As dangerous as
tsunamis are they do not happen very often. You should not let this
natural hazard diminish your enjoyment of the beach and ocean. But,
if you think a tsunami may be coming, the ground shakes under your
feet or you hear there is a warning,
 tell your relatives and friends, and
Move
Quickly
to
Higher
Ground! |

Shore of Oahu, Hawaii. During the tsunami generated by the March 9,

minutes to inundate the shoreline. (Honolulu Star- Bulletin)
