Warning times can vary for tornadoes, but on average people get about 13 minutes of warning time.

Why was there no tsunami warning system in the Indian Ocean?
There are two reasons. First, tsunamis are not as common in the Indian Ocean as they are in the Pacific, which has had a warning system since 1949. This meant there was less motivation to build such a system. Second, the Indian Ocean is surrounded largely by countries that are not well economically developed and likely were unable to build such a system. The Pacific, by contrast, is bordered by a number of wealthy nations, most notably the United States, Canada, and Japan.
