I wonder if there are warnings for sea travelers.

Why? If you encounter a tsunami at sea, it is likely you wouldn't even notice it.

When your docked in a foreign country, are there warnings? does the

carribean have tsunami buoys? Hate to be caught off guard enjoying a

carribean beach with my wife and children when one of those bad boys

comes crashing through. I'll bet there are a whole lot of survivors that

don't take tsunami's lightly anymore. I would imagine that if there isn't

a warning system in place, there's plans for one, given the number of

tourists that visit carribean islands each year.

If you are on the beach and you see the water receding way out into the ocean, run like hell because it is going to come back in a big way.

I wouldn't have thought that anyone would have taken tsunamis lightly before. Big ones just aren't very common.

I read an article recently that said that in deep water, the terrible tsunami of a few months back was no more than a 3 foot swell, traveling at high speed. You would never even notice it. The trouble starts when it gets into shallow areas.
