In fact, the whole Earth shook for days after the event, as the tsunami itself reshaped the fjord completely due to it becoming "trapped" within the fjord itself. But the scale of the tsunami, and its destructive power, is hard to comprehend when you're just telling folks about it. And given no one was—thankfully—there to see the tsunami, we only have the aftermath to help show that righteous natural obliteration.
