Slow news day, Jim?

Hi TWAT!

NO...just fast moving story...
Warning issued...then moments later lifted...

Remember the Tsunami of 2004?
NO warnings issued...sadly lives lost...

Better to post the warning...I think...
and leave the TWATS to their own...

You didn't tell us when the tsunami warning was put in place...only when it was lifted.

In other words...USELESS.

Dear Chicken Little,

I'm well aware of that.

But why start a thread saying that the warning had been LIFTED when there was apparently not an earlier post that said a warning had been PUT IN PLACE?

Because it's an opportunity to make a "minimal effort" post. Any post boosts his presence and helps attract more insurance sales enquiries via his signature block.
