It looks like the “Google” boat was grounded.
**********************************EXCERPT****************************
Victims of the tsunami that swept across the South Pacific had only minutes to escape the deadly waves and in some cases didn't receive alerts of danger, despite years of work to upgrade early-warning systems across the region.
At least 99 people were killed and dozens left missing by the tsunami, which inundated tourist resorts and local villages after a massive 8.0-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Samoa early Tuesday morning local time. Disaster authorities warned the death toll could rise significantly over the next few days as the full scale of the disaster – much of which occurred in remote areas – is assessed.
Somebody is bound to say...”See? More evidence of global warming!”
Did President Obama EVER acknowledge that Georgia has had major floods and that he’s going to fly down there in support of the citizens suffering from these terrible floods?? I haven’t seen or heard any mention of this on the news reports, but maybe he’s trying to stay in the background so he doesn’t distract from recovery efforts...
Yeah, right. This fellow can’t stand for a day to go by unless he’s in front of a camera!
Slides include pictures from other areas than just Samoa....
Bummer.
I don’t know what kind of “early warning system” will help when the earthquake is just miles from shore.
