Default OT Earthquakes and Tidal waves in Asia - eye witness accounts BBC

Not wishing to cause alarm, but isn't it just as likely to have a tsunami
in the Atlantic as it is in the Indian ocean.


I don't know. Perhaps the area is less prone to earthquakes. But didn't
Lisbon suffer very severely from one sometime in the 18th century?

And do we have an early warning system?


I understand that, unlike the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean does, but
I've no idea about the Atlantic.
