Asian Tsunami, Wow. . . Options

[My94RedCelica]

I'm sure by now you have probably heard about the tsunami that hit Asia. That's just insane. It's hard to even imagine 20 ft. waves crashing on the shore. . . Last I heard, the death count is up to 8,000 in six different countries. I just happen to check my email today and saw that and couldn't believe it. For those of you who don't really know how tsunamis work here's a quick synopsis. They are caused by earthquackes on the ocean floor. There was one that was an 8.9, the largest in 40 years. Just like dropping a rock in the center of water, it causes ripples. Those then turn into waves that hit the shore. Larger the earthquake, larger the ripples. When it first comes to shore, the shore line will draw in significantly, then the waves hit and brings the shore in. That's really the only warning that people get. It's a sad thing to see happen and definately one of the worst natural disasters.

I did not think the nuber was that high yet, but I checked out the news and it showed a bit of the coverage and damn

you know what's gana happen now right, the bodies that where sucked out to sea are gana float in all over the place, thats just sick, and horrible to think about.

I hope that prez. bush offers help to them or atleast money.

I was in a 6.9 a wile ago (durring school my jr. year, i think, natalie probibly remembers too)

it did not do much damage but 20 times that, not twise as much, but 20 times, that is crazy bad. I bet that it did a number on the sea life in the area.

And from what I have read that while the magnitude difference in your earth quake for example is 20 times, thats the actual energy put out is something like 60 times greater! pretty amazing stuff!
