Caribbean nations warned to prepare for ‘giant’ tsunami

April 30, 2012CARIBBEANA leading expert at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) is urging the Caribbean’s 40 million people to be prepared for a tsunami, two years ahead of a planned early warning system for the region. Watson-Wright, assistant director-general and executive secretary of the UNESCO-Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, has agreed with other leading tsunami experts that it is a case of “when, not if” the region would be struck by the giant waves triggered by earthquakes and volcanic activity, Watson-Wright noted. “Lurking beneath the azure waters that wash up on countless coastal and island beaches and vacation spots is the potential for a devastating tsunami,” she said. In addition to the 40 million people living in the region, she said 22 million people visit the Caribbean annually, making the region “extremely vulnerable to the impacts of tsunamis.” Since 1498 there have been at least 94 tsunamis with run-ups reported in the Caribbean region, causing 4,652 deaths, Watson-Wright said. She said most of these tsunamis were associated with underwater, or what are called submarine earthquakes, although the Caribbean Sea region has all of the potential tsunami-generating sources, such as submarine earthquakes, sub-aerial or submarine landslides and volcano activity. Scientists and disaster management officials have said that models predict a tsunami wiping out vast areas in several island nations where most people live in around capitals and low-lying coastal areas. “Sound science-based tsunami inundation modeling has been performed for all of Puerto Rico and several localities in the French Antilles and Venezuela, which demonstrates real tsunami threats for this region,” the UNESCO expert said. –Jamaica Observer

  • I should have known ... thanks Cheryl

  • Nancy, and the little chaps from Z, Reticuli  !!!!!!   we use codes here,,  ask Cheryl all about it!!!!!!!!

    I am not Welsh but would never go back to England. the scenery here is fabulous, at least when the sun shines.

  • One of my ancesters were Welsh :)

    What are/is NL & ZT?

  • the Hopi apart from advocating caves as refuge from the scorching sun,, also I believe advocated going high in the mountains. the drawings on rocks show people heading away from the seas to high ground. I have great belief the vision of billy Brandt was a real glimpse of the future. Time it seems is not the linear entity many think.   The US by the way has on going time travel and chronovisor facilities and stargates, but this is off subject. My contact said planet x is real, and NL of ZT was the real deal, so much fits in place though the details may not be quite right. I think it is the really broad view we must take of all this. Thank God the welsh mountains are only a few miles away  LOL

  • The Woulds Coast lines will change dramatically ... as you all saw in that massive Japan earthquake, the ocean floods in, destroying everything in its path, then destroys more as it sweeps back out ... in effect, washing the land clean

  • I can only hope you have all been preparing?   For those of you who have not seen the movie 2012, I would recomend watching the part where the Earth's Crust starts to shift/slide, and the resulting massive tidal wave.  Should this happen in reality, the Oceans of the World would slop back and forth many times until they settle down ... maybe to new locations.   This was mentioned in The Kolbrin ... from many viewpoints

  • Buy  a big berkey, or similar, have spare elements. Use thin bleach to sterilize water.

  • I best be filling water jugs just in case....

  • In the next 4 weeks, that would mean this month.  There is so many predictions about things happening between May 12th through to around May 20th.  Guess time will tell.  

  • I'd still like to know what they know. If they are practicing lockdown f the cities, along with all the security measures, then it seems CONUS will be affected, according t the Vision of Billy Brandt, the Pacific coast of the US will be affected so it seems the ring of fire is expected to go up big time. Tolec says sometime in the next four weeks!!!!!
