December, 2004: A subduction zone earthquake unleashes a massive tsunami that kills more then a quarter-of-a-million people along the Pacific Ocean.
August, 2005: A massive storm devastates 90,000 square miles of American coastland, and citizens - completely cut off from the modern world - wait days, even weeks, for help to come.
Two massive disasters, unequaled in collective memory, rearranged the thinking process of millions of Americans. Technology, wealth, early warning systems, all of it meant nothing as people watched the tragedies unfold, and around the country, people started to finally realize: This could happen to us.
