Expanded Tsunami Warning System Coming
http://www.boston.com/news/nation/ar...arning_system/
''The risk for the Caribbean is so real that we need to put [a detection system] in there right now," said Jian Lin, a marine geophysicist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Two days before the massive tsunami, he published a paper warning that the Caribbean was at great risk for a major earthquake and possible tsunami over the next 50 years, after examining fault zones in the Dominican Republic and off the shore of Puerto Rico that could cause quakes.''The risk for the Caribbean is so real that we need to put [a detection system] in there right now," said Jian Lin, a marine geophysicist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.

Thanks, Chris, for one more thing to worry about. Maybe I should move back on my boat.

Yes, I'm with you... Lately it seems as if the real world is intruding on our peaceful island existence... Sometimes it is better not to know

What me worry???
Folks,
The fault lines are so close to the island, a tsunami warning system for us is about as useful as tits on a bull. Sit back and relax, the media does this to us to get us uptight, and delightfully make advertising dollars on our fears.
Whatever happens, happens, I say. You're a terminal case from the day your are born. So, when the time presents itself, you survive or die well. Don't become fodder for the "Chicken Littles" (the sky is falling) of life. Be kool, be prepared, and live well.
Regards,
PJT

When your number is called there is no escaping it, not even to a safe place as Conchita California where a land slide that just happend claimed the life of about a dozen. We can only run but we can't hide.

If it's not Tsunamis------
Earthquakes, Floods, Asteroid Strikes, H-Bombs, Terrorists, Drive-by Shootings, ETC., ETC., ETC., What else can we worry ourselves silly about??? HMMMMMMM???
Might as well dig a deep hole, climb in and pull it in after us for all we can do about it.
Life is life is life!!! Live day to day, pay your bills on time, go to church regularly, don't cheat on your wife or girlfriend, be honest in your dealings with others and QUIT WHINING ABOUT THAT OVER WHICH YOU HAVE NO CONTROL!!!
Just a mental s*** !!

Not this BS again! Thought I closed this thread before because of such silliness. Guess the server crisis undid that somehow. Well, consider it re-done!
