Right, they knew the tsunami was coming but they didn't know the Earthquake was coming. So US scientists didn't really predict the Earthquake was coming 1.5h before it occurred.
no one said they predicted the quake, they did have 1.5 hours from the time of the quake till the first wave hit ground which would have been plenty of time to move people off the beaches and to higher ground. needless waist of life.
