Hi, guys, hope you're off to a great day, and hopefully wherever you are, you are not experiencing more of the tsunami warnings and

advisories that we received over the last 24 hours. It was an interesting experiment in

news to see this headline come and go the way it did. If you went to bed early on the East

Coast and woke up the next morning a little bit

later. You could have missed the entire sort of emergency situation that was taking place

in Hawaii and elsewhere with tsunami advisories and warnings because of a massive earthquake

that happened off the, well, it would be the far eastern peninsula of Russia. And so a lot of

concern, a lot of action, evacuations, announcements, but then as we got into the next day,

we can see some of that sort of faded away. And hopefully everyone is safe, although definitely

alert as well for anything that is unpredictable. And of course, when you see a big earthquake like that, there's always a question about aftershock. So perhaps the story isn't over, but taking a little bit of a pause. And we haven't seen a tsunami hit Hawaii or hit the coast of the United States, the west coast of the United States, which is a good thing. We don't want to see that. One of the things that I was thinking about, though, as I was up late watching this news, wondering what this story would become, is I was thinking about that word tsunami because everyone was using the word tsunami. And even just mentioning the word tsunami makes you a little bit nervous because you only mention it in an emergency situation. And I thought, oh, it's so interesting.

We're using this word tsunami, but no one's explaining what tsunami means. You know, what does

tsunami mean? What is the origin of that word? And so there's a little backstory to that, which

sets us up for our segment today. So tsunami is actually the merging of two Japanese words,

Sioux meaning harbor and Nami meaning wave.

And the first use of it, according to one report that I read this morning, was a National Geographic magazine in the late 1800s.

And it was in reference to an earthquake wave.

Now we know that a tsunami can happen in other places

besides a harbor, but where you might be able to see it more is in an area that has a lot of ships

and a lot of people and is populated. So tsunami harbor wave, yes, doesn't totally explain

what a tsunami is because a tsunami can happen really all

over the world. But sort of an interesting backstory there that hopefully makes us feel a little

bit smarter. And that's something that I was really thinking about this week related to
