George and Bill you are up next..


George here comes your clues.

[EaglesWings1975a]

While we wait for George to come up with his clues, let me mention the difference between Hurricanes and tsunamis.

Hurricanes and tsunamis are both natural disasters that can cause significant destruction, but they differ in their causes, characteristics, and impacts.

Hurricanes are tropical storms that form over warm ocean waters and can produce high winds, heavy rains, and flooding. They are most common in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and can be predicted days in advance, giving people time to prepare or evacuate.

Also, hurricanes can be seen through satellite imaging and last for days at a time. When they do make landfall, they are able to travel across land until they run out of energy from leaving the water and can cause damage in a much broader area than a tsunami can do to their sheer area impacted by the storm.

In contrast, tsunamis are a series of ocean waves that are caused by underwater disturbances such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. They are more common in the Pacific Ocean and can move at extremely high speeds, often with little warning. When tsunamis make landfall, they can cause massive waves that sweep over heavily populated areas suddenly. The suddenness at which a tsunami can occur can catch people by surprise and can kill many, especially when they are large.


And here is what my TABOO card said for tsunamis
