there would never be enough to evacuate those communities, thirty minutes warning would be enough time to say a prayer and hope for the best.
Look at Mount St Helen's eruption people refused to leave and they had ample warning.#
The only thing that would save us from massive causualties is that we tend to have better home construction then they have in the third world.

I don't know about that Captain. How far inland did the water go? With a half hour head start you could out-walk those waves by a good distance. We've heard a lot of stories from Asia of people out-running the water with no warning at all.
You might lose your house and everything you own and it could take a minute to load Granny in the car but half an hour is quite a while to at least get out of the way.

Gridlock would probably b e the worst thing to hinder escape over anything else. Perhaps the out run method if you don't have granny in tow would be best. [/b][/quote]
That's true no doubt for the big cities. I guess I was thinking of the smaller communities that could be devastated. ie you could get out of Sooke or Olympia in half an hour.
