#tsunami2004 — Public Fediverse posts

21 years ago, December 26, 2004: M9.1 Sumatra-Andaman Earthquake and Indian Ocean Tsunami killed over 227,000 people. Before that quake, only the Pacific Ocean had #tsunami sensors. Because of that quake, all oceans do now. After videos captured widespread tsunami effects, tsunamis went from obscure to well-known. I'm adding this to the thread from the 20th anniversary last year - scroll up the thread for more info & links. https://www.usgs.gov/news/featured-story/indian-ocean-tsunami-remembered-scientists-reflect-2004-indian-ocean-killed #tsunami2004 #TDIH #history #earthquake #geology

Heute bin ich in #Stuttgart bei der Tante meiner Mutter (meine Großtante?) und ihrem Mann. Ein sehr faszinierendes Paar, beide viel um die Welt gekommen, er ist Hobbyfotograf und war ehemals evangelischer Pastor. Die beiden haben mit ihren Kindern im #Ruanda der 90er Jahre gelebt und den Völkermord in Ruanda von Angehörigen der Hutu an der Tutsi-Minderheit miterleben müssen. Sie haben dann ab 2003 in Thailand, #Bangkok gelebt und gearbeitet und auch den #Tsunami2004 miterlebt.

Ich habe ihnen heute vom Fediverse, v.a. von Mastodon und Pixelfed, erzählt und sie klangen sehr interessiert und meinten, sie schauen es sich einmal an. Morgen werde ich gemeinsam mit ihnen jeweils einen Account erstellen. Für ihn bietet sich Pixelfed an, da er sehr viele tolle Bilder hat, sie ist eher textbasiert unterwegs, daher werde ich ihr mal einen Mastodon-Account erstellen. Also stay tuned, wenn es morgen heißt #neuhier

"The Night the Earth Shook" by US🇺🇸 Geological Survey USGS - For the upcoming 20th anniversary of Dec 26, 2004 Sumatra-Andaman M9.2 #quake & Indian Ocean #tsunami, USGS recounts the events as data showed quake big enough to make a big tsunami. And the Indian Ocean had no warning systems at the time to tell people on its shores. Lessons learned: today all ocean basins have tsunami sensors. More evacuation sirens being built. https://www.usgs.gov/news/featured-story/night-earth-shook #tsunami2004 #TDIH #history #earthquake #geology

Wie Europa sich für Tsunamis wappnet

Vor 20 Jahren ereignete sich in Asien die bislang größte Tsunami-Katastrophe. Hunderttausende Menschen starben. Solche Wellen sind auch in Europa möglich. Die Wissenschaft arbeitet an Frühwarnsystemen. Von C. Gantner und J. Kerckhoff.
