[WikiEN-l] Tsunamis and disaster articles

[Bob the Wikipedian]

It's information I learned from a professional volcanologist several 
years back, so given the time frame, I'd say there's room for a flaw in 
my memory. Upon a quick check of [[Typhoon]] and of [[Tsunami]], it 
appears my memory failed me. ;-)

Heh, I didn't do well in that class, anyway.
