"The world has suffered 3 tsunamis in 13 months" The article coninuously states that a major problem is that we keep on focusin on past tsunamis and not on finding a way to prevent tsunamis if possible. The U.S has great technology to identify things. however many islands and other countries do not, influlencing disaster. Tsunami floods can move at speeds exceeding 15mph. People who don’t evacuate on time may be fighting for their lives while perched on trees or moving logs. This is starting to became a fear to people and hopefully this will spark the need for better technology and better precaution.
