Guest guest Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 TRIVANDRUM, India (AFP) - Indian police have said that thousands of villagers were evacuated after a surge of sea water in southern Kerala state, which was lashed by the December 26 tsunamis. Sea water crashed into Vypeen island and then swept into the coastal villages of Edavanakkad, Puthu Vype and Chappa in Kerala's Ernakulam district, police said Friday. The local meteorological department said the sudden surge of water was caused by high tides. "Police helped district authorities evacuate between 8,000 and 10,000 people living in high-risk areas as water gushed into Ernakulam's coastal villages just before dawn on Friday," local police chief R. Srelekha told AFP by telephone. "The water has started receding but people have been asked not to go out in their fishing boats as the sea still looks dangerous. In any case most people are too scared to think of taking any chances as the tsunami is fresh in their mind," he added. Some 10,273 people died while 5,823 were missing since December 26 when towering waves slammed into the Indian states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala and the Andaman and Nicobar archipelago in the Indian Ocean. ************** Aikya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 In Santa Cruz county this week, roads were closed due to a high sea swell or surge. About 100 campers or campsites were evacuated to higher ground. I wonder if the cause of the 2 events is related.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 It could be related. The oceans are really only one body of water. The surfers in San Francisco have been enjoying especially high waves. I'm not up on things that influence especially high tides except for the full moon or eclipses. Is it full moon? Have I been otside taking a walk in the evening so I would know? No. Aikya Ammachi, wrote: > In Santa Cruz county this week, roads were closed due to a high sea swell or surge.
