NPS said this morning that the quake caused a part of the Berma plate 600 miles long 100s of feet wide to raise between 10-15 feet. I could not even comprehend how much enegy that this would take. An early warning system could have detected the raise of a few inches out at sea an hour before the wave hit shore. People could have gotten at least a few miles inland in that time by foot. Sure their homes would have still been destroyed, but the loss of life would have been greatly reduced.
But no that would be to easy! ...........
