So, if you are on Florida's east coast the trick would be to get a fast boat and get out as far as you can into deep water. Out there you should only feel the meter high wave pass. Of course, you would have no port to go back to. How about on Florida's west coast? With Florida being so flat, can we expect Cinderella's castle to be washed into the Gulf?

There would also be a lot less traffic if you went out to sea instead of trying to run inland. The question I have is: How far out must one go to insure that the wave passes under your boat rather than over it? From simple observation one can see that larger waves tend to break farther from shore. Does a megasunami begin to break in 50 ft deep water? 100 ft? 200 ft? Is it possible that the megasunami would break so far out that it would expend most of its energy before reaching the coast?
