Eyewitnesses suddenly reported an ascent of the level of the sea in Puntarenas, of approximately 1 meter, presumably associated to the arrival of the crest of the wave tidal wave to this port. (reference #273)
","On November 26 (or 16), 1705, an earthquake occurred in Arequipa and Arica, and the wave generated during that quake flooded and destroyed a large part of Arica. This information may refer to the earthquake and tsunami of November 24, 1604. (reference #415)\r\nNov. 26, 1705 , Chile and Peru. Earthquake felt at Arequipa, Peru and Arica, Chile. Waves reported in the District of Arequipa. Arica was destroyed. (reference #39)","
On September 2, 1992, a magnitude 7.2 Ms (USGS) earthquake at 00:16 UT off the Nicaragua coast killed at least 168 people, injured 489, and left more than 13,500 homeless. More than 40,000 people were affected with losses. The combined effects of the earthquake and tsunami destroyed at least 1,500 homes, and 185 fishing boats were lost in the tsunami. The total damage was estimated at $20 to $30 million. (reference #1315)
Most of the casualties and damage were caused by a tsunami affecting the west coasts of Nicaragua and Costa Rica, reaching heights of up to 8 meters [...] Maximum wave heights (in cm. peak-to-trough) at selected tide stations were as follows: 111 at Baltra Island, 83 at Easter Island, 28 at Socorro Island, 18 at La Libertad, Ecuador, 10 at Valparaiso, Chile and 10 at Hilo, Hawaii. (reference #1053)
Reference #273 lists 170 fatalities.
","February 3, March 15, April 13, April 16 dates given, most likely March 15, 1924, [10:31]. 49 N, 142.5 E, Tatar Strait, magnitude 7.0, shallow depth. Great agitation in river according to Ulanov. Sieberg who gives 3 dates in Feb. and Apr. without explanations, says that great damage resulted from flood waves, but this appears to be an exaggeration. More likely to be a seiche than a tsunami. (reference #79)
1924. At the time of the so-called Uglegorsk earthquake of 1924, with its intensity of M 6-3/4 and its epicenter in the Tatar Strait on the west coast of Sakhalin, as reported by Ulanov (1932), "the water in the river became terribly agitated." Apparently there remains a possibility of the occurrence, if not of a tsunami, then of some other disturbance of the level of the sea. (reference #413)
Reference #12345 lists two events on 15 March 1924 in Tartar Strait caused by earthquakes, both with validities 1 (very doubtful tsunami). (accessed May 2024)

A 6.4 Ms (USGS) earthquake at 13:16 UT was followed by a second earthquake of Ms 7.0 (USGS) at 13:23 UT that was felt throughout Costa Rica, injured ten people slightly, and damaged about sixty buildings. Several landslides blocked roads for some time. A small seismic sea wave was reported from Quepos to Tambor. It was recorded with an amplitude of 30 cm at Quepos and was also recorded at Tampor. A rise of one meter was observed at Puntarenas. The earthquake and wave occurred at low tide. (reference #1315)\r\nEyewitnesses suddenly reported an ascent of the level of the sea in Puntarenas, of approximately 1 meter, presumably associated to the arrival of the crest of the wave tidal wave to this port.

","On November 26 (or 16), 1705, an earthquake occurred in Arequipa and Arica, and the wave generated during that quake flooded and destroyed a large part of Arica.

Waves reported in the District of Arequipa. Arica was destroyed. (reference #39)","
On September 2, 1992, a magnitude 7.2 Ms (USGS) earthquake at 00:16 UT off the Nicaragua coast killed at least 168 people, injured 489, and left more than 13,500 homeless. More than 40,000 people were affected with losses. The combined effects of the earthquake and tsunami destroyed at least 1,500 homes, and 185 fishing boats were lost in the tsunami. The total damage was estimated at $20 to $30 million. (reference #1315)
Most of the casualties and damage were caused by a tsunami affecting the west coasts of Nicaragua and Costa Rica, reaching heights of up to 8 meters [...] Maximum wave heights (in cm. peak-to-trough) at selected tide stations were as follows: 111 at Baltra Island, 83 at Easter Island, 28 at Socorro Island, 18 at La Libertad, Ecuador, 10 at Valparaiso, Chile and 10 at Hilo, Hawaii.

Sieberg who gives 3 dates in Feb. and Apr. without explanations, says that great damage resulted from flood waves, but this appears to be an exaggeration. More likely to be a seiche than a tsunami.

1924. At the time of the so-called Uglegorsk earthquake of 1924, with its intensity of M 6-3/4 and its epicenter in the Tatar Strait on the west coast of Sakhalin, as reported by Ulanov (1932), "the water in the river became terribly agitated." Apparently there remains a possibility of the occurrence, if not of a tsunami, then of some other disturbance of the level of the sea. (reference #413)
Reference #12345 lists two events on 15 March 1924 in Tartar Strait caused by earthquakes, both with validities 1 (very doubtful tsunami). (accessed May 2024)

A 6.4 Ms (USGS) earthquake at 13:16 UT was followed by a second earthquake of Ms 7.0 (USGS) at 13:23 UT that was felt throughout Costa Rica, injured ten people slightly, and damaged about sixty buildings. Several landslides blocked roads for some time. A small seismic sea wave was reported from Quepos to Tambor. It was recorded with an amplitude of 30 cm at Quepos and was also recorded at Tampor. A rise of one meter was observed at Puntarenas. The earthquake and wave occurred at low tide. (reference #1315)\r\nEyewitnesses suddenly reported an ascent of the level of the sea in Puntarenas, of approximately 1 meter, presumably associated to the arrival of the crest of the wave tidal wave to this port. (reference #273)
","On November 26 (or 16), 1705, an earthquake occurred in Arequipa and Arica, and the wave generated during that quake flooded and destroyed a large part of Arica. This information may refer to the earthquake and tsunami of November 24, 1604. (reference #415)\r\nNov. 26, 1705 , Chile and Peru. Earthquake felt at Arequipa, Peru and Arica, Chile. Waves reported in the District of Arequipa. Arica was destroyed. (reference #39)","
On September 2, 1992, a magnitude 7.2 Ms (USGS) earthquake at 00:16 UT off the Nicaragua coast killed at least 168 people, injured 489, and left more than 13,500 homeless. More than 40,000 people were affected with losses. The combined effects of the earthquake and tsunami destroyed at least 1,500 homes, and 185 fishing boats were lost in the tsunami. The total damage was estimated at $20 to $30 million. (reference #1315)
Most of the casualties and damage were caused by a tsunami affecting the west coasts of Nicaragua and Costa Rica, reaching heights of up to 8 meters [...] Maximum wave heights (in cm. peak-to-trough) at selected tide stations were as follows: 111 at Baltra Island, 83 at Easter Island, 28 at Socorro Island, 18 at La Libertad, Ecuador, 10 at Valparaiso, Chile and 10 at Hilo, Hawaii.

Sieberg who gives 3 dates in Feb. and Apr. without explanations, says that great damage resulted from flood waves, but this appears to be an exaggeration. More likely to be a seiche than a tsunami.

1924. At the time of the so-called Uglegorsk earthquake of 1924, with its intensity of M 6-3/4 and its epicenter in the Tatar Strait on the west coast of Sakhalin, as reported by Ulanov (1932), "the water in the river became terribly agitated." Apparently there remains a possibility of the occurrence, if not of a tsunami, then of some other disturbance of the level of the sea. (reference #413)
Reference #12345 lists two events on 15 March 1924 in Tartar Strait caused by earthquakes, both with validities 1 (very doubtful tsunami). (accessed May 2024)

A 6.4 Ms (USGS) earthquake at 13:16 UT was followed by a second earthquake of Ms 7.0 (USGS) at 13:23 UT that was felt throughout Costa Rica, injured ten people slightly, and damaged about sixty buildings. Several landslides blocked roads for some time. A small seismic sea wave was reported from Quepos to Tambor. It was recorded with an amplitude of 30 cm at Quepos and was also recorded at Tampor. A rise of one meter was observed at Puntarenas. The earthquake and wave occurred at low tide. (reference #1315)\r\nEyewitnesses suddenly reported an ascent of the level of the sea in Puntarenas, of approximately 1 meter, presumably associated to the arrival of the crest of the wave tidal wave to this port.

On September 2, 1992, a magnitude 7.2 Ms (USGS) earthquake at 00:16 UT off the Nicaragua coast killed at least 168 people, injured 489, and left more than 13,500 homeless. More than 40,000 people were affected with losses. The combined effects of the earthquake and tsunami destroyed at least 1,500 homes, and 185 fishing boats were lost in the tsunami. The total damage was estimated at $20 to $30 million. (reference #1315)
Most of the casualties and damage were caused by a tsunami affecting the west coasts of Nicaragua and Costa Rica, reaching heights of up to 8 meters [...] Maximum wave heights (in cm. peak-to-trough) at selected tide stations were as follows: 111 at Baltra Island, 83 at Easter Island, 28 at Socorro Island, 18 at La Libertad, Ecuador, 10 at Valparaiso, Chile and 10 at Hilo, Hawaii.

1924. At the time of the so-called Uglegorsk earthquake of 1924, with its intensity of M 6-3/4 and its epicenter in the Tatar Strait on the west coast of Sakhalin, as reported by Ulanov (1932), "the water in the river became terribly agitated." Apparently there remains a possibility of the occurrence, if not of a tsunami, then of some other disturbance of the level of the sea. (reference #413)

A 6.4 Ms (USGS) earthquake at 13:16 UT was followed by a second earthquake of Ms 7.0 (USGS) at 13:23 UT that was felt throughout Costa Rica, injured ten people slightly, and damaged about sixty buildings. Several landslides blocked roads for some time. A small seismic sea wave was reported from Quepos to Tambor. It was recorded with an amplitude of 30 cm at Quepos and was also recorded at Tampor. A rise of one meter was observed at Puntarenas. The earthquake and wave occurred at low tide. (reference #1315)\r\nEyewitnesses suddenly reported an ascent of the level of the sea in Puntarenas, of approximately 1 meter, presumably associated to the arrival of the crest of the wave tidal wave to this port. (reference #273)
","On November 26 (or 16), 1705, an earthquake occurred in Arequipa and Arica, and the wave generated during that quake flooded and destroyed a large part of Arica. This information may refer to the earthquake and tsunami of November 24, 1604. (reference #415)\r\nNov. 26, 1705 , Chile and Peru. Earthquake felt at Arequipa, Peru and Arica, Chile. Waves reported in the District of Arequipa. Arica was destroyed. (reference #39)","
On September 2, 1992, a magnitude 7.2 Ms (USGS) earthquake at 00:16 UT off the Nicaragua coast killed at least 168 people, injured 489, and left more than 13,500 homeless. More than 40,000 people were affected with losses. The combined effects of the earthquake and tsunami destroyed at least 1,500 homes, and 185 fishing boats were lost in the tsunami. The total damage was estimated at $20 to $30 million. (reference #1315)
Most of the casualties and damage were caused by a tsunami affecting the west coasts of Nicaragua and Costa Rica, reaching heights of up to 8 meters [...] Maximum wave heights (in cm. peak-to-trough) at selected tide stations were as follows: 111 at Baltra Island, 83 at Easter Island, 28 at Socorro Island, 18 at La Libertad, Ecuador, 10 at Valparaiso, Chile and 10 at Hilo, Hawaii. (reference #1053)
Reference #273 lists 170 fatalities.
","February 3, March 15, April 13, April 16 dates given, most likely March 15, 1924, [10:31]. 49 N, 142.5 E, Tatar Strait, magnitude 7.0, shallow depth. Great agitation in river according to Ulanov. Sieberg who gives 3 dates in Feb. and Apr. without explanations, says that great damage resulted from flood waves, but this appears to be an exaggeration. More likely to be a seiche than a tsunami.

1924. At the time of the so-called Uglegorsk earthquake of 1924, with its intensity of M 6-3/4 and its epicenter in the Tatar Strait on the west coast of Sakhalin, as reported by Ulanov (1932), "the water in the river became terribly agitated." Apparently there remains a possibility of the occurrence, if not of a tsunami, then of some other disturbance of the level of the sea. (reference #413)
Reference #12345 lists two events on 15 March 1924 in Tartar Strait caused by earthquakes, both with validities 1 (very doubtful tsunami). (accessed May 2024)
