Tsunamis swells and rip currents?

It is possible that Tsunamis can change the direction of a current as it swells, but will not destroy it completely. After a small tsunami hits the shore, the currents can return to their original course. If a tsunami is very strong, the current will not be able to return to its original position. So, the fate of the currents really depend on whether the tsunami is big or small. In my opinion, a tsunami is unpredictable.


What do you do before a Tsunami?
