    we should ban tsunamis or make the coastline a tsunami free zone
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    ...and tornado's while we're at it...
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Since this was slightly stronger than the quake that caused the Lituya Bay super tsunami I can understand why people fled to high ground to be safe.
