That checks out
Does alert mean there is a tsunami or just one is possible? >

Possible. Tsunamis are tricky, it's best to assume they're happening and then rule them out afterwards. >

Possibly a dumb question, but are tsunamis in the Mediterranean as big a threat as they are in the world's major oceans? 
In my head at least as the Mediterranean isn't nearly as deep and the volume of water isn't as great so the capacity for destruction might be lessened. >

Also: Why Italy? There’s this whole country (Greece) in between Turkey and Italy - wouldn’t that shield Italy from most or all tsunami threat? >

This is what I'm confused about. Cyprus is even closer, on clear days you can see turkey with the naked eye, and they didn't feel anything, atleast according to my grandpa. But Italy gets a tsunami warning? >

Cyprus reported loads of shocks no? >

From the words of the Japanese tsunami survivors, “ I underestimated the power of the tsunami, Go Farther than you think and Higher than you think” >

You watched the same nhk world video on YouTube didn't you. Very eye opening. My heart goes out to anyone experiencing natural disasters, because it's the few times we really get to understand our place in nature. Sadly there are many that don't make it out unharmed and no one is ever the same after such events. >

How does an earthquake so far inland have a tsunami risk? >

I get how it affected Iraq and Greece, but how was the UK affected? >

Gibraltar. >

I’d think Cyprus >

Turkey pipeline was destroyed 0.0 >

Fuck man my hometown is basically blowing up >

Just a reminder the doomsday clock almost reduced 90 seconds recently
