We need to watch our animals more closely. It seems the animals had a sixth sense about the coming disaster and fled to higher ground before the tsanami hit the beaches. They reported very small animal causualties. I've heard about strange behaviors of animals before earthquakes as well. Debbie

It's a whole different scale. Honolulu might have problems, but the rest of the cities are relatively small, so you'd stand a decent chance of moving the population with a few hours' notice. You don't have to go too far in most cases to pick up sufficient altitude. And of course there's a reasonable amount of civic planning, training and drills.
But those warning sirens/stations... it seems to me that if the Pacific Coast has all of 6 hours warning (not sure how much time they would have though), there would be mass hysteria, and the coastal cities are so huge, that evacuation wouldn't reasonably happen. Cyn
