50 cm tsunami forecast for Japan after quake

Not another tsunami! Run for the hills, women and children first. This tsunami is over...one foot tall!

Wait a fucking second. 50cm is about 20 inches right? That's a little under two feet. Aren't normal waves usually bigger than that? I know the Japanese are typically a short people but come on, lets not get carried away here.

There were no reports of injuries or major damage from the tsunami waves. You'd have to be a fucking idiot to get hurt by a two foot wave. I can appreciate the warning considering Japan is one of the most earthquake-prone countries on the planet. I read somewhere they experience a tremor every five minutes. No wonder the Japanese are so work-oriented. They're trying to keep their minds off of the consistent reminder that at anytime the ground could open up and swallow them. Or a gigantic lizard could stomp through the cities.
