I hope that some of us were able to see the LIVE footage of Tsumani heading into Hawaii. I saw the entire event on live cams and it was an event to watch and also how Hawaii authorities were in full force. The vast amount of sea water rushing out in the first phase then returning back in second phase was something to see.
On natural distaters, I believe that there should be an international body that has a mandate to punish/convict/sieze govts who are responsible for mass deaths. Haiti lost over 200k lives because of failed govts and the yours truly corruption and grand theft of resources. We are all sitting on a time-bomb because if any natural disaster of such a scale was to hit developing nations, you may as well be one of the victims of a building collapse rather than survive it. What excatly will a govt do for its citizens?
This is how I see the answer from any developing govt : " We have gotten what we wanted, shida ni yeni....."
I fear for Nairobi - esp places like Umoja where it looks like there is a competition to see which constructor can ignore the most best practices/building codes etc.
And what's this about Nakuru being especially at risk? Anyone with more information?
