Thank you for posting the info about Dodge. I read specifically that Diego Garcia had no problems with the tsunami.
Agreed that the MSM is not a viable source for linking the dots. I would have thought that after the 9.2 in Alaska, although there was no major loss of life due to the sparce population, there would have been more effort than a warning system as a result. Of course, NOAA was remapping the ocean floor there into the 80s.
I hope that this event produces more than that warning system's overdue completion. To think that some of these folks could have been asleep on the beach or in their beds because they had no warning is truly shameful.
The Times of India said one reason a warning system was not in place is that with India's huge population [over 1 billion people], losing a few people to such an event was acceptable.
