recall15 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 the interesting part is that: first "they" downgraded the magnitude of the (eq) Then the event Generate a Tsunami! and "they" Upgraded the (eq) that the way "the cover up" is "Falling to Pieces" But The Warning Tsunami System Fail! Quoted: Rocked by dozens of aftershocks from the undersea earthquake that triggered a deadly tsunami, people in Samoa, American Samoa and Tonga today began the tasks of cleaning up and counting their dead. The death toll so far is 149, many having been unable to escape the wall of water up to 9 metres high. According to eyewitness reports from Samoa, four giant walls of water struck the island over a 20-minute period, flattening villages, shattering holiday resorts, scattering boats and cars, felling trees and spreading mud for several miles inland. end quoted from: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/oct/01/samoa-tsunami-warning-system-survivors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
servantx Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 India floods leave 2.5 million homeless, 250 dead http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20091005/ts_nm/us_india_flood Mon Oct 5, 2:41 pm ET HYDERABAD, India (Reuters) – Rescue workers used sandbags to stop a raging river from breaching its embankment near a southern Indian city on Monday as floods triggered by heavy rains over the last week left 2.5 million people homeless. The flooding, described by officials as the worst in many decades in south India, has killed some 250 people, mostly in the states of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. At least five million people are crammed in temporary government shelters. Flood waters swamped millions of acres of cropland, including sugarcane plantations, prompting worries of a fall in sugar output in Karnataka, the country's third-biggest producer. Traders also estimated the flooding would hit corn output by at least one million tonnes in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, which account for about 35 percent of India's total corn production. Officials said 300,000 heavy sandbags were being used to fortify weakening embankments of the Krishna river that flows close to Vijayawada, a city of about a million people in Andhra Pradesh and an important trading center. Rescue workers also moved more than 200,000 people living close to the river. An alert had been sounded in about 100 villages situated along the Krishna.
