02:17the capacity is now being judged.
02:19For the residents of Lebanon,
02:21this is the first time that the early signs of a tsunami have been seen.
02:26This means that the tsunami is likely to hit
02:29within a few minutes, depending on the weather.
02:32Also, on Saturday,
02:34according to the tsunami,
02:36there is a submarine landslide,
02:38submarine volcanic eruption,
02:40and asteroid impact.
02:43Natural signs of an impending tsunami.
02:45If there's a strong shaking on the coastline,
02:47you can hardly stand up.
02:49And if you could see the sea level receding,
02:53and if you could hear roaring sounds coming from the sea,
02:56then don't wait for us to issue a tsunami warning.
