"That would be very devastating to people near the coast - you could have up to 15, 20, 30m waves if you're right on the coast." New Zealand's warning systems also pale in comparison to what they have in Japan. Tokyo residents for example had about 80 seconds' warning before the shaking reached its peak, and a tsunami warning was issued in just three minutes - well ahead of the waves' arrival on the coast 15 minutes later.[/i] [/quote]

These events have been possible precursors for giant, "megathrust" quakes and appear to have occurred on the undersea plate boundary off Japan two months before the magnitude 9.0 quake in March 2011, which generated a deadly and destructive tsunami.
