Tsunami simulation an inexact science

Even knowing undersea floor, it's tough developing wave-effect maps for S.F. Bay

So here is a possible answer to why God allows such things as tsunamis to happen. Nations must work together and trust each other to protect against such disasters. But see the following:

"But there's another, more strategic reason. Some nations, especially those in politically tense regions, hesitate to reveal such coastal topographic data. They fear that such data could be exploited by enemy navies, particularly submarines, whose sonar guidance systems tend to be confused in the noisy acoustic environment of coastlines. "

I thinks it is dangerous, and usually foolish, to pretend to know the mind of God. But when you come across something like this (i.e. work together, or else) you are probably getting a taste of Divine Thinking.

Does this make America, whose sonar systems are unequaled, culpable? Perhaps, but it is also the lack of trust between nations that is at fault too.
