Reply #7: My thought on reading about storm surge was it was like tsunami also [View All]

The storm surge came on suddenly, raised the water level rapidly like a tsunami would. A "tsunami" comparison does in no way diminish the tragedy of the one last winter, but is a comparison to a tsunami. Realize that there were tsunamis before last yrs, have been since, even though they were not as devastating as that one.

Relax, his town was destroyed, many people dead, from a storm surge that was like a tsunami. Are you going to say we in the NW are "hopelessly self-obsessed" after a big earthquake kills many and destroys many towns because the "predicted phenomenon" was not as big or devastating as the one in Bam?
