It seems now that scientists think the Caribbean is next in line for a disaster the likes of the one that struck southeast Asia! 
Caribbean tsunami
Thoughts?

Ah and this is just like the earthquake that will hit the Mississippi river again. Can it happen yes, but what are the chances?? If we worry about this then we might as well stay in our house under our covers for the rest of our life.
I will say we need a warning system in the Atlantic and Caribbean. Because the chance is there. |

Yes I'd say this is precisely the point!

My uni is quite near the beach, enough to feel the tremours and sufficed to cause the buildings; libraries, admin block, academic block all to crack in several places.
Nothing too serious tho, so our routine wasn't disrupted or anything.
The tidal wave (one level removed from tsunami, fortunately for Malaysians (unfortunately for them) Sumatera/Aceh took most of the brunt force. The victims in Malaysia are well taken care of, but they're still living in school buildings, government's still trying to find new settlement to place them in. RM1k are being given to each survivor (family/victim not sure), and more are pouring in from the whole nation.
Methinks you can checkout the news for more info in donations and stuff, we have sent volunteers at Aceh too. Horrible mess, the place. Rotting bodies everywhere.
And my uni kept sending volunteers on almost a daily basis after classes to help out those people affected at the beach.
They're still arguing about the Indian Ocean warning system.
My personal opinion is that there should be warning systems all over the continents/landmass that's near the Ring of Fire or anywhere near the borders of them plates. Better safe than dead, eh?
