... you would think they would have some type of warning system in place.
From the Indian Express:
"At least 280 people were killed and another 1000 injured on the islands of Sumatra and Java after a tsunami struck coastal areas around the Sunda Strait on Saturday night. The tsunami was caused by "an undersea landslide resulting from volcanic activity on Anak Krakatau" and was exacerbated by abnormally high tide because of the current full moon, Indonesia's disaster agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said."
Maybe not in this instance... RIP, for those who perished...
