[Other historic tsunami
ca. 1600 B.C.: The Israelite passage of the Red Sea has been linked by some researchers to a tsunami following the volcanic explosion of the Greek island of Santorini.
ca. 500 B.C.: Poompuhar, Tamil Nadu, India, Maldives
ca. 450 B.C.: The Greek historian Thucydides in his book History of the Peloponnesian Wars, speculated about the causes of tsunami. He argued that it could only be explained as a consequence of ocean earthquakes, and could see no other possible causes for the phenomenon.
1541: a tsunami struck the earliest European settlement in Brazil, São Vicente. There is no record of deaths or injuries, but the town was almost completely destroyed.
January 20, 1606/1607: along the coast of the Bristol Channel thousands of people were drowned, houses and villages swept away, farmland was inundated and flocks were destroyed by a flood that might have been a tsunami. While it is quite possible that it was caused by a combination of meteorological extremes and tidal peaks, recent evidence points more strongly towards a tsunami.

Giant waves do not "attack"?
Are you talking about a tsunami or a storm surge?
Which giant wave? What kind?
