I can't help but think of the people of Kiribati, and Fanning island in particular, who live at ocean level with no high ground to flee to. Their islands and athols are quickly and steadily being engulfed by the sea's rising level. A 3-6 foot swell, wether you want to call it a tsunami or not, must have had devastating repercussions for them. They have already sought and obtained environmental refugee status from New Zealand. I am told some of them already had to abandon their little islands.

Keep well, all.
