No, they're typhoons on the pacific. Sorry to be a smart aleck, but a tsunami is something else entirely, you should know that.

Whoops, that's what I meant. Sorry folks. I knew it started with a "T". Next time I'd better double check my self. =\

Just the same, I HATE English. too many special exceptions.

...Maybe I'll rewrite it, still using the letters and looking similar, except without the dumb exceptions, when I get bored. It would be interesting to use it on BYOND and see who gets confused or tries to correct my "bad" English...

Good idea. BDW: typhoons, I've heard, can be much worse than hurricanes. Just a random statement I'm not sure is true I heard somewhere. I'm being quite random. Maybe it's 'cause of all that sugar...

Looks like it's over for me, and I had power outages for a bit over 24 hours even though it didn't hit here much worse than a common hurricane. Die, Mississippi Power Company... DIE!!

A hurrican is a storm with an 'eye' that has winds that normally get up into the 100s of mph and.....

But, no, it is not a tsunami (Japanese for 'harbor wave' nor is it a thunderstorm)


Tsunamis are specifically generated by a large peice of land (usually from tectonic plate movement, suddenly moving (also generating earth quakes), displacing a VERY large amount of water very fast.

See: South-Asian Tsunami.

Being English rules. :p

It's what the Japanese, or Western U.S call Tsunami's. Just a large thunderstorm basically.

I know what they are... :p

I really meant "England never gets them". =P

Well, I for one say that we make a 70 ft. wall of metal that will block the se coast from the water so we don't have the news flooded with useless stuff. We all know we need to know if a baby gets dragged by a tractor-trailer in a baby carriage. o.o

I live in Ny so like nyck I don't have to worry. Last year we had that blackout though. That was annoying.
..
Good luck to ya though

Well, in canada ontario we got a tornado awhile ago. The last tornado here was 25 years ago until now. Anyways, the tonado (luckly) went around my town.

Good luck with this hurricane, pray it doesn't hail bad, there was this one time when it hailed bowling balls, well the size of bowling balls.
