There are no tsunamis in Germany.

There are no “real” earthquakes too.

There are real earthquakes in the Netherlands. Are you sure?

In the last 1000 years, there have been only three earthquakes in Germany that were magnitude 6 to 6.5. (1356, 1756 and 1911).

That once-in-200-years magnitude 6.5 earthquake is 400x less intense than the 2011 Japan earthquake. And yes, without a sea there is no tsunami risk.

Really? I would think they'd be incredibly destructive, if they ground liquified...
