4. It was 22 miles deep. They are now calling it 7.8 which is still a biggy

Sunday

The depth may keep the tsunamis from becoming a big problem plus the energy waves may not be focused enough in one direction.

ABC: The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said tsunami waves up to 3 meters (10 feet) were possible on some coasts of the Philippines. Waves up to 1 meter (3 feet) were possible on some coasts of Indonesia and Malaysia.

Smaller tsunami waves were possible in Taiwan, Japan, Guam, Papua New Guinea and several island nations and territories in the western Pacific.
