It is horrible to hear from the talk that

The Sichuan earthquake might be rescaled to mag 8.3, subject to world-wide data and scientists' confirmation.

It is the storm surge (風暴潮) caused by the tropical cyclone Nargis, which cause the disastrous damage and kill to Myanmar.It is surprising that such damage would be so similar to a tsunami.

It seems we should also pay more attention to the storm surge, apart from tsunami.

"... 1970年11月12-13日發生在孟加拉灣沿岸地區的一次風暴潮，曾導致30余萬人死亡和100多萬人無家可歸。"
