I've always wondered what happens at the bottom (the floor of the ocean) when a Tsumani comes over, I guess the devastating power of it lies in the wave, but only as it appoaches the land. Then it picks up the water for the actual flooding of the land, (that is when the ocean suddenly disappears on the beach) If that is so, and you are in the water, I suspect you need to be BEHIND that point, otherwise you get picked up as well?
