I like to sit out on the front porch, where the birds can see me, eating a plate of scrambled eggs, just so they know what I'm capable of.

You got the location spot on, but the resulting tsunami measured a mere 15cm in height, so nothing more than a regular wave. Thank goodness!

There is a large fault line south of the island that could cause a problem.....but not for now.

Yes, but badly :)

They are a little...er... "bulky" to be good swimmers.
