Im sorry, but I disagree. I live in Malaysia and I travel to both Phuket and Penang several times a year and am very familar with the beaches in both places.
While a 90 minute warning would not have cleared everyone, it would have cleared many and saved many lives.

I can't speak for the folks at Phuket, but I was at the beach in Mexico when this earthquake occurred. Had a similar warning been sent to Mexico City, I am sure it would have gotten to us at the beach by next weekend.
