Yeah great in slow time

This was a big one and happened in nano seconds; the plates moved 200m in a split second and created a 200ft wave from the epicentre; by the time it was registered it was too late, it was on the way. How do you employ a warning system for a castrophe when you don't know where it's going to happen? Who do you blame when it happens? Who's next? California?
