The tsunami hit the main island of Japan and other northeastern islands plus it hit the coast of California and caused a lot of damage to boats and harbors. The damage to people who's lives depended on the boats for fishing were affected severely. The tsunami also hit the Hawaiian Islands and caused a lot of damage.
not now, they just had a tsunami
There are no Pocono Islands. There are the Pocono Mountains which is a vacation mecca that is located in northeastern Pennsylvania. Many people just call them the Poconos.
The tsunami began with a 8.9 earthquake that hit all of Japan. That caused the tsunami. Nearly all of Japan was hit. Other countries were hit too. They were Hawii, New Philipiens, and the west coast of the U.S.A. (California, Washington, Oregon) The tsunami hit JAPAN on the island of Honshu in Sendai. The Iwate-kun prefecture, Miyagi-kun prefecture were destroyed and others were affected.
Japans population is just over 127 million

There are no atmospheric conditions that portend a tsunami because a tsunami is just a wave, not at all tied to the atmosphere.
No, a very big tsunami could just make it past the statue of liberty!
Get to high ground or learn how to swim. However, I don't think you can just outswim a tsunami.
Check on the web for travel to Japan or your specific destination if you are choosing a large city like Tokyo, Osaka-Kyoto, etc. A Google or Yahoo search should find several good informational non-commercial sites, both government and third party. Just a note for those interested, tourism makes up almost 7% of Japans GDP. Despite the devastation in Northern Japan do to the tsunami/earthquake of March 11th, 2011, the west of the country is quite safe and there are many popular tourist destinations both on the main islands and on the Ryukyu Islands like Okinawa.

A tsunami is the result of an underwater earthquake. It's basically just a really, really big wave.
