50 cm tsunami forecast for Japan after quake

Is that technically a tsunami? a 12 inch wave along the Japanese coast... doesnt that happen very often? Maybe theres some sort of definition that its a tsunami if caused by a quake or something

Tidal waves are classified as tsunamis by the length of the wave, not really the height. Most people dont know that, so considered yourself edumucated.
