I never get used to seeing that footage, Rob.
I wonder how far inland the Tsunami waves went.
Two miles?
Five miles?
Ten?
If there were and earthquake of similar magnitude in, say, Iceland or the Canary Islands, those tsunami waves would be hitting the Atlantic coast of the U.S. and Europe, and likely many of us posting on these boards would be severely impacted, if not dead.
A few years ago with Wilma and Katrina storms, it was estimated that the storm surge would flood areas 11 to 15 miles inland in Florida. And in Dade and Broward counties, if you go much further West than that, you're in the evergades. What looks like land on a map is actually swamp (i.e., underwater).
