I guess the movie Deep Impact got it pretty close.

A question, if I may.....can anyone explain why the water on the shore at first gets sucked out to sea , as the wave nears?

In Thailiand, they said the sea bottom was exposed for over a thousand feet from the normal shoreline..

A tsunami is made up of a series of travelling ocean waves of extremely long wavelength. They are triggered by large disturbances such as earthquakes, undersea volcanic eruptions or deep sea landslides.

Or Ted Kennedy immediately belly flopping off the side of his yacht to get a bottle of bourbon he knocked overboard.

Fascinating video of the tsunami hitting a SE Asian beach resort (Thailand?) is found at this link: http://homepage.mac.com/jlgolson/tsunami.wmv

Revelation 16:18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. 20And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

Ah, you ain't seen nuthin' yet!

I just heard a reputable scientist say it is unlikely we would have a tsunami on the east coast because the plates move horizontally not vertically.

Does this mean beach front real estate prices will decrease?
