Is this a metaphor for the tidal wave of debt that is mounting and about to sweep us all out to bankrupt-sea?
There is a most marvelous monument to the lost children and teachers who were trapped in that bowl-shaped park that day. I attended it on the 50th anniversary and it is well attended each anniversary. It is a sad and sacred place today and there are many on the beautiful island of Hawaii who recall that long ago tragedy as if it were yesterday. I don’t know what the point is you are trying to make, but a tsunami in 1946 was always a surprise, and arrived and destroyed and moved on in a soulless way leaving behind devastated families and a ruined landscape.
The orientation of the park to the beach is such that one sees only a small horizon and nobody can have imagined what the receding ocean foretold. That lack of understanding changed forever on that day, and the modern tsunami watch for the Pacific ocean was born. The events of that day are not to be mocked and the hard lessons have been learned.

When the water moves out, run away. A English schoolgirl’s knowledge of this saved her family in Indonesia.

DP,
I think Steve was just saying one should not rush onto a beach that has rapidly receding water.
Where’s the mocking in saying “Don’t do this”??
Mocking would possibly be saying something like: “People who rush onto a beach during a tsunami should be recommended for a Darwin Award.”

Everyone should have been taught that lesson at an early age. Whether it be tsunami or storm surges when the water comes in it has to go back out and if it retreats fast it will come back fast. Not learning the lesson has lead to loss of life due to storm surges.
This lesson was repeated last week in South West Washington State when two school children were washed out by a rip tide because they wanted to “Feel the Waves”.
