Default Tsunami

Belasungkawa.

My sympahties for the people of Java. Judging from the active seismic movements in that part of the world within the past year or so, I guess the people of the archipelago must be prepared for the possibility of Mother Nature exhibiting her full range of powers in the future. Sometimes, even in the peninsula we can actually feel the mild jolts coming from the volcanic region in the rest of Nusantara, despite supposedly being in a quake free zone (but not too far away, Jakarta is only an hour or so by flight, Medan and Tanjung Pinang is closer.)

Nechesh, I believe what you experienced before the tragedy is what the Javanese might call 'wangsit'.

Well, i think that technically the tsunami had already taken place before i had my dream, but there was certainly no news of it that i heard until i turned the radio on upon waking. It was one of those very intense, hyper-real dreams that is filled with details....sounds, smells and colors.
Sadly, with all the other tensions in the world these days i have heard very little about the situaution in Jawa since.
