Yeah, I imagine even a 1ft tidal wave would be enough to sweep a person or a small car away.
Apparently, there are a whole mess of magnitude scales. The 8.8 and 9.0 are given in “Mw” scale,which estimates total energy. It doesn’t differentiate between friction and the seismic wave energies.
You’re right. 1952 Severo-Kurilsk
Almost the same spot too. 15-18m tsunami waves, three of them.
Now a magnitude-8.8
Red alert for economic losses. Extensive damage is probable and the disaster is likely widespread. Estimated economic losses are 0-3% GDP of Russia. Past events with this alert level have required a national or international level response.
