Oh no! Start making a plan in case you have to leave quicky

NOAA is not issuing yet, but that Dr. on MSNBC said that they should at least put the west coast on a watch... I don't think we will get anything big maybe just a few inches or a foot. Guess I won't be sleeping tonight...

Here is large police boat that I took a photo of that was pushed over a mile away from shore near Phuket. They left it there as a memorial

I hope and pray they have better emergency response programs than we have here.

Katrina pushed casino barges and cruise ships across hwy 90 so far inland they could not move them afterwards. One is a souvenier shop now, very creepy.

by Quiethawk Fri Mar 11, 2011 4:08 am

Has to be better than what we got. I am so sorry if this is bringing flash backs for you N2B.....

by Quiethawk Fri Mar 11, 2011 4:10 am

Wonder if US has offered help????

by Guest Fri Mar 11, 2011 4:12 am

My family survived Katrina. Every single blood relative had major damage or total loss of home, but we all survived. We were lucky.

But everyone in the area is forever damaged............can't explain it-just damaged.

When the country you love and defend lets you down during a time like that it leaves a mark on the soul.

Not being sarcastic but the US would never respond quickly enough to help, IMO.

by Guest Fri Mar 11, 2011 4:17 am

It's so very sad.... Was wild to watch the tsunami move...

MSNBC said the underground subways were packed and those people had no warning at all
