I have no idea why I know that, except that I've had nightmares about tsunamis since I was a kid. I don't know how I know it, either, but I thought it was something that a lot if not most people knew. I remember being aware of tsunamis when I visited the site of one in Hawaii. Whether I knew about them before hand, I don't remember. I'm a disaster movie and book aficionado so maybe I picked it up there. I would have though that, among all the tourists there, someone would know it, too, and there would be at least one story of someone warning people away from the beach. I was surprised, though, of the stories of the water just rising as opposed to a big wave curl that broke atop everyone. I would have expected the latter. The former is somewhat less fearsome. BTW, my annual Christmas movie rental this year was The Day After. I didn't find it preachy at all. It's a shame that some environmentalists turned it into a morality play. I thought that the global warming message of the movie was no more that required to establish a premise for the plot.
