He swept in like a tsunami, wave after wave, and I didn’t stand a chance. All those warnings, all the things they tried to prepare me for—lost in an instant—to the enormity of what I felt.
Lang Leav (Lullabies)
In Japan, there are monuments called tsunami stones—giant tablets on the coastline that warn descendants of earlier settlers not to build their homes past a certain point. They date back to 1896, when two tsunamis killed 22,000 people. The Japanese believe that it takes three generations to forget. Those who experience a trauma pass it along to their children and their grandchildren, and then the memory fades. To the survivors of a tragedy, that’s unthinkable—what’s the point of living through something terrible if you cannot convey the lessons you’ve learned? Since nothing will ever replace all you’ve lost, the only way to make meaning is to make sure no one else goes through what you did. Memories are the safeguards we use to keep from making the same mistakes.
Jodi Picoult (Wish You Were Here)
they did not tell me it would hurt like this no one warned me about the heartbreak we experience with friends... it is the type of heartache that does not hit you like a tsunami it is a slow cancer... it all ends the same a friend or a lover a loss is a loss -the underrated heartache
Rupi Kaur (The Sun and Her Flowers)
Bottom line: if you're on a beach and the ground starts shaking - and especially if that shaking lasts more than one minute - it's probably a subduction earthquake and there probably will be a tsunami. The shaking is all the warning you're going to get. Head for higher ground immediately and don't wait for any official notification.

Rupi Kaur (The Sun and Her Flowers)
This vivid ten-second image would come to him without warning and without consideration of either time or place. He could be riding on the subway or writing formulas on the blackboard or having a meal or (as now) sitting and talking to someone across a table, and it would envelop him like a soundless tsunami. By the time he noticed, it would be directly in front of him, and his arms and legs would be paralyzed. The flow of time stopped. The air grew thin, and he had trouble breathing. He lost all connection with the people and things around him. The tsunami’s liquid wall swallowed him whole. And though it felt to him as if the world were being closed off in darkness, he experienced no loss of awareness. It was just a sense of having been switched to a new track. Parts of his mind were, if anything, sharpened by the change. He felt no terror, but he could not keep his eyes open. His eyelids were clamped shut. Sounds grew distant, and the familiar image was projected onto the screen of his consciousness again and again. Sweat gushed from every part of his body and the armpits of his undershirt grew damp. He trembled all over, and his heartbeat grew faster and louder.
Haruki Murakami (1Q84 (1Q84, #1-3))
Everything started off smoothly enough, as everything usually does before going horribly wrong. Disasters typically come without warning. Earthquakes toss children from their beds in the dark of night. Airplanes plummet from clear blue skies. Tsunamis level entire coastlines. Buildings collapse, banks fold, economies fail, empires crumble.
Tod A (Banging the Monkey)
And I wonder how we could possibly have ended up in this place. Why I didn’t see the warning signs far enough in advance to prevent this from happening. I try to hold back the sob swooping up from deep inside me like a tsunami from the ocean floor. But I can’t, and I bend forward, crying for my failures as a mother
Inglath Cooper (Dragonfly Summer (Smith Mountain Lake #2))
One by Stewart Stafford Death riding a pale horse, Warned it was time to leave, No hiding place as dice rolled, I sank to my knees to grieve. Six hundred and sixty-six morticians, Greeted the thing from the sea, Scuttling sideways down the road, It headed for Washington D.C. Navel-gazing, not my thing at all, But the Day of Judgement came by, Grabbing my phone lightning-fast, A dying breath to scream goodbye. Firestorms, tsunamis, the dead resurrecting, The sun shattered into nine, Winds that flayed skin from bone, Jester bells at dawn's last shine. © Stewart Stafford, 2022. All rights reserved.

Yo mama is so fat… when she dives into the ocean there is a tsunami-warning!
Johnny B. Laughing (Yo Mama Jokes Bible: 350+ Funny & Hilarious Yo Mama Jokes)
At the White House, President Collins took a call from Governor Hunt of California, “Mr. President, we have a disaster here in California. San Francisco was wiped out by a tsunami and a 9.5 earthquake. There are no survivors,” “I’m sorry to hear that. When did it happen?” “Thirty minutes ago,” “Was there any warnings at all?” “None. I need you to declare it a federal disaster area, sir,” “I’m not going to do that, Governor,” “Why not?” Hunt couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “The election is less than a week from now, so I need all the votes I can get. San Francisco has been useful to me, since the residents there make up most of my base, so to declare it a federal disaster area and all citizens killed will not get me the votes I need. I will simply purge the story from the media, you won’t acknowledge it happened, and any story that leaks out about it, the person who leaks it will be severely punished.

Carlton Church - Natural Disaster Survival Kit Floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, super typhoons and fires. These types of news appear more frequently within this year than the previous ones. Old people nowadays even complain of the changing world, followed by endless accounts of peaceful living during their time. Are these all effects of global warming? Is our Mother Earth now starting to get angry of what we, humans, have done to its resources? Perhaps. We can never predict when a disaster would strike our home. And since you are still reading this, it is safe to assume that you are still able breathe and live your life. The best thing we can do right now is prepare. There is no use panicking only when the warning arrives. It is better to give gear up now and perhaps survive a few more years. Preparation should not be too extravagant. And it doesn’t have to be a suitcase filled with gas masks and whatnot. Remember that on the face of disaster, having a large baggage would be more of a burden that survival assistance. Pack light. You’ll only need a few of the following things: 1. Gears, extra batteries and supplies. Multi-purpose tool/knife, moist towelettes, dust masks, waterproof matches, needle and thread, compass, area maps, extra blankets and sleeping bags should all should be part of your emergency supply kit. It is also important to bring extra charge for your devices. There are back-up universal batteries available for most cell phones that can offer an extra charge. 2. Important paperwork and insurance documents. When tsunami hit Japan last 2011, all documents were washed up resulting to chaos and strenuous recovery operations. Until now, many citizens linger in the streets of Tokyo in the hopes that most technologically advanced city in the world can reproduce certificates, diplomas and other legal and important written document stolen by water. This is why copies of personal documents like a medication list, proof of address, deed/lease to home, and insurance papers, extra cash, family photos and emergency contact information should be included in your survival kits. 3. First Aid Kit Store your first aid supplies in a tool box or fishing tackle box so they will be easy to carry and protected from water. Inspect your kit regularly and keep it freshly stocked and do not use cheap and fraudulent ones. It is also helpful to note important medical information and most prescriptions that can be tucked into your kit. Medical gauges, bandages, Hydrogen peroxide to wash and disinfect wounds, individually wrapped alcohol swabs and other dressing paraphernalia should also be useful. Read more at: carltonchurch.org

Kram whipped out a wad of twenties, walked over to Delisoro and said, "I would like to buy your blue velvet leisure suit.

But I’ll warn you; the ocean of ideas on this subject can smash you like a tsunami. Once the waves of information hit, they keep coming, faster and deeper until you’re drowning in details and suppositions that

In towns up and down the coast of Japan, stone markers were found on hillsides, engraved with ancient warnings: Do not build your homes below this point! Some of the warning stones were more than six centuries old. A few had been shifted by the tsunami, but most had remained safely out of its reach. “They’re the voices of our ancestors,” said the mayor of a town, destroyed by the wave. “They were speaking to us across time, but we didn’t listen.

Ruth Ozeki (A Tale for the Time Being)
There was no advance warning, no marginal area of incremental damage. The wave had come in with full force, spent itself and stopped at a point as clearly defined as the reach of a high tide. Above it, nothing had been touched; below it, everything was changed.
Richard Lloyd Parry (Ghosts of the Tsunami: Death and Life in Japan's Disaster Zone)
The west coast of Canada and the U.S. was rollicked by a massive underwater earthquake emanating from the Aleutian Islands. The seismic shift created a wall of water, an eight-hundred-foot tsunami, that swamped the three westernmost states and found its way to Hawaii without warning. Millions of people died as a result.

7.3-magnitude earthquake hits near Papua New Guinea A powerful earthquake struck off the South Pacific nation of Papua New Guinea on Friday, but there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries. The U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude-7.3 earthquake was located 61 kilometres (38 miles) southwest of the town of Panguna on Bougainville Island. It struck at a depth of 50 kilometres (31 miles). The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said there was no threat of a destructive widespread tsunami. But the agency said quakes of this size can sometimes generate waves that can be destructive to coasts within a few hundred kilometres (miles) of the epicenter. A staffer at the Geophysical Observatory in the capital, Port Moresby, said no reports of damage or unusual wave activity along

LOST MONEY TO FAKE BROKERS? CONTACT→(FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY) FOR ASSIST. I'm a fairly tech-savvy guy: I check links for doubles, verify sources, and I never download anything shady. But when a fake wallet update stole $220,000 from me, well-let me tell you-if it happens to you, you'll realize how easy this is to fall for. It all began with my regular check of my Bitcoin wallet: a notification popped up, requesting me to install an "important security update." It was absolutely legitimate in appearance-same branding, same language, even the same interface. Wanting to stay ahead with security, I clicked install without a second thought. The very moment the update finished, my wallet locked me out. I tried my usual credentials—nothing. Reset password? The link wouldn't send. My heart pounded as, on another device, I refreshed my balance: zero. Panic set in. My mind raced, wondering: Did I just lose everything? My $220,000-years of careful investments-gone because of one click? I felt sick. I tried reaching out to the wallet's official support, but they confirmed my worst fear: I had installed malware that stole my keys. They couldn't do anything. In desperation, I went to r/Crypto Advice on Reddit. The post was raw, frantic, practically begging for help. Amidst the tsunami of condolences and warnings from folks saying my funds were definitely gone, one reply stood out: "Try FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY. They've helped people in your situation before." Skeptical but desperate, I called, and they called back instantly-reassuring. No impossible promises were made, but they said they would do everything in their power. In hours, they traced where my funds had been rerouted; they were not lost yet. The waiting was torture, but the updates they were giving me kept me sane. Then came that email: "We've recovered your funds." I couldn't believe it. The feeling of logging into my wallet and having the full balance was just unreal. My financial future had been hanging by a thread, and FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY pulled me back from the edge. Beyond just recovery, they took the time to walk me through security best practices, teaching me how to identify fake updates and secure my investments against future attacks. Lesson learned: even the best investors get duped. But thanks to FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY, this wasn't a wipeout.
