3. there may be a wave, but it is not that huge...

certainly not like you see in the movies... it is a tide that goes up really fast, and then goes away just as fast, only to repeat the process until the energy is liberated.

The only warning is that the sea will retreat a few minutes before the water starts rising. In Asia's tsunami, there were places where the water went back up to 500 meters or more.
