neave Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Aye there are other sources saying reported waves of TEN FEET. HOPE THIS DOES NOT CAUSE ANY LOSS OF LIFE. I CAN SEE WHY THEY HAVE GOT TO TAKE NO CHANCES WITH THESE KIND OF QUAKE MAGNITUDES. When they say waves of 10ft, ml, I presume they mean the waves were 10ft tall when they hit land and travelled across that land at that height, as opposed to being 10ft tall when they crashed onshore?

Sooperstar Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Stuart Weinstein of the PTWC told the BBC that the agency was monitoring the situation. In 2004, a Boxing Day quake in the Indian Ocean generated a powerful tsunami that killed tens of thousands people in Asia. Mr Weinstein said Tuesday's quake was "much smaller" than that tsunami, and only had 3% of the energy generated by the 2004 quake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
