I heard, this morning, that the warning systems that are available were not in place to forewarn people of what was going to happen. Apparently, there was a 2-2 1/2 period between the earthquake and the Tsunami (sp?) and many people who were on the beaches and coastal homes could have had time to get to higher ground. What a tragic thing to have happen. The latest death toll, this morning, was close to 21,000. Our prayers are with the people in these areas and the rescue workers, coming in to help.
