Signs of an Approaching Tsunami


In almost all weather conditions, there are signs as to say "uh oh a storm is coming" or "warning a tornado is coming this way", so you would think there are signs of an approaching tsunami. Well there are actually no signs of Tsunami's, but there are other things that just might help you guess that a Tsunami might be coming. A few things to watch out for are: if a earthquake occurs near shallow water, then likely you will get a Tsunami. Another thing to watch out for is, if you are in a coastal area and the water starts to drawback more then normal, and you hear a sucking noise then that is another sign. If the first part of the Tsunami is a trough (drawback) and its not the crest of the wave, then you will likely see parts of the waters that would normally be submerged.
