Tsunami Warning Sign

Sometimes you just have to wonder...

Last year we went to Myrtle Beach around Thanksgiving to visit with family.

I noticed this sign on the beach…  Now, I don’t want to make light of the power and danger involved in a tsunami.  We have all seen the devastation and loss of life from the recent tsunamis in Japan and elsewhere… but the sign strikes me as a little humorous.

Have we reached a point where we have to be told to stay off of the beach when there is a tsunami coming?  And if there are waves like that (which I hear tsunami waves do NOT look like), our hero on the sign is WAY late to begin the running…

Bottom line… the sign is funny, but don’t laugh at a tsunami.
