Yep. There's a conclusion that took multi-billion $ computers to arrive at:
A 9.0 earthquake in an area with a history of earthquakes and tsunamis -
might mean a wave is coming.....this is called THINKING

A history of tsunamis? Tsunamis are rare in this region.

Tsunamis of the magnitude that just occurred are rare anywhere. They have
occurred in this very region, killing many thousands of people. Anywhere in
the pacific rim is considered a possible area for their occurrence, and
especially in Indonesia. So stop acting like a geologist when you can't
remember history you should have learned in high school.

Please list the tsunamis that have hit this region in the last hundred
years. This is the first time in recorded history that India has been
hit by a tsunami. So stop acting like an idiot and do a little reading,
assuming you know how.

No, this is not the first time in recorded history that India has been hit by a
tsunami. I might suggest that you do a bit of reading.

I'm not speaking for Jack, but I think his comments may have been referring to
tsunami's hitting the east coast of North America, which they indeed have.

I was referring to the entire Pacific-Rim area, thank you, which is just
about 100% of the source of all tsunamis, tidal waves, whatever you want to
call them. And KRAKATOA was certainly IN THE REGION where the earthquake
just occurred, and it caused a MAJOR tidal wave, killing thousands. But gee,
what idiot would think that a 9.0 earthquake might not cause a tsunami of an
enormity not previously seen in those parts? Maybe a " tsunami expert" like
SirCumference.

Why don't you go look them up? Do a little reading :-)

Rest assured, this is not the first time in recorded history that a tsunami has hit
India.
