Sounds like someone heard how much $ was made in construction for the tsunami towers...........

The towers will warn public members of potential flooding conditions 30 minutes or one hour before they occur.

First they mention that the seas will not rise as Thailand is too far from the glaciers and now we are talking about "slow moving water" What is next lightning lookout posts that warn us 5 minutes in advance to disconnect our appliances. I have been here so long I am starting to believe this stuff.

Just wait 'till they introduce "Farang in the vicinity warning towers", then you need to worry.
