How do you tell if tsunami is coming?

Answer 1

The signs are:

• an earthquake may be felt
• large quantities of gas may come up as bubbles, thus making the water look like it is boiling
• waves may feel unusually hot
• water may smell like rotten eggs or petrol
• the water will sting the skin
• a thunderous boom and roaring of a jet plane will be heard
• the water will recede to a considerable distance
• sometimes, the top of the wave will look red

Answer 3

The most noticeable indication that a Tsunami is approaching is the coastal area - as the wave approaches, water near the beaches recedes several hundred yards. It's one reason many people are killed - fascinated by the exposed area of the beach that was once underwater, they rush to check it out and pick up sea items, unknowingly running to an area which is likely to result in serious injury or death.

Tsunami-prone areas also have their own alert systems - e.g., all of Japan's coastal cities have Tsunami warning alerts and evacuation procedures.
