Having lived on Kwajalein during the Good Friday tsunami from Alaska -
that one smashed into Hawaii and was 2M or 6' at Kwaj.  It hit in Low

so the reef took the hit, not the houses or people.

Moved out of earthquake country of Santa Cruz county into Hurricane
country of
deep east Texas.  What's next...
