The last years Tsunami was cause by the 2 plates breaking underneath the Phi Phi islands @ 8 15am. It caused the ground to rise up to 40 feet for 750 miles, which  cause an earthquake of 9.5 on the scale. They are predicting that the next country to be hit with a Tsunami is Samaliya.  And US is next... Oregon, Washington and all NW states, BEWARE.  AMERICA'S TSUNAMI, ARE WE NEXT? When they cannot predict, however, they say it might be in the next 1000 years or it might happen tommorow.

http://www.ga.gov.au/urban/factsheets/tsunami4.jsp\n\nA tsunami is recorded on Australia's coastline about once every two years. However, most are very small and classified low risk. However, several large tsunamis have hit Australia's north-west coast. This area is classified moderate risk, due to its proximity to Indonesia and other countries where large earthquakes and volcanic eruptions can occur, so this region has a moderate tsunami risk.\nThe huge 1883 volcanic eruption of Krakatau in Indonesia produced tsunamis up to 40 metres high. These tsunamis killed 36,000 people, carried boats three kilometres inland and moved 100 tonne blocks of reef limestone. The tsunamis travelled across the Pacific and Indian Oceans and caused a six metre tsunami on the north west coast of Australia.\nIn the last 1000 years the Australian coast may have experienced large tsunamis because shells, coral and large boulders have been found 20-30 metres above sea level and several kilometres inland. On 22 August 2003 a huge earthquake occurred just off the south-west coast of New Zealand, 2500 kilometres from Australia's east coast. Fortunately this event only caused a small local tsunami less than a metre high.

The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, which had a magnitude of 9.15, triggered a series of lethal tsunamis on  December 26, 2004 that killed approximately 230,000 people (including 168,000 in Indonesia alone), making it the deadliest tsunami in recorded history.[7] The tsunami killed people over an area ranging from the immediate vicinity of the quake in Indonesia, Thailand and the north-western coast of Malaysia to thousands of kilometres away in Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, and even as far as Somalia, Kenya and Tanzania in eastern Africa. The disaster prompted a huge worldwide effort to help victims of the tragedy, with billions of dollars being raised for disaster relief.\n\nUnlike in the Pacific Ocean, there was no organized alert service covering the Indian Ocean. This was in part due to the absence of major tsunami events between 1883 (the Krakatoa eruption, which killed 36,000 people) and 2004. In light of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, UNESCO and other world bodies have called for a global tsunami monitoring system.

The word Tsunami is Japanese and they been hit a number of times over their history. As for what would happen if hit today, it would depend on where got hit. If not one of the industrial or commercial centers such as Tokyo, etc.... their would be loss of life and a number of ill effects but Japan would survive. If it his one of these major areas.... their would be a major disruption of trade and the economy could become unstable, this would also affect the stock markets not only in Japan but everywhere else in the world, since Japanese goods are exported everywhere including the United States.

My understanding is that the guy who ran the site lives in Thailand and has just had better things to do since the tsunami.  \n\nThis is not a joke.  I swear, the guy really is from Thailand, and if you visited the site regularly, he made mention of it.  The site stopped being update regularly just after the Tsunami hit in December 2004.
