“Backwoods: Move away from cliffs and steep embankments where there might be falling debris or a landslide.”
LOL. Right. The earthquake will be over in a minute, maybe two or three tops. In an M9, you can’t stand up or walk. You aren’t going to get very far away from cliffs in that short time with the ground violently shaking.

Premptive strike for Pearl Harbor.

It’s expected that an M9 earthquake will last six minutes.

” and sent a 33-foot high tsunami across the ocean to Japan.” This earthquake was confirmed by Japanese records from 1700.

Yes, I was, and still am in the Seattle area, for the Nisqually quake. I was on the road, actually. Went to my daughter's HS to do something and was returning home. I had stopped at a red light, and while I was there I noticed that the lights themselves (they were strung across the road on wires) were swaying quite a bit. Then I felt something underneath my car. When I got home, finally, hubby said that when it started he went out in our backyard (he was working from home that day). He told me how the worms were coming up from underground.
My youngest daughter was at a different school when this happened, and she noticed the same thing that the worms were coming up from underground. The kids were freaking out by that.

That's big -- the energy of the tsunami spreads out 360° so the energy will drop off by half at square root of 2 of the distance (so, the tsunami at 10 miles from the energy source will be about double what it will be at 14.142135 miles, etc). On this side of the Pacific it must have been a lot of energy.

As well they should!

The 9.0 is nothing more than a guess. There were no quake monitors in 1700.
