Comments: Ten Minutes in Lituya Bay

That graphic, and to a lesser extent the text of the article, are a bit misleading. The figure of 500+ meters is not the height of the wave, but rather the distance it swept up the shores. The wave seems to have been "only" 300' tall. That seems quite horrifying enough to me without getting all hyperbolic.
