Tsunami. One of natures most frightening, awesome and devastating entities. I find them facinating. Imagine living somwhere where one could hit at anytime and destroy and wash away all life and property? The Energy of a tsunami is constant, a function of its height and speed. Thus, as the wave approaches land, its height increases while its speed decreases. Then it hits. With such power and force.
This day September 18th 1906 a tsunami hit Hong Kong and killed Ten Thousand people. A huge loss of life. Still no effective warning system has been made that can predict when one of these monster waves will hit next.
