That is interesting. Since almost all of them are caused by earthquakes, I wonder if there is a relation between the two scales? I know there are a ton of factors that go into how bad a tsunami is in any given location, but there must be a relation on can derive between the earthquake that causes the wave and the maximum possible intensity of said tsunami.

@Zappygunshot

@@Nevir202 If an earthquake is the cause of a tsunami, then obviously, yes there is a direct relation between their intensities. It forms the initial input of kinetic energy into the water. However, how intense a tsunami is going to be when it hits the shore, and even where it hits the shore, is influenced so much more by things like travel time, topography, water temperature, salinity etc. that just the Richter number of the initial earthquake is simply not that useful for predicting how much damage a given wave might cause. On top of that, tsunamis can be caused by a bunch of other things so that Richter number doesn't even always exist.

I'll have you know as one of those not on your patreon and so left in the poor part of your city I frequently swam in creeks with connecting storm drains and so am no stranger of swimming in raw sewage. So I say bring on the pootsunami.

Buildings in Skylines collapse when the water level is higher than the roof of the building. If you build high rise residential instead of low rise, more buildings survive simply because they're taller.
