Eventful Sunday

yeah right..today has been eventful. It all started with the mild tremor which only I felt in my house.Actually it feels real good when u are the only one to experience a phenomenon and you have anxious faces looking at you and listening to ur experience:). The tremor was at around 6:30 a.m, I'm not the kind who gets up in those ghostly hours but something wasn't right. Maybe I have the power to detect earth quakes?wow..need to wait for yet another quake to confirm that.wil keep u all posted.

This quake was centered in Indonesia which sent tremors to places as far as India. It measured close to 9 in the richter scale which I learnt is pretty nasty. The quake gave rise to some real huge tidal waves called Tsunami. This tsunami swept most of South East Asia. I live in this sourthern state of India called Chennai which also experienced the Tsunami. We live close to the sea, so today was spent answering calls from worried relatives and friends who were checking on our safety. More than 1000 are feared dead in our state.

Such things really put me into the thinking mode. Nature sure has its checks and balances. May god give strength to people who have lost their near and dear ones in the calamity.

Did some research in tsunami all day.Some teaser for u ppl

A tsunami (pronounced tsoo-nah-mee) is a wave train, or series of waves, generated in a body of water by an impulsive disturbance that vertically displaces the water column. Earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, explosions, and even the impact of cosmic bodies, such as meteorites, can generate tsunamis. Tsunamis can savagely attack coastlines, causing devastating property damage and loss of life.

Thats it frm this side of the monitor. As usual

I'll be back
