Tsu-not-mi

Well, it appears that the risk of tsunami following the Easter Earthquake in Asia has ebbed . . .

My sympathies -- (those that aren't quite numb yet) -- go out to the traumatized survivors of this series of disasters . . . as far as analysis goes, just yesterday an expert asserted a "100% chance" of tsunami. After all, we understand that earthquakes cause tsunamis by releasing energy into the water, right?

Breathing a sigh of relief for the people in and around Indonesia, I'll venture a guess that maybe we don't understand quite as much as we think we do . . .
