I did not know what a Tsunami was until this incident, and I am sure I am
not the only one. It is possible that the story may be partially true, but
I don't believe it entirely.

Thank you for that! Is it really true, or is this an internet hoax?

If true, it reinforces my belief that renaming tidal waves as tsunamis
was a really really stupid thing to do. We all knew what a tidal wave
was! And I bet the secretary of the prime minister of Sri Lanka knew
also.

Anyhow, the secretary would never have erred in thinking that Mr. T.
Wave was arriving in two hours ...
