[–] LeoPanthera 4y ago ↗ This video of the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake in real time is amazing:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErqM10AXkOQ [–] junon 4y ago ↗ That was wild to watch, thanks for the link.If anyone knows, why were the tsunami height estimates off so much? The actual heights were 2-4x larger than anticipated. [–] LeoPanthera 4y ago ↗ In short, the prediction models were only designed for the most common tsunami sizes, and didn't even try to predict larger ones. This has now been changed.

[–] daviddisco 4y ago ↗ Does anyone know why there are so many sensors in Alaska? Looks like it has more than the rest of the country combined. [–] nkoren 4y ago ↗ I had the same question. Here's the answer: http://www.usarray.org/Alaska [–] dylan604 4y ago ↗ It's part of the ring of fire, so I'd expect it to have a lot.
