Is funny eh, I recall reading about tsunami when I was small. But it was like long-time, storybook thing. Now in less than a decade we have seen 2 massive ones, with an unfathomable death toll (250,000+) and unbelievable destruction. It is awesome and awful and depressing all at the same time.
The word tsunami means harbor-wave in Japanese, because fishermen came back to port and found it all gone. You could imagine that feeling? that scene? You leave for work in the morning and come back to find everybody dead and everything gone? Everything. Houses, Trees, people and animals. The whole place scrape clean. wow...
