Re: Tsunami [OT]
The final toll based on what i have heard seen may never really be known, given the part of the world the event occured and it's scale.
As for the china quake, wasn't that quake that china found out their technique for predicting quakes was useless? or was that back in the 60'S
the Sumatra quake is the 4th largest in 40 years, 9.0. chile had the largest at 9.5 the Alaska quake in 67(?)was a 9.2 and triggerred tsunami' that killed poeple in
Hawaii, California and possibly Japan, its what lead to the warning system in the pacific, ironically Thailand is a memeber of that, for their east coast. the threat of tsunamis in the indian ocean is considered very low, consequently, given the price tag for an early warning system, it's very low in the area's list of priorities.
