Water is fascinating. Actually mother nature in general is fascinating. If it wasn't for the havoc it causes I think most people would love to watch this stuff.One of my favorite thing about SCUBA diving is that I get to observe things that seem impossible.It also teaches you to respect mother nature. During a training dive or maybe it was a testing dive I had to wait at the bottom while the instructor did an "emergency accent" run through with my son. It was crystal clear and we could all see each other it was maybe 50-60 feet deep.I'm just kind of floating down at the bottom relaxed. It also happen to be a day a nasty storm was coming in. The current under water was rocking me as if I was in a hammock. At first I thought I would fall asleep because it was very relaxing. Then the current picked up and by the time the instructor got to me it wasn't really a drill anymore because I was as green as you can get and I was trying desperately not to throw up into my regulator. It turned out that the water above and below can also be very different. I have been stuck in currents that can take you miles out in a minute and if you don't get out of that current you are not going to be able to control where you go. Yet you see fish or turtles or dolphins swim in the same conditions with no issue or effort.The force can be awe inspiring yet nothing happens to these animals or the reefs sometimes.

Tsunamis are fascinating to watch. I love watching them when they have those shows on. Volcanoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornado's are great as long as I don't think of the people getting hurt or killed. I saw the coolest thing ever a few years ago on the side of the garden state parkway of all places. A fire had started and it wasn't very big, however the winds kicked up and I saw something I never saw before or since. The fire turned into something that looked like a tornado of fire. Like in the movie The Ten Commandments when Charlton Heston was trying to keep the Egyptians from catching up to them.I called it into 911 but honestly,I just wanted to watch it for a while. It was so cool looking.I didn't know fires could do that. A friend that is a fireman explained it wasn't as rare as I thought. But it was cool!

We've all seen the video of where the tsunami hit japan. TLC had an hour or so on about this. They started at the place it first hit and went down the coast to the other cities it came onshore. They have survivor accounts during the broadcast.

While still a horrendous event, it's still fascinating to see the power of water.

20 years watch the remake of omega man with will smith lol
as for te japan thing , might of been the same one i seen on pbbs tv n the weekend .... nothing like te power of moving water

Have you ever seen the mess a broken pipe in Manhattan can make? It always makes fir big news. Those are old pipes!

I remember my kids studying erosion that can happen from water and I found it fascinating how fast it can go from a small issue to a disaster.The towns have to rebuild our beaches after every storm and before every summer to keep a beach there. I never realized how fast it happens until I moved to the shore.

I feel very bad for those people But I do find it had to think how it effect us like I used to buy Hard drives for work to replace bad drives. I used to pay 60 bucks for a 500 gig drive I watched them going up in price the last time I odered 10 I found are supplier could not give me any the biggest he had was 360 gig for 150 each so I called him and ask what is going on with the hard drive and the other parts I buy. Oh it is a lsrge reseller not mom and pop store. He said the problem is the
sunami that hit japan wiped out the factory so ALL computer part are very had to come by. So that effected us all one way or another way the we do not even think about.
