Satellite images of Tsunami Damage

Following my previous post on why the earth is causing these large quake, I saw Dr Kerry Sieh from the Earth Observatory in Singapore discussing his research into the Asian region on ABC TV Program 7:30 special. It seems from his research that more large earthquakes are expected due to the continual movement of the Pacific (and other) plates. I quote" So the 2004 earthquake began a sequence that is now continuing through the Chilean earthquake of last year to the earthquake recently in Japan. We don't know yet whether that's going to be the end of it or whether in fact this extraordinarily robust sequence of great earthquakes will continue."
It's not called the Ring of Fire for nothing.
Sobering reading/watching.
Youtube videos of the Japanese Tsunami damage is also very sobering



Scary reading but we have to live our life to the full without unduly worrying about these uncontrollable events. At the same time hoping our regulations, governments, disaster planner and wealth can ameliorate any disasters that may yet happen.
