Without Warning
Feb 27 2010
People like to see destruction.
While watching what is happening in Hawaii as it's been predicted that a Tsunami could hit the island today. Most people
didn't want to see anything happen others said "what a bummer no tsunami". It's like viewing reality tv.
Since the Tsunami Warning was in place people had time to prepare. But nothing happened up until this point. And this could
cause a potential full scale outrage should Hawaii get hit with a Tsunami and no one knows until it's over. An earthquake
can occur anytime, anywhere and it's affect can only be felt. But scientists don't have a 100% detection system. In
the event they couldn't get the warning out it would end up just like all the other natural disasters. They occur without
warning. The devastation is something massive and unforgiving. The impact is felt world wide. There is little anyone can do.
Just like December 7, 1942 no one knew an attack was being carried out at the time.
The sleeping non-expectant victims never had a chance. Pearl Harbor was an act of war perpetrated by another country. A Tsunami
is a bit different but the same outcome. No warning until after it's over. Then it's the sorry and folks have to rebuild
there entire life. Everything is gone but more devastating is the loss of human life. Not just a guy living far away that
you watch on television. Actual folks you know. Hawaii is in the middle of Hurricanes, and natural disasters. A price they
pay for living in the island.
Just because Hawaii issues an
all clear today doesn't mean that the disaster can't happen later. And in Hawaii people will resume there normal routines.
In the middle of the Pacific Ocean an earthquake can strike at any time. No one knows the time or the day. Until the first
sign of disaster is felt until the last, people can only do the best at the time.
We'll never be ready. No matter how much technology some things and events happen in our lives without warning
or planning. You can plan for it. Just like Hawaii did today and for good reason to preserve lives. We can continue to work
on an early warning system for all natural disasters. We can continue to keep an eye on events that can impact our society
and give as much advanced warning as possible. But life is like that. You just never know what could happen next.
