Tsunamis around 50 cm (20 inches) high were expected to hit the Izu islands around 3:30 p.m. (0630 GMT), it added.

Is the definition of a tsunami "wave caused by earthquake"? I always figured the name was supposed to imply a minimum height of some kind... but now I'm not sure.

Who's next? Russia or US?

Apparently we had a tsunami alert for the island today. I just found out -- oops.

Any chance the Pacific NorthWest could be affected?

Hey, we actually HAD a tsunami! It was on the order of several inches, but it did wash up some REALLY FUNKY fish. A friend sent me some pictures (work server died, don't have them here right now), and there was some twisted stuff in there -- lizard fish, prickly shark, coffinfish, other strange oddities.
