just wondering...does anyone know if these early warning systems are really expensive?
1)The US Pacific coastline is protected by the string of detectors on the Pacific floor, installed and designed to specifically detect earthquakes and the ensuing tsunami phenomenon;
(2)The US Pacific coastline has high ground very close to the shore, whereas the tens of thousands killed in the Indian Ocean were in densely populated areas at or even below sea level.
:werd:
also, the continental US isnt near any major underwater fault.
