Look to the Future

          The fate of Arop, Warapu, Malol, and Sissano should de disquieting to residents of the West Coast of the United States. A Pacific earthquake could easily send a tsunami their way as well. If they were lucky and the quake was distant, they'd have a couple of hours' warning. But if the quake were closer to shore, they might not know what was happening until they saw the wave looming overhead. --- Kathy Svitil

End with a Summary
