Yonke imihla kubakho iinyikima. Uninzi lwethu alunakukwazi ukuziva, kuba zibuthathaka kangangokuba zenza kube nzima ukungcangcazela komhlaba, kodwa Kukho ezinye ukongeza kwinyikima enokuthi isebenzise i-tsunami alarm, yiyo loo nto ikwazi ukwenza umonakalo omkhulu. Yimeko leyo iye yashukumisa iAlaska Namhlanje, Lwesibini.
Ngobukhulu obuziidigri eziyi-8,2 kwisikali seRichter, esisusela ku-0 kuye kweli-10, le meko iye yarekhodwa yiU.S. Geological Survey.
Inyikima, eyenzeke kwiikhilomitha ezili-10 ubunzulu, yafunyanwa kwiikhilomitha ezingama-256 kumazantsi mpuma e-Chiniak, idolophu ekunxweme olusemantla ntshona eAlaska. Okomzuzwana, akukho monakalo ukuzisola, kodwa njengoko besitshilo, kukho isilumkiso se-tsunami esenziweyo kwaye, abasemagunyeni belizwe baye babongoza abo baselunxwemeni ukuba bafune ikhusi. Ukongeza, iZiko eliLumkisa ngeTsunami ePacific (PTWC) libabizile ukuba basuke kwiindawo eziphantsi.
Kuya kufuneka kukhunjulwe ukuba izilumkiso azithethi ukuba le nto iya kwenzeka, kodwa leyo kunokwenzeka ukuba yenzeke. Njengoko iOfisi yeAnchorage yezoNgxamiseko ichaza, "izilumkiso zeTsunami zithetha ukuba itsunami enomkhukula omkhulu kunokwenzeka okanye sele yenzekile." Ezi zinto zisenzeka elwandle ziyingozi kakhulu, kuba amaza abawavelisayo afikelela kwiimitha ezili-19; kwaye okona kubi kakhulu ayisiyiyo, eyona imbi kakhulu kukuba banokubonakala kwiiyure emva kwenyikima.
Ngoko ke, umngcipheko uyinyani kwaye ukuthintela kubaluleke kakhulu. Bayazi kakuhle le nto, hayi eAlaska kuphela, kodwa naseBritish Columbia (Canada), kunxweme lwaseHawaii kunye nonxweme lwaseMelika ukuya kuthi xhaxhe neMexico.
Ndiyathemba ukuba akukho nto yenzekayo, kodwa ukuba ekugqibeleni iyenzeka, uyakwaziswa.
