Any number of factors may have contributed to this. Since seismic activity has been ruled out, this is my guess. I only wish I could answer some of the Korea Finders! :razz: GI, without any current research or references, I believe this was a rogue wave. Any number of factors may have contributed to this.

I don't know if a giant wave is still called a tsunami if it isn't caused by an earthquake. Does anyone else know?

He thought an advisory would have been possible and this makes sense. I think a tsunami warning would be less possible or useful as the wave would arrive as people were looking down at their phones: the Indonesian tsunami travelled at hundreds of km/hr and there just isn't much travelling distance in the Yellow or East Seas. I understand that a big wave can knock you around no matter who you are but I wonder if more accessible swimming lessons would help. Again, the Indonesian Tsunami would easily have overwhelmed my swimming skills (and I am an unusually strong swimmer) but knowing how to swim would help, right?
