Tsunami

[rabbit]

This sign has just appeared at my local beach in Southern Brittany.

[Lori]

Gee, not very comforting.

[Blaze]

Thank you, Rabbit !!

[Lori]

Okay, Poisson d'Avril. I'm slow.

[Bayleaf]

I thought poisson d'avril usually ended at midday ......

[Polly]

I’m obviously even slower off the mark than Lori!

[Liz]

One of the better ones!

The sign was on the side of the local SNSM/Lifeguard station. I assume it was an April Fool joke. However when I signed the Compromis for our house the disclosures did include the risk of Tsunami. The Cumbre Vieja tsunami hazard refers to the risk that a volcanic eruption on the island of La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain, could cause a large landslide triggering a megatsunami in the Atlantic Ocean.

I am an SNSM secouriste-équipier, and the SNSM certainly wouldn't put such a sign up as a joke !
Thanks for the info, Rabbit - I gather you're far from the only department to have a tsunami warning. We're in a zone at risk of submersion by the sea (PPRSM). I believe this is going to be looked into and perhaps modified.

No I agrée Blaze, more likely to be a local wag!
