Update: The death toll is now reported at 43, with almost 600 injured.
We have daylight video of the devastation.
Are we to understand that for a second time the wave monitors failed to alert people? They told us when the last lethal tsunami hit in September that the technology designed to alert authorities was disabled, or something to that effect.
A journalist tells us there were two waves; the second bigger than the first and he was able to move to higher ground with his family before the second hit.
we know that THEY have the tec to influence earthquakes (mostly 10 km or under deep) and vulcano erruptions, too.
