Tsunami Hits Hawaii Or When It's Too Late To Evacuate

Although many were evacuated in preparation of the 12 foot tsunami, reality turned out a wave much smaller than expected. Even so, I wanted you to see the fury with which this 3 foot wave hit.
Predictably, people ran once they realised the strength of the wave.
Scientists say that variables make it difficult to know just how bad a tsunami will be. This makes it hard to know for sure if you should evacuate or not.



So, how do you know what to do? Anytime there is a natural disaster, people want to hang around and watch. So how can you be sure that you've waited too long to leave? Here are some examples of people who hung out too long.

If you wait until your house is chasing you,

You have waited too long.

If your public transportation is a helicopter,

You have waited too long.

If you go shopping and parking problems aren't caused by other traffic,

You may have waited too long.

So don't wait too long to evacuate, the life you save may be your own.
