Massive Tsunami Hits Somalia After Giant 7.9 Indian Ocean Quake

Russia’s Kamchatka Branch for Geophysical Survey of the Russian Academy of Science are reporting today that the India Ocean Region has been hit with a massive earthquake that they have measured as being of 7.9 Magnitude and which has caused a giant tsunami that has hit many regions of the African Continents Eastern coastal areas.

One such report from this region we can read as reported by the Malaysian National News Service states:

"A tsunami hit the coast of the self-autonomous region of Puntland in northeast Somalia, a local official confirmed on Monday, saying three people are missing and presumed dead. Saed Waberi, the District Commissioner of Qandala said most of the fishing boats of the residents, who relied mostly on fishing for their livelihood, were swept away by the huge waves which reached half a kilometer inland on Saturday night.

"People have become destitute overnight and we cannot do anything for them," Waberi told Chinese news agency Xinhua by phone from his office in Qandala. Waberi said the district hall, a hotel and other houses near the coast were destroyed by the tsunami which was believed to be the result of an earthquake whose magnitude is not clear.

This is the second time that this region was hit by tsunami. In 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami disaster, nearly 300 people were killed in the Puntland coastal district of Hafun at the northern tip of Somalia."

This massive earthquake follows by days the 7.1 Magnitude Earthquake that hit Japan and the 7.3 Magnitude Earthquake that hit the Southern Pacific Ocean Regions near Vanuatu. 

To the greatest concern, however, among Russian Researchers are the growing instabilities being formed within the Great Southern Ocean that they believe are contributing to the likelihood of even more and catastrophic, earthquakes in the Pacific Ring of Fire Region.

Australian Researchers are, likewise, greatly concerned about the instabilities of the Great Southern Ocean, and as we can read as reported by The Sydney Morning Herald in their article titled "Ocean’s heat transfer system ’at risk’", and which says:

"The impact of global warming on the vast Southern Ocean around Antarctica is starting to pose a threat to ocean currents that distribute heat around the world, Australian scientists say.

Melting ice-sheets and glaciers in Antarctica are releasing fresh water, interfering with the formation of dense "bottom water", which sinks 4-5 kilometres to the ocean floor and helps drive the world’s ocean circulation system.

A slowdown in the system known as "overturning circulation" would affect the way the ocean, which absorbs 85 per cent of atmospheric heat, carries heat around the globe."

Interesting too about this event is that the United States Military has ordered a complete media blackout of news relating to this giant earthquake and tsunami as it has also affected their massive military re-supply base in the Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia, and from which they are currently planning their invasion of Iran along with their British and Australian Allies.
