Happy New Year too.

The USGS said on the day of the disaster that they were aware of the in 
coming tsunamis before they hit but didn't know who to contact.  So the 
problem is not one of detection - the usgs have that covered - but one 
of dissemination.  There is no communication and warning network around 
the affected area.  I've heard that they had considered one but nothing 
happened.  I guess there will soon be one now.

Here, needless to say, my detector was off at the time, so unfortunately 
I missed an important test of my new Lehman.
