HAHA! First they tell us A Tsumami is coming, then they tell us there is no Tsumami. Meanwhile alarms and sirens are going off in the coastal towns and telling people to go to higher ground. They were evacuating some of these towns. They need to get their stories straight before they issue such a warning because all that happened last night was confusion they generated. The media played this Tsumami Warning to it's height too. I'm just glad it didn't happen.

i know this is off topic, but 1mangang, have you ever visited egypt?
Posted by 1mangang (Member # 6403) on :
i think the issue is that there is a possibility so people should take cover 'cuz one sometimes prompts more to come.
no never been to egypt

It is better to be safe than sorry. I do think next time it will be more organized and better executed. Now off the topic 1mangang: Do you have a desire to go to Egypt one day? It's truly an incredible place.
