The loss of 40,000 people so far is horrible, but I think it's even more horrible that these people did not have a warning in advance. The Tsunami that hit the coast was generated in the ocean several hours before it reached land, and it was moving 500mph by the time it hit the land. Most countries would have picked up the giant wave, and evacuated the coast. Thousands of lives would have been saved had the coast been evacuated, just an hour or two before the Tsunami hit.

But, it's just like Florida. If you live on The Ring Of Fire, or below Mt. St. Helens, don't be surprised if mother nature throws a curve ball in your direction. It's just like what I say about Florida: "You can build your houses back up next year, but don't be surprised or complaining after next hurricane season."

Hopefully someone gets the latest technology down there, so a tragedy like this never happens again. =/
