And then you can have lens effects, where the waves reflections on the coast, focus unto a point on the coastline. On 3/28/11 14:34 , "Scott Howard" <scott@doc.net.au> wrote:

Remember a wall of tsunami water travels in general at approx 970 kph (600 mph), think about it.
That's in deep water, where the height of the wave might be a few inches at most.
Once it reaches shallow water the speed drops significantly and the height increases.
