Dammit, I forgot to add that!

It probably wont happen.
These things are pretty rare, and I think the last warning in Japan came to nothing.

I just called my wife (she's Japanese) and said "Honey, there's a tsunami warning for Japan!" And she said "So? We get those all the time..."
I felt stupid and told her I'd call her later...damn you Western media!

You know that scene in Spinal Tap when the too small scale model of Stonehenge descends on the stage and the midget dances around it.

So basically in this case, tsunami = wave then?
You couldn't even surf that.

OMG!!! 16 inches!!! I hope everybody is ok....
- moth0
a tsunami isn't really a wave though.
The "width" of a 6m wave might be 1m across. The "width" of a 6m tsunami might go for 1000's of m. Like a continuous wave... or so I understand it.

Year, it's not really a wave, technically speaking...

Tsunamis are so last year.

yeah sounds like this was blown way out of proportion from the get go, but you never know – the height of the tsunami is far less important than the power behind it. and 16 inches becomes a lot nastier once it comes up on shallow water.
a really bad tsunami in Kona in the 40s (ish) killed loads of people, and it was only a 1 inch tsunami technically speaking - then it came ashore and got massive because it was moving so fast
