Today is 3 months since the tsunami hit 11 countries. Nearly 280,000 people were killed, a majority were female. Those that study the fault line
where the quake hit say, it is unstable and they expect another large quake. I hope if another quake comes that they get advanced warning before a
tsunami hits.
