If you can feel and hear an earthquake on land it generally means it is
probably within a couple hundred miles of you. (in this case it was
about 150 miles away). Intelligence also means you know the typical
tsunami travels about fifty miles per hour.

I don't think that's accurate. Depending on the depth, a tsunami can
travel @600 MPH. As the water gets shallower, the wave slows down.
Perhaps you meant, 50 MPH when the wave had crested in the harbor.
