This is intresting:

Q: In all my surfing at tsunami related sites, none of them could provide me data of the highest tsunami ever recorded in human history. --Eran Gafni

A: In a narrow Alaskan bay about 250 miles west of Juneau, the highest tsunami ever recorded loomed to a height of 1,700 feet (520 meters)-almost twice as tall as the Eiffel Tower.

i once had a book of natural disasters that mentioned this event (took place in 195 and showed a sketch of what it may have looked like...unreal.

There was also another Tsunami in 1964 in Alaska. There's some video of the aftermath and some others as well ...

In 1960 the largest Earthquake ever recorded happened in Chile (9.5 on the Ricter scale). The resulting Tsunami went all the way across the pacific from South America and killed people in Hawaii and Japan.

Canada finally donated something.. $40 million.. it took a little too long for my liking.. Why haven't we sent DART yet.. Dart is our Disaster aid program..

Thanks for the donation links!! I'm not super religious but I wish along with my donation, I could send a Big Box of Prayers for them to open up & feel the love sent to them from people all over the world... I can't imagine the horrible sadness that must be sweeping them right now!! It makes me sad :cry:

updated to 116,000...this'll probably top around 200K when all is said and done..

I seriously don't believe 120,000 people are dead. I'm guessing people are just throwing random numbers out as estimates for all the people that evacuated
