  • anderzole, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1they detected the tsunami last year
  • dpazar2, on 05/20/2008, -0/+1Thats a good article, Im suprised this hasn't been studied. It makes plenty of sense...multiple waves are typically released before we can feel anything and with animals' heightened senses you think some species would give off a warning. Im glad they are finally looking into it. Maybe this is what caused Godzirra to come up from the dark depths of the ocean to reap havoc. He was just scared and anxious because he knew a radical quake was coming and didnt know what to do besides destroy buildings and kill people...poor guy.
