“The earthquake caused 40 million cubic yards of rock weighing 90 million tons to slide from the northeastern side of Gilbert Inlet from an average height of 2,00 feet with dimensions of 2,400 to 3000 feet and an average thickness of 300 feet. The slide forced the water out as a surge up to a colossal height of 1720 feet, 400 feet higher than the Empire State Building, onto the opposite shore, stripping the trees from the forests to that level. This was not a true tsunami wave as it was not a true wave and its velocity depended on the kinetic energy from the slide. The water forced down Gilbert Inlet formed a true tsunami.”

[to repeat]

“a colossal height of 1720 feet, 400 feet higher than the Empire State Building”
