Did a tsunami hit after Haiti's earthquake?
Yes, there were reports of a small tsunami hitting the coast of Haiti after the 2010 earthquake. However, the damage caused by the tsunami was minimal compared to the devastation from the earthquake.
Did the airport of Japan get destroyed by the tsunami?
There are many airports in Japan. The small airport at Sendai was destroyed but all others are still operating.
What is it when a tsunamis are only a few feet high in?
A tsunami that is only a few feet high in is typically considered a minor or small tsunami. While it may not cause widespread damage or destruction, even small tsunamis can be dangerous to coastal areas and should be taken seriously in terms of evacuation and preparedness.
What kind of harm does a tsunami do?
A tsunami can cause widespread destruction by flooding coastal areas with powerful and fast-moving waves. It can result in loss of life, damage to infrastructure, and displacement of populations. The force of a tsunami can also erode coastlines and cause significant economic and environmental impacts.
What if a tsunami hit Mort Macquarie would everyone get wiped out since it is a small town?
In the event of a tsunami hitting Port Macquarie, the impact would depend on various factors such as the size and strength of the tsunami, warning systems in place, and evacuation procedures. While a tsunami could cause significant damage in a small town like Port Macquarie, it is unlikely that everyone would be wiped out if proper precautions and emergency responses are followed. It is crucial for residents to be aware of evacuation routes and have a solid emergency plan in place.

What was the smallest tsunami that caused damage?
3 to 4 ft waves of the Fukashima tsunami of 2011 reached the coasts of Oregon and California. Some boats tied up at piers where the waves washed in were seriously damaged by the waves smashing the boats up against each other and the piers. From news media reports of the damage, I think the boat owners were totally surprised by the amount of damage those small waves caused.
Does tornadoes cause more damage than a tsunami?
Generally not. A tsunami can usually cause more damage because it affects a bigger area. However, a tornado can often cause worse damage in a small area.
Can people cause tsunamis?
This is hard to answer because of the definition of tsunami. Certainly people are not able to create tsunamis like the one that struck Japan recently. However some tsunamis are small and of little note. Since tsunamis can be caused by underwater faults, small faults and thus small water pulses can be caused by the pumping of oil from under the sea. Also, the hydrogen bomb test at Bikini Atoll caused a tsunami like wave. I'm not sure whether is was considered an official tsunami, but some definitions say tsunamis are generated by any large, impulsive displacement of the sea level. The hydrogen bomb certainly caused a large, impulsive displacement of the sea level so by this definition it caused a tsunami.

What damage is done after a tsunami hits?
It depends if it's a big tsunami or a small one. Big ones: They destroy houses, kill people, tear down trees, flood streets and the area and destroy whatever it can in it's path! :O
How can the damage you minimized before tsunami struck in sumatra in 2004?
With proper mitigation, evacuation and informatory systems damage can be minimized leaving minimum deaths but loss of property can only be prevented to a very small extent.
Does an earthquake comes before tsunami?
Yes, a small shift underwater is the cause of a tsunami.
How is the damage from a tsunami different from that of a tornado?
Damage from a tsunami is caused by water and is often worse that than caused by a tornado. The water surges inland, causing major flooding. Vehicles and weakly anchored structures turn into floating debris that can act as battering rams. Buildings and roads may be washed away. Then the water rushes back out to sea, carrying debris, vehicles, and sometimes buildings and people with it. Things that remain on land will suffer damage from being soaked in muddy seawater. Damage from a tsunami occurs in coastal areas and may extend a few hundred feet to a few miles inland. Tsunami damage is usually more widespread than tornado damage and is compounded by the fact that population centers tend to cluster along the coast line. Damage in a tornado is caused by wind and sometimes by flying debris. Most tornadoes do not cause very severe damage. Trees will be uprooted and snapped, and houses will suffer damage to their roofs, siding, and windows. Weak structures may collapse. Stronger tornadoes can remove the roof and walls from stronger buildings and lift vehicles into the air. In such tornadoes well anchored buildings are essentially destroyed from the top down. Only the most violent tornadoes, in the strongest one percent, can destroy entire neighborhoods and sweep away well build structures, and even that is usually limited to a relatively small portion of the path. Tornado damage usually follows a relatively straight, narrow path, with most only directly impacting a relatively small geographic area rarely more than a mile wide and a few tens of miles long.
How small is the smallest pumpkin?
small
Did the airport of Japan get destroyed by the tsunami?

How much damage can a hurricane do to a small city?
It depends on what it is classified on the Fujita scale, but usually, a bunch of damage is caused. It can't occur unless it is in or near water, anyways.
