I hope its a fizzer too.
But my understanding of a Tsunami is that its not the size of the wave, but the volume of water , and the fact that the oceans level rises to the point where it rapidly moves and floods an area.
A foot or so rise in water level could do plenty of damage.
Quickly rising water can be very very dangerous especially with our heavily populated coastal areas.
We live near a coastal lagoon that flodds in heavy rain....Never mind a Tsunami.
My advise is keep an eye on the weather channels and sites for a day or so.
