Amazing video of the tsunami as it hit an Indonesian concert last night. How the heck in this day and age do they not have some type of warning system.
Holy mackerel!
Tsunamis are actually very hard to detect because !) they move so fast (typically several hundred mph!) and 2) are barely measurable in the open ocean (often only inches high with enormous peak-to-peak wavelengths). They don't rise up until reaching shallow coastal waters where the wave form compresses and rises-up, and they are preceded by a deceptive drop in coastal water level -- the first human observable clue and at which point you can't run fast enough.
Have a friend who worked at start-up in Austin TX area that has patented ocean buoys that uses GPS to track the subtlest movements but complex computer programming and supercomputers are needed to tease out the amazingly subtle tsunami pattern from all the other much larger and normal wind-drive wave patterns while it's still far enough away to be useful -- in the open ocean. No simple task.

Yeah, this was an underwater landslide so not clear the ocean buoys would have helped even if they were working. Indonesian government is just so incompetent and corrupt we will probably never know even IF the buoys were actually vandalized or if they were just not working for total lack of maintenance (as one official had mentioned). Sad so many died.
