Folks who live along the coast usually know about storm surge and tsunami (also called "seismic sea waves" or incorrectly, "tidal waves"). With storm surge, you usually have a few days' notice that the storm will raise coastal water levels... seasonal floods also provide plenty of warning. But with tsunami, you usually don't get much warning (sometimes, none at all--except for the weird and brief pulling out of the water from the coastline--only to bring in hugely massive water height: the tsunami). This Squidoo lens provides some description and suggestions for protecting yourself against these natural and yes, common phenomenon!
