America Prepares for the Canary Mega-Tsunami
Fortnightly Tenerife News, Spain
And although there’s no telling when the crunch might occur – next week, next century or next millennium – some people across the pond are getting pretty twitchy and are preparing themselves, right now. Just in case.
Take Onslow, Carteret and Duplin Counties, for instance, which at the end of April staged a three day exercise “to test the area’s abilities to respond to a simulated mega-tsunami”.
The operation was a logical next-step after Onslow became the first major county on America’s east coast to have a tsunami emergency plan in place.
The event included emergency meetings and a simulated air evacuation.
Waste of time and money?
Not according to rescue volunteers who said the exercise was also a good opportunity to prepare for the hurricane season which begins on June 1.
