The main reasons that people in the USA aren't killed by tsunamis is
because
the worst ones are caused either by major eruptions of underwater
volcanoes
or by a rapid vertical jerk-type earthquake in a subduction zone. Also
the
coasts of the USA are wide open to the ocean and hence don't cause the
focusing effects that often multiply wave size and power.

None of those sources are close to the USA and hence the chances of any
major damage from a tsunami are relatively minor at best.


The above posts, after the Indonesian tsunami, were so absurd that
they stuck in my memory.


There you have it from bang-bang chang - Indonesian is in the United States.
