Costalegre Tsunami warning sirens - but in time?

From Scott Morrison (I haven't seen these yet)

Couple of shots of our new 'tsunami' warning sirens. This collection of eight monster electronic sirens are sitting in front of a house in the 'Primavera' subdivision (the river flats). They are part of the Pacific Rim tsunami warning system, and are just waiting installation. Their control systems are to be based out at the 'Civil Defense' building on hwy 80. They are to be erected around the area and sit on 12 meter high towers.




Now there is a group or individual who is making predictions of an earthquake in May 2009 that will be stronger than the 1985 quake that did so much damage to Mexico City. We know Mexico City is inland but the quakes are all centered off the west coast.

Terremoto = Earthquake
Maremoto = Tsunami



The construction of the house finished in April 2011 and I'm pretty much settled in. As of March 2014 I'm in preparation for rain mode for this coming summer. That includes sealing and painting things and dealing with drainage issues from last year.
