While the predicted onslaught is nothing compared with the tsunami that ravaged South Asia...

So, if I am to understand these scientists correctly, they are saying that some nasty rainstorms will differ in significant ways from an earthquake and subsequent tsunamis?

I wonder why they didn't let us know if the rain storms will be different than a forest fire, which has exactly as much in common with rainstorms as earthquakes do.

Nah, more likely this piece of wisdom was written by some 24 year old Journalism major, eager to get his/her work noticed by some higher up editor. The news gathering/gatekeeping profession has oftimes turned into a ridiculous circus of young kids practicing their politics at their job.
