After checking your data records, you discover that the largest tsunami wave recorded in BC was a 30m (98 feet) wave on Vancouver Island! It was generated by an Alaskan earthquake in 1946. If another powerful earthquake occurs near BC we can expect tsunamis created directly by the earthquake, and indirectly by landslides that are created by the same earthquake. How fast does a tsunami travel?
