Tsunami Hazard Zone

Mother nature is a powerful beast and we often marvel at her beauty but often forget about the destruction she can do in just a moments notice but while travelling along the Oregon Coast we were often reminded by signs like this one.

Admittedly, one of my favourite sounds is hearing the roaring of the waves as they come inland but I can also hear the waters power too and have often wondered why people would ever endanger themselves and take the risks to live in these zones but after spending the day on the coast I can see why they are so tempted.
