Not to be outdone by Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virgina, Vermont, and probably a few more landlocked ones I forgot (I left in the Great Lakes states...you never know)

That should make my in-laws happy being that they live on Oahu, Hawaii.
After living there for a year, I did notice they do take the tsunami warnings very serious.

I think the whole tsunami preparedness is a great thing. I wish more people on the east coast were more aware of tsunamis, as rare as they are here.

Edit---cut out the rest of my post, sorry, had some bad info.
