I really wish somebody would look into the effectiveness of seawalls for tsunamis. As I mentioned to my old ladies, if you plot the scales of 1000 km, and the depth of the ocean, you get a thin sliver of ocean, like holding water in a cookie pan. Once that water starts to slide, it does not act like a wave, but like a moving slab. Put a seawall in its way, and it just runs up it. Under the right conditions these things run up hundreds of feet.
Just get the generators out of the g-damned basement! Seal them for immersion, and ready to run once the water drains off. Have an underground power cable laid to a safe zone. These are just a few things.
Of course, our own crazy people aren't learning anything from all this. Bring on The Linda to shake some sense into them. :)
