The Earthquake Warning System Worked, But...!!

not much ya can do with 30 second warnings. JUst like we have warning systems up in Tenn for tornados butt eh one that hit our home in 91 the tornado came in UNDER the warning system and house were gone before the whistles went off. As our house went over a 100 foot blackjack tree and smashed under teh hill withtthe tree on top and my daughter and her newphew lay under that tree! So ya stil cant tell if warning sysems are all that good .

I have to say that I vote for the advance warning system. No only do I have family members living in earthquake territory,California, I have lived there myself and I have experienced minor and not so minor ones. Not everyone can live earthquake proof territories, so the warning system will definitely save many lives.

Surely the Earthquake Warning System worked. The cost of warning systems are indeed enormous but what if you are caught unaware? Will they ever be of help at all? Well I would like to caught this paragraph from an article I just read which is believe is true and relevant to your discussion. "What happened in Japan is beyond anyone’s expectation. How come a country as advanced as Japan could be devastated just like that in an instant? How almost helpless did their modern warning system become for there was very slim warning time left in such kind of earthquake that occurred very close to the coast? How could their earthquake proof buildings be places of refuge when the unstoppable force of the strong and massive waves had already taken over? How could the the people get fast to the inland and higher ground when there were no previous hints that all these would come in the blink of an eye? Every one on that fateful day was definitely caught unaware and only God’s miracle helped the others to survive."...

The cost of the single best very early warning system is zero!!! In every single earthquake & tsunami, there is this guy who monitors whale beachings & shark numbers around the world & informs governments in a very timely manner. He has never been wrong. He was right for the first ones near Africa & India, right for New Zealand & right for this one too. The governments have not learned to listen to international help yet. Many days before this last earthquake, whales were beaching & sharks had cleared the area... not one shark was there! It drives them absolutely nuts as the sounds mess up their sonar. I heard this on a radio interview this morning with the guy & I'm still going through the station to try & get a bead on him. I'll post it here when I find out more. No other system is worth a damn! It seems all our so-called solutions to all the world's crises are very costly & very inadequate. Keep an eye out for a natural disaster coming to your area via this link.

Yes, it is wise to pay attention to warning because it can save life. With the impending destruction of the wicked, the worldwide preaching of God's Kingdom by Jehovah's Witnesses serve as a warning before the end comes.

Countries like USA are very earthquake prone. So, apart from Japan it is worth taking that it may be very likely to cause earthquake in some other places. If more information is needed please tell me.

buenavida not unless it gives more warning than 3o seconds with an earthquake of that magnitude and a tsunami to boot moving 500 miles in seconds. If it gave a twenty or thirty minute warning than yes but with the blast of a tsunami it is too expensive. but in some places like here in California it might indeed work. It may be worth it but not in Japan at this time. the devastation shows it did not really help. it might have worked but they did not have any time to flee anywhere. so it did fail really.
