More than 300,000 people are dead. Bodies wash ashore in a dozen countries. A train, loaded with a thousand passengers and their luggage, is swept away, engine, tracks, and all. Cars, trucks, buses, and boats are pushed more than a mile inland by the rushing water. Some of the waves were reported to be 50 feet high.

The ocean in San Diego, half a world away, rose 10 inches. It is a small world, after all.

The "sea wall" at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) in Southern California is 35 feet tall, and about 35 years old. It could not have ...
