We're 300 miles inland, but only 400 feet above sea level. If the next tsunami reaches Fairbanks, it would be an epochial event.

Experts say the tsunami could have reached up to seven metres in height and penetrated 300 metres inland.

eh--is there a problem with scale here, like maybe a misplaced decimal? because a 25 ft wave penetrating 1000 ft inland doesn't sound like much to me.

This is why I've invested in some future beachfront property in the Texas Hill Country!
