no shit :DumbAss: ...but none of them got washed up or were drug in by the water.. i thought that maybe the water force would have pushed some fish inland..

i mean water speed ...tsunamis get up to 500 kph but how fast was it once it hit land and how fast did it travel

#331524Post 128 of 1302005-01-04

^^ 45kph when it reached land. Don't know how fast it did travel. Tsunamis can even reach a speed of 900kph.

But that's only in open water, right? When it reaches the shore and the water get shallower, it slows down and rises.

^^ True. That's why I wrote: 45kph when it hit the shores. :wink:
