Steve's Dominica and Dominica Weekly blog about a report which suggests that “Dominica is set to trigger a tsunami which may kill 30,000 in Guadeloupe.” Steve adds: “I don't know which is worse: the armchair scientist painting a Hollywood-style scenario, or the reporter dramatically renaming our mountain ‘Devil's Peak' to fit in with the scary scenario.”

we are sooo scared in dominica we pray that god will make a way for us
according to the director of the uwi src, you should be more concerned (scared/afraid/frightened) about more possible scenarios such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricane impacts, flooding and landslides affecting dominica, rather than a rare tsunami event occuring.
