Vol 5 Chapter 820: Tsunami
In the United States in the West, this fashion is on Christmas night, while in Asia in the East, it is already the morning of the 26th.
For those West Asian countries along the Indian Ocean, this is a pleasant morning.
Many of the Western tourists who have gone through a night of partying are still sleeping at this time. Those local businesses that have made a lot of income in the past two days are still resting at this time. As the global economy improves, their income is good in this peak season. .
The same goes for local residents, because today happens to be the weekend.
At around eight o'clock in the morning, many people felt the ground move in their sleep. Maybe it was an earthquake? But no one cares.
Since mid-December, people along the Indian Ocean have frequently felt such vibrations. It is said that they are all earthquakes.
But this did not bring any impact or inconvenience to everyone's lives. To such shocks, they are now just like residents of San Francisco, they have become accustomed to it.
Some early risers were pleasantly surprised to see the gift that nature gave them: a large area of low tide appeared in the sea along the coast, and many fish were washed onto the coast.
This is really a surprise! More and more people have joined the ranks of picking fish.
At this time, they didn't think about why the scale of this low tide was a bit large, and no one connected this unusual sight to the vibration they felt in the morning.
Even the ships sailing in the Indian Ocean at this time would not notice that the turbulent ocean was a few centimeters higher than before.
By around ten o'clock, more and more people descended from the room to the pool, from the hotel to the beach. At this time, the turbulent waves, the striker had reached the nearest Indonesia.
They plunged headlong into the shallow coastline and immediately stirred up waves of several meters to ten meters high.
The waves with huge kinetic energy rushed past because of over-development, which could only be used as a decorative forest, to the beach and all the places along the coast.
At this time, those who were basking in the sun by the swimming pool downstairs of the hotel vaguely heard the exclamation sound from the coastal direction. Just before they understood what was going on, they were stunned to see that there was more than water in the pool. There is water everywhere.
Someone stood on the recliner, and some ran towards the hotel, but the sea rose so fast. After only a few steps, the water had risen to the knees. After another two steps, it rose to the hips and then to the nose.
When the panicked people were about to grab their companion's hand, their heads were already underwater.
Those who leaped hard and washed up on the water, looking back, the beach, the swimming pool..., all of this, they were standing in the ocean like that...
…………
Soon after people along the Indian Ocean felt the shaking in the morning, institutions including Indonesia, China and the United States all detected an earthquake.
This earthquake occurred 160 kilometers west of Sumatra at 0:58:55 at 0:58:55 at a depth of 30 kilometers underwater. The magnitude determined by the local agency was 6.8, so they didn’t care too much. The previous few days , North of Macquarie Island in Australia, earthquakes of magnitude 8.1 have been detected. By comparison, this is not worth the fuss.
At this time, the results measured by China and the United States were 8.6 on the Richter scale.
In fact, the intensity of this earthquake is far more than that.
Its strength, at magnitude 9.3, is the second largest earthquake in the world over the past 100 years after the 9.5 magnitude earthquake in Chile in 1960.
Tomorrow, various agencies will increase the magnitude of the earthquake to 9.
What is the concept of a magnitude 9 earthquake? This means that the energy it releases exceeds the sum of the energy consumed by the United States in one month, which is equivalent to the energy released by the 7.5 largest US nuclear bombs (about 25 million tons). Everyone on the boiled 10,000 liters of water.
The Richter scale is calculated in logarithm. The magnitude of the 9.3 earthquake is about 2.5 times that of 9.0!
At this time, this earthquake, whose magnitude was not even clear, made the entire Indian Ocean surging. The tsunami that it caused struck the nearest Indonesia within an hour, and Sri Lanka and India within four hours. , Eventually, continued to East Africa.
Suddenly, some small islands in the Indian Ocean were completely submerged, or even disappeared!
The countries along the Indian Ocean had a messy warning for the tsunami, but related news spread very quickly.
However, the vague news that came out at this time did not attract the attention of non-Indian Ocean coast people, or even people along the Indian Ocean coast. I am afraid that even the people involved at this time did not know the catastrophe they suffered. How big is it?
…………
In Silicon Valley, Feng Yiping hugged his daughter, looked at the special car sent by the racecourse, and drove Meimei away, "It’s okay, if you miss her, we should visit her every day, you see, we all live in our own home at night. It’s the same with Meimei. I need to go back to my home at night."
"It's already ten o'clock, and you have to go to bed," Huang Jingping said.
"Well, goodbye Meimei, I will see you tomorrow,"
Feng Yiping's cell phone suddenly rang again. He saw that it was Meyer's again. "Did you read the news? Feng, there was a tsunami in the Indian Ocean."
Has it happened? "There must be someone in the company who wants to thank you, you know, as far as I know, there are several people who are planning to go there on holiday. They delayed their plans because of your party tomorrow."
When Mayer said these two sentences, Feng Yiping’s cell phone kept ringing an electric warning tone, “I’ll check it now, I’m sorry, I have other calls here,”
"Then I won't bother you. Tomorrow morning, I will be at your party on time."
Meyer's call just hung up, Feng Yiping just said to Huang Jingping that there was a tsunami in the Indian Ocean, and Cummins' call came in, followed by Mike, Merbach, Randolph, Hastings, Page...
These people who called to congratulate Christmas during the day were all saying that Feng Yiping chose to have a party tomorrow. It was really a good choice, and many people avoided this tsunami.
In particular, Mike’s gratitude is the most sincere. He had already set it up and took Lisa and the child to Bali, Thailand.
However, each of them did not appear to be very worried. Feng Yiping only saw the news on TV and realized that the news at this time only mentioned the tsunami, but regarding the consequences of the tsunami, No explanation was given.
Those who watched the news did not know the destructive power of the tsunami at this time. It is estimated that the same is true in China. Jin Ling only sent him a text message to tell him whether any employees were on vacation there at this time.
Feng Yiping was still a little worried. He personally dialed Gao Yiming, Li Ruiyuan, and the person in charge of the Hong Kong hotel.
For domestic employees, he is actually not too worried, because Christmas is not a public holiday, but Hong Kong is different. Christmas in Hong Kong is already a holiday — of course, the Buddha's Birthday is also.
The news returned completely relieved Feng Yiping. Because of the Christmas dinner held by the company last night, all the employees of the three companies in Hong Kong did not take a vacation on the coast of the Indian Ocean.
Some colleagues who planned to take a flight in the morning also cancelled their trips when they saw it.
Those three bluntly said that they also gained a lot of gratitude from colleagues.
"Go to sleep~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Huang Jingping walked in again with a yawn. In her opinion, there was nothing wrong with this tsunami.
Feng Yiping is naturally not easy to say at this time, how serious the tsunami will be, "I still have to call Zuckerberg,"
Energetic Xiaozha really didn't go back to the United States for Christmas this time. Although his company in India is concentrated in the two cities of Bangalore and Mumbai, it shouldn't have any impact.
Because Bangalore is on a plateau in India's inland, Mumbai is on the Arabian coast, but Feng Yiping is still a little worried whether any employees will go to other places in India at this time.
He looked at the map, and the most likely to be affected was Chennai, one of the so-called high-tech golden triangles of India, which was a city by the Indian Ocean.
Fortunately, Zuckerberg who received his call said that they also saw the tsunami that occurred in the Indian Ocean, which was said to have caused a huge disaster in Bangladesh. Chennai was indeed affected. However, he had already counted them immediately. There are no employees in the affected cities in India.
He is the one who has received a call from Feng Yiping and the person who called Feng Yiping, who really has a general understanding of the tsunami.
