There are four origins: Fault movement of the ocean floor (generating an earthquake); a huge underwater landslide; an eruption or collapse of an underwater volcano; or an asteroid or comet hitting the water. In order to create a tsunamis, any/all of these events need to happen underwater. (An earthquake along the San Andreas Fault (So Cal) would’nt produce a tsunamis because it’s on land.) VEHICLES AUTUMN IN THE COUNTRY It’s coming fall in Fremont. We get some morning chills. The leaves are off the quakies, and there’s snow up in the hills. The hunters have their guns out. The elk are laying low, And the cowherds wander down the road, bellerin’ as they go. They’re heading for their winter range. The cowboys ride behind. They had grass feed all summer, now they’ll get a different kind. But cows ain’t all that fussy about what stuff they ate. Some goes into meat and fat, and some they defecate.

Indonesia with it’s many islands and dense coastal populations suffers the most such events. 4) What about the West Coast of the US? The So Cal coastal islands and underwater ridges provide natural barriers to tsunamis. By the time the most recent tsunamis reached San Diego, it was just three inches high! 5) Surviving a tsunamis...If visiting any of these nations and having felt the earth shake: Move to higher ground or go to the upper floors of a wellconstructed building - FAST!
