Comment on The Orphan Tsunami of 1700 [pdf]parentComments−jmward0111moI'm not an expert by any means, but I think the issue with seawalls is they are built to stop waves, not something that acts more like the ocean getting deeper. The water a tsunami brings in is pretty different than a simple wave on the ocean.
