This afternoon the campus security guards brought up a good possible scenario. We were discussing about how bad the jam is in key areas such as Lutong-Pujut, Pujut-Permyjaya , Taman Tungku et. al. Then one guard mentioned that all the roads in Miri is flat. So in case *touch wood* a tsunami happens this town is fucked.We didn't go to the point of "what if" but more to what to do if a tsunami did come crashing into Miri *touch wood*. The most obvious place to go was Canada Hill. But I beg to differ as Canada Hill's foundation is not strong. Landslide cases along the hill this year is proof that the hill is fragile.
So the best option was Taman Tungku. Reason being is it is located 3.25KM inland and located on the other side of the hill. In addition the airport would break any incoming water.
So hopefully you know where to run when someone SMSes the tsunami warning. And do have your own contingency plan when such natural disaster occurs e.g. stock up on fresh boxes of Derek drinking water, canned food and a broadband to give the world updates through Facebook, Blogger, Twitter and MSN.
