The atoll oceanside drops off to a depth of over 3000 feet about 200 yards offshore, then drops further to about 6000 feet. By the time the tsunami gets to Kwaj it's probably about a 6-inch ripple in the water totally concealed by the wave action offshore. We do get the occasional rogue wave - one hit Roi-Namur last year and did extensive damage, contaminating the fresh water lens wells.

Any tsunami issues?
We had a warning that was revoked. Didn't see anything exciting. I've heard it's quite rare for one to make it to us with any power behind it.
