Cat Forum / General Topics / January 2005Tsunami
While the death toll in the Tsunami is reaching 76,000 it now appears that very few if any wildlife were effected. The speculation is the wildlife detected the disaster was coming and fled the area. > The speculation >is the wildlife detected the disaster was coming >and fled the area.

The speculation >is the wildlife detected the disaster was coming >and fled the area. I would agree. People for a long long time have observed that animals, birds (and even insects) have a 6th sense with many natural events, and react in advance to them happening, by getting out of the way of them. Good example would be how ants move their eggs and such from out of the underground ant nest and to shelter (ie: into your house) before heavy rain.. >>While the death toll in the Tsunami is reaching 76,000 it now >>appears that very few if any wildlife were effected.

Some set off the alarm for such a wide area that many users turn them off, but many can now be programmed for specific counties. Some will sound the alarm for a specific amount of time, then go to spoken words to describe the situation; with others, the radio will continue until the user pushes a button, and then move on to the description. They are small and inexpensive. MaryL > What's a weather alert radio?? How does it work?

Actually, the NOAA weather radios don't just broadcast alerts. They deliver usual daily forecasts from the national weather service, and storm watches, as well as flash flood/tornado warnings. They're good to have, particularly the variety that sets off an alarm that will wake you.

From http://www.reuters.co.uk/newsArticle.jhtml?type=scienceNews&storyID=7207207 ===== Tsunami Adds to Belief in Animals' 'Sixth Sense' Thu Dec 30, 2004 01:31 PM GMT Printer Friendly | Email Article | RSS By Ed Stoddard JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Wild animals seem to have escaped the Indian Ocean tsunami, adding weight to notions they possess a "sixth sense" for disasters, experts said Thursday. Sri Lankan wildlife officials have said the giant waves that killed over 24,000 people along the Indian Ocean island's coast seemingly missed wild beasts, with no dead animals found. "No elephants are dead, not even a dead hare or rabbit. I think animals can sense disaster. They have a sixth sense. They know when things are happening," H.D. Ratnayake, deputy director of Sri Lanka's Wildlife Department, said Wednesday. The waves washed floodwaters up to 2 miles inland at Yala National Park in the ravaged southeast, Sri Lanka's biggest wildlife reserve and home to hundreds of wild elephants and several leopards. "There has been a lot of anecdotal evidence about dogs barking or birds migrating before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. But it has not been proven," said Matthew van Lierop, an animal behavior specialist at Johannesburg Zoo. "There have been no specific studies because you can't really test it in a lab or field setting," he told Reuters. Other authorities concurred with this assessment. "Wildlife seem to be able to pick up certain phenomenon, especially birds ... there are many reports of birds detecting impending disasters," said Clive Walker, who has written several books on African wildlife. Animals certainly rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger such as predators. The notion of an animal "sixth sense" -- or some other mythical power -- is an enduring one which the evidence on Sri Lanka's battered coast is likely to add to. The Romans saw owls as omens of impending disaster and many ancient cultures viewed elephants as sacred animals endowed with special powers or attributes. The tsunami was triggered by an earthquake in the Indian Ocean Sunday. It killed tens of thousands of people in Asia and East Africa. ? Reuters 2004.

The aid agencies over here are asking for cash, not stuff. I think that the idea is that they can spend the money to buy the supplies they need where it is cheapest and where the transportation costs will be lowest.

In your case the government is assuming that you would be willing to part with a penny or two to help them; that's what government does. You don't like it, don't vote them back in.

In a news group called "Slashdot", it has come to the attention of several (hundred) people, that there are a lot of "false" accounts being set up for supposed aid to the Tsunami victims. Personally I can't even begin to imagine doing anything of such a nature, but, unfortunately, there are people out there who find these kinds of disasters a great way to make major money for themselves. If you wish to make donations of any kind, PLEASE do a little research as to whom, where, when and how you can do so without getting ripped off. I am sure that there are several different financial institutions that have some kind of trust fund set up for these people. If not, go to your local Red Cross. I am positive that they either have a hand in the relief efforts, or they will at least know who to refer you to. It is a cold hard world out there, and unfortunately it is the innocent ones that are the victims. Education is so vital!!! (and I don't mean just the elementary/secondary kinds). >>>>lack of humanity? believe me, i feel bad for those guys, i just think we >>>>should send food and supplies, maybe a few workers, instead of sending [quoted text clipped - 56 lines] >ones that are the victims.

For the record they are not all dead. They are dying at the rate of 11,000 per day but there are those who are still alive. As to why they hate the red cross, I don't know my relatives from Wold War 2 are hesitant to talk about World War 2. The impression I get is the hatred comes from the way the Red Cross treated World War 2 veterans, some of whom were like my Uncle who was sent home to basically put his affairs in order. He was basically being sent back to Europe on what was supposed to be a suicide mission. Now at the ages of 80+ these veterans are extremely reluctant to talk about the war that this, our greatest generation, fought. The impression I get is they felt they were mistreated by the Red Cross. Anyone veterans of World War 2 who read this group who could elaborate? > Red Cross complaints in the wake of 9/11 were well documented in the days following 9/11.< Can you be specific? I am not picking a fight with you. I really need to know. Many of us are giving money to different groups to help the tsunami victims. I for one have not given money to the Red Cross yet, but am considering it. If indeed the Red Cross is as you wrote corrupted, I will of course channel my money elsewhere. But if the Red Cross is actually helping the tsunami victims there, then it wouldn't be fair to these victims if unfounded claims lead us to deprive these victims of their much needed resource. The bottom line isn't if you or equalizer wins this argument. It is what we can do to help, and not further harm, these victims. We can only do that if we know the facts rather than rely on rumors.

My father and grandfather were both veterans of WW2 and were quite pleased with the way the Red Cross behaved towards them as well as their fellow comrades. (Just to clarify things.....they belonged to the Netherlands military at the time.) I have never heard of any negative reports about the Red Cross here. I also wasn't personally involved in 9/11, and although I felt badly about what happened, I can't speak ill about something that I know little to nothing about. Sure, I read about it in the newspapers, saw it on television, and heard people talking about it all the time, however, since I wasn't there, and the fact that I didn't personally know anyone involved, I couldn't imagine what it must have felt like. I guess that I am fortunate to have been spared such personal pain. <SNIP> >>>To all those who are so set on sending the Tsunami victims money, BE >>>CAREFUL!!!!!

As I said, I was posting in Amy's style to make a point. I held myself in character a bit too long -- sorry! The fact that you made the above comments while I was in that character, along with the zinger that you just received from Amy about the Red Cross, should tell you why I made the comments to her that I did, which you picked up on. Do some forensics -- check out the chronology of the posts in which she responded to me to the point where you responded, to the response I made about copying her posting style, followed by her zinger against you, and I think you'll start to see the pattern. eq > > It's not necessary that you believe in karma as long as the critter that > > takes a chunk out of your butt does. ;) [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > -agent smith It's "touche'" cretin.

The speculation > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > www.mimiforsyth.com I always know if we are in for a good snow fall, rain fall, or really cold weather. How? My cats both curl up into the smallest possible position with their tails wrapped around their bodies, and covering their faces. So, whenever I see this, (usually a day in advance), I check my pantry, fridge supplies, and my candle/battery supplies to see if I need to stock up. If for some reason I need to replenish, I go out to get what ever is needed. They haven't failed me yet, and I am always prepared. IMHO, they are the greatest weather predictors. >> One way Californians know about earthquakes before the official warnings: look >> at the "lost dog" ads in the newspaper. Dogs who can, run away.

Animal Planet did a documentary on animal esp, and sure enough, they did take a look at the local newspaper ads to see if just before major storms, earthquakes, tornados, etc, dog and cat missing ads were increased. Amazing isn't it? >>>>One way Californians know about earthquakes before the official warnings: look >>>>at the "lost dog" ads in the newspaper. Dogs who can, run away. [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >major storms, earthquakes, tornados, etc, dog and cat missing ads were >increased. Amazing isn't it? I find it amazing that they would look at local newspaper ads and not mention whether there was some correlation between them and coming earthquakes. Are there any non-entertainment studies that show this? Sounds like junk science to me. I really think they are more sensitive to any atmospheric or planitarium change like maybe barometric pressure. My horses used to winney more and get restless before a bad storm and my old Miss Kitty disapears well before we hear the thunder and hides behind the commode in an interior bathroom on the southwest side of the house. leo/lee >I really think they are more sensitive to any atmospheric or >planitarium change like maybe barometric pressure.

Cows get really stupid right before a storm. I always suspected it was because they're sensitive to changes in barometric pressure, but I really don't know.

They deliberately went to the wrong places and caused a real mess. Then the farmer arrived on the scene, stood there, asked in a loud voice: What's going on here? Imagine, they all went to their places immediately ...!
