   It might not have been on the same scale of the 2004 or 2011 Tsunamis, but it would take a very strong Hurricane to produce 6m of surge and cause this much damage.

Update,  Tsunami was larger than anticipated for a 7.5 for reasons yet to be determined.

The underwater detection system was broken and never repaired, so they didn't have adequate warning.

The ground liquefied from the quake in some areas and that caused some of the damage and deaths. This will happen in San Francisco when the big one hits.
