Just want to add that I don't blame the people at the weather station or meterologists for not warning the people in time. Working in a lab, I think monitoring instruments/instruments of measure can be highly inaccurate at times. Even the readings were reportedly considered to be inaccurate, I think the natural reaction would not be to trust them right? Even if they give a high reading, you would want to test them again or have other more reliable tests to make sure that you interpret the first results correctly. But sometimes I think people may be limited to equipment and resources to be able to have all these. If not the high readings would just be interpreted as an abnormally and you would just dismiss it.
Also there is the problem of human pride/behaviour/inconscienousness (ahh my spelling is terrible).
It was the same case for the 2004 tsunami. There were people who knew that a tsunami was coming and some warnings had already been sounded to authorities... but no action was taken and some people still stayed on the beach even when the the warning had been given in some places.
Hmm, I suddenly thought of this song:
I don't worry about tomorrow
I just live from day to day
I don't borrow from its sunshine
For its skies may turn to grey
Many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know He holds my hands
Thanks for reading... Jasmine :D
