<<To me, the worst problem with this giant tsunami might be the 500 mph speed of the wave propagation.>> By the time it hit most shores it had slowed to 35 mph. That's still darn fast for water. People slamming into and being slammed by cars, trees, buildings ... Then you have the undertow. It's not a wave, it's a lot of water rising like the ocean is suddenly 30' higher. Then it sucks everything back out to sea. A lot has been posted that there should have been monitors and a warning system. Last time there was a quake like that in the area was 1833, not like it happens often.
