How far inland could a tsunami theoretically reach?

Actually the show said it was 33 feet, or about 10 meters, because that’s about the maximum amount of vertical slippage for an earthquake. But of course even a relatively small earthquake can cause an underwater landslide, which can apparently generate a tsunami way out of proportion with the strength of the earthquake.

Pretty neat link about the repeated flood and release of lake missoula eons ago.

Google scablands to really see the bigger picture.

Bet that was a wall of water!
