It's like 7 am there though. That's a rude wake up call.

damn ocean, you scary
It seems to be a lot of big waves though from this feed, and not a giant surge. Granted, there is way too much #### all over the screen.

Nature's alarm clock today. A 6 am house shaking, great way to start your day! haha
Hopefully the waves stay relatively small and there's no damage up North.

I don't know a lot about Tsunami's but they're posting 30 cm's that doesn't seem very big.
That's only like 12 inches of water.

No, 30cm isn't very high. The thing to remember is that it isn't like a single small wave hitting the shore. These things can be a kilometer or so long and that's a lot of volume. I don't expect any major damage from this one though, as Japan is generally very well prepared for quakes and tsunamis.
Just don't go surfing today.

How big was the bad one a few years back for context?

13-15 meters, the energy release of the 2011 earthquake was also several hundred times greater.

Yea, was just reading about it. Some areas appear to have seen waves up to 130 feet. So a 15ft tsunami is not much in comparison (although still substantial).

impact was heard 50 miles (80 km) away,[6] and the sudden displacement of water resulted in a megatsunami that destroyed vegetation up to 1,722 feet (525 m) above the height of the bay and a wave that traveled across the bay with a crest reported by witnesses to be on the order of 98 feet (30 m) in height
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1958_L...ay_megatsunami
It destroy vegetation that high, but was not that high itself. The volume of displaced water just went up that high
