I agree, even if there was only an hour warning in the affected countries, could have reduced the number of tragic casualties by half. People could have been evacuated off the beaches, at least taken some form of shelter. I am not saying that casualties could have been avoided, but with a warning system, i recon that the figure could have been down to a count of 15 000, if not less.

I am also hoping that there wont be any serious aftershocks, or any more earthquakes

I also agree that this is one of the nicest forums with the most cosy athmospheres <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Your existence alone, is excuse enough for the creation of the entire universe… Il you my darling Jeanne-Dré 
