This truck at Lowell Point, 2 miles from Seward, Alaska, was bent around a tree by the surge waves generated by the underwater landslides along the Seward waterfront. The truck was about 32 feet above water level at the time of the earthquake.

The only disasters we have here in the center of Michigan are manmade. The epicenter is usually in Lansing.

Well, one would hope that there would be advance warning. Can’t prevent property loss, but it can save lives.

Isn’t a tsunami a tidal wave? Why don’t we just say tidal wave?

Frantic people clogging the escape routes. Don’t know how much warning is needed.

A few of these killer waves might help 0b0z0’s health care plans.

Anybody got any idea where I might find some information regarding the predicted propagation of a Tsunami into Puget Sound?
I’m wondering... if there’s a Tsunami that comes across the Pacific and strikes the WA coast... how far will it ingress up the Straits and around into the sound? I don’t think Tsunamis turn corners very well, but they do a little bit... and there could be a channelling effect as it came throught the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
Curious...

Because there is nothing tidal about a wave generated by a large water displacement. Tidal bores such as the waves on the Amazon and Severn rivers are actual waves caused by the tide coming up a river this could be considered a tidal wave which is much different than a tsunami.
