a two foot current, if moving fast enough, can easily knock a person off their feet, sweep them away, and drown them. Never underestimate the power of moving water....after all, it did carve the Grand Canyon.

i called a random number in the Kuril Islands

and said exactly what that guy said, word for word in their language.

BTW, according to some sources, in Severo-Kurilsk (Paramushir Island), the second wave was 18 meters (!) high. Almost 3,000 people were killed on that island. About 300 survived...

で、このカムチャツカ地震、周期は100年程度とされています。­1737年（M8.3）、1841年（M8.6）、1952年（­M9.0）です。次は2040年から2060年前後に発生が予想­されているので気をつけましょう。特にハワイ。

The tsunami generated by this earthquake on November 4, 1952 not only destroyed the city of Severo-Kurilsk and lots of villages and caused more than 2500 deaths. I was surprised to learn that in Hawaii, property damage from these waves was estimated at $800,000-$1,000,000 (1952 dollars)
