Th City of Padeng was strongly hit, causing a lot of damage in the City. That's very pathetic too. The earth quake wave went as far as Malaysia, it says.
