Did you know...
 

That the UK has had 3 Tsunami's before?

The last being in 1755 after the 1755 Lisbon earthquake.

I never knew that. :shocked:

No. I know we have lots of earthquakes. Just little ones thankfully

Earthquakes 'here' in the last 30 days

Apparently we lie on an ancient fault line that some scientists are saying is becoming active again. :shocked:

Well they can bloody well get down there with the sticky tape and fix it :nono:

no x

In the event of a Tsunami, we'd be so unprepared. Me and Shaun would be the first to go. :sad:

I think I would pass out with shock if I saw a big tsunami coming towards me.

I'm pretty much in the middle but that means I'd just have too much time to think about whats coming :shocked:

Yeah, I've been reading up on them. It took 4 hours for the wave to arrive from that earthquake, apparently. So that is some warning?

Yeah but how would they warn people? Especially, say, it was at this time of night? And down here in Devon/Cornwall a lot people out of the cities live miles apart.


And where would I go, most of where I live is flat. :sad:

I'd imagine they'd use every siren they could to alert people. I remember the sirens they used from the coastguard when I was a kid at Mablethorpe beach and that was just for stormy seas but you bloody moved I tell you

Trouble is they wouldn't have enough time for everyone down here as there are a lot of remote areas and not enough highlands.

It actually just made me shudder to think of a Tsunami hitting us in the dark.

I imagine they would have changed the Siren since 1943 :evilgrin:

Suppose it would depend on what cuased to tsunami in the first place. Yes, an earthquake, but where..... Theres always warning, the entire planets activity is constantly monitored, just depends how much warning....

That smiley :joker:
