Warning signs, on 2 metre high poles, have appeared on Groomsport beach.
Is this a polite Tsunami Warning, or just political correctness gone mad?
What do you say?
The original Japanese term literally translates as "harbor wave." Tsunamis are a frequent occurrence in Japan; approximately 195 events have been recorded.
Due to the immense volumes of water and energy involved, tsunamis can devastate coastal regions.
Casualties can be high because the waves move faster than humans can run.
Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions (detonations of nuclear devices at sea), landslides and other mass movements, bolide impacts, and other disturbances above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami.
