What's happening in your part of the world?: The Hawaii Situation

» biogardener - The Hawaii Situation

The Hawaii situation reminds me of that in SE Asia. Scientists from all over the world warned that a tsunami was imminent in the area. Some even predicted the time with great accuracy, including one Univerity of Manitoba professor who passed his findings on to scientists in Taiwan, but they were unable to get their government to respond to the warning. Governments do not like to make announcements which might keep tourists away. At least they could have informed their own people on how to react in tsunamis in general.

I hope that Hawaiians are taught how to get to safety in case of eruptions. After all, they have happened there before.
