If You See a Tsunami, Never Do Certain Things!

Показать описание
A tsunami is a string of immense waves that appear after earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, underwater landslides, and even asteroid impacts. The largest mega-tsunami wave ever recorded was documented on July 9, 1958, in Lituya Bay, in Alaska. The height of the wave reached a stunning 1,720 ft.

This situation is no joke, and as soon as you find out that a tsunami is coming, you must act immediately to save your life. Here’s what you need to do right away.

SUMMARY:
- The water may suddenly drain, showing the ocean floor, or, vice versa, a wall of water may appear on the horizon.
- If animals unexpectedly group together, hide in different nooks, leave the area, or show extreme anxiety, these may be signs of an approaching natural disaster.
- As soon as you hear a tsunami alert, don't wait for even a second - evacuate immediately!
- Move as far away from the shore as you can, heading toward high hills, mountains, or a forest.
- If possible, go at least 2 miles inland and 100 feet above sea level.
- Keep in mind that roads often get wiped out by tsunamis; therefore, after everything’s done, you may have trouble finding your way back.
- Stay away from power lines, walls, bridges, and whatnot. Even if these constructions look sturdy enough, they can collapse during the aftershock.
- Evacuation routes in potentially dangerous areas are often marked by a special sign with a wave and an arrow on it.
- Even when you think that everything's over, don't be too quick to relax. Tsunamis come in waves, and there may be dozens of them.
- Try to find reliable information by listening to radio updates.
- Don't forget about the risk of electrocution. The water can be electrically charged by damaged underground power lines.
- Far from the shore, such waves usually travel at a breakneck speed of up to 500 miles per hour. But when a wave is getting closer to the coast, it slows down to 30 miles per hour and grows in height.
- If a tsunami is drawing nearer while you're far from the shore, paddle toward the horizon, to the deep sea.
- A tsunami’s waves can travel at a speed of 20 to 30 miles per hour and reach a height of 10 to 100 feet.
- About 80% of all the tsunamis are born in the Pacific Ocean's "Ring of Fire," which is a seismically active zone with 452 volcanoes and the world's largest number of earthquakes.

True though. My dog started running when I took him for a walk, and we ended up on a hill and he won't budge. Soon, a tsunami came.

Someone I know barely avoided the Boxing Day tsunami because they went to an island a bit off the coast a few hours before it hit, and not only avoided it, but didn’t even know it happened till they returned to the mainland.

My dad’s friend was in a Tsunami and it must have been horrible because he was holding onto his wife as the Tsunami came and he held her and closed his eyes as it came crashing down and once the water was gone he opened his eyes and his wife was gone. The water had swept her away... It was terrible. The worst part is, they haven’t found her body... :<
