another tsunami coming?

how many of you had received the tsunami warning sms? i haven’t.

i actually didn’t know anything about it until i first read brandon’s blog, where he posted an article from bangkok (but no link though. where you get it brandon? why no link one?). later on i realised it was in the star of 7 dec. when i read viewtru’s blog. (i had no time to read the paper these days that i just glance through it, thus missing it).

according to the bangkok article, this meteorologist, dr smith dharmasaroja, who in 1998 predicted the dec. 26 tsunami, again predicted:
“a big earthquake with a more northerly epicentre than the dec 26 quake will generate a tsunami which will have a more direct route down to the straits of malacca, swamping S’pore and M’sia during the month of december 05′ and january 06′.

according to the star article though, deputy science, technology and innovation minister datuk kong cho said that although people can predict earthquake but it is impossible for them to predict when it will happen.

hmm… so who do you want to believe? will the expert, dr dharmasaroja’s warning scare you off from visiting the beach between dec. and jan. next year?
