Just heard on the lunchtime news that there are no reports of any deaths or serious injuries anywhere as a result of the Pacific tsunami.

Take a bow, emergency planners of the Pacific region.

With so much crappy news around at the moment, it's lovely to hear that sometimes, people do their job really well and lives get saved.

The #Tsunami proving Twitter is truly dead for breaking news, especially for disaster preparedness and relief.

No reliable source of information, everyone is a bluecheck grifter uploading old/fake videos for some cash.

Almost no boost to gov accounts across the globe dedicated to earthquakes, or mostly drowned under a tsunami of fakes.

What a total sh*tshow.

Seriously for all those people in beach town resorts and cities, towns and homes near the shoreline, you'd expect they'd mobile-enabled this site. 🤯

It is nice to have a goofy website that looks dated from the Netscape times. "Weird the web" and all that, I am all for it. But don't forget your primary task of providing good services in case of an emergency.
