I was talking to some guys at a Russian coastal oil transfer station at 12am their time - actually thought they were on a oil platform on the other side of an island there. Anyway, when I asked if they were taking any precautions or were warned about tsunami warning due to the earthquake - it was the first they had heard of it. They did some quick searches on it.

One of my co-workers overheard me telling them that there was a 16" wave created and he came in to ask me if I knew that I said inches not feet. The guy on the other end of the line said that it may not sound like a lot, but when it gets into the shallow areas - the water will rise up pretty good. Had a couple of Spinal Tap jokes and the Stonehenge stage set-up after that.
