Weather Forecast Depends on World Data

Through the centuries, nations have battled each other for control, but the weather is an element none of them can control. World leaders realize this and have been banding together to help them predict this essential element of our lives because they all need an accurate weather forecast.

I had vastly underestimated the damage a tsunami can do, and the last two days, after reading about the 8.3 magnitude earthquake and tsunami that followed, I also got to watch the Pacific Ocean's tsunami warning system in action.
