[edit] Question about tsunami from Japan hitting Vancouver Island

There was a documentary a while back about a certain First Nations community on Vancouver Island, Sarita, British Columbia, near Port Alberni, that had been the victim of a tsunami that reached it from Japan - in other words, not from the Cascadia earthquake - but I'm not certain of the date; 1790 seems a bit late but that might be it, the Okinawa - Iyejima Islands? - tsunami seems like a better date, but would it have had any strength on the other side of the Pacific? I'll see what I can find out about the Sarita tsunami disaster; must be something online somewhere....Skookum1 (talk) 07:44, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Plural

How would people feel about changing the plural to "tsunamis" throughout the article (including its title)? Wiktionary lists it as a valid plural, and the lack of a final "s" can be needlessly confusing to English readers. --P3d0 (talk) 20:12, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
