It looks exactly like the Christmas tsunami of 2004 except the height is not 20 feet. The West Coast of the USA did receive tsunami waters about 3 and a half feet in height. It was a problem that paused use of most waters for the entire day. Businesses may have suffered and that should be covered by emergency funds. It was not their fault their business had to shut down for an entire day.
Tsunami, when not high and catastrophic, still have a lot of power. They are like a railroad on a track. There is no stopping it until it stops itself. There are strong water forces at work and can do damage and can cause injury and death, too.
It is no small miracle there are no reports of injuries or death. Scientists have worked hard to create a tsunami warning system and this is a clear demonstration it works. The American people should be proud of their accomplishments in assisting in the development and deployment of the tsunami warning system. We are the nation of "can do" spirit and we can make miracles happen.
