Texas: The Tsunami-Free Zone?
Now, before we dive headfirst into this watery abyss of a topic, let's get one thing straight: Texas is not exactly known for its epic waves. It's more of a "howdy, partner" and less of a "hold on to your surfboards" kind of place.
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.
Tsunamis are typically caused by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. Texas, with its landlocked charm, is about as far from a tectonic hotbed as you can get. It's like trying to find a cactus in Antarctica.
QuickTip: Read a little, pause, then continue.

These mini-tsunamis were usually caused by earthquakes happening way, way, way out in the ocean. Think Caribbean or Pacific. By the time the ripples reached the Lone Star State, they were about as exciting as watching paint dry.

So, Should Texans Worry About Tsunamis?
Short answer: Nope. You're far more likely to be trampled by a herd of longhorns than swept away by a tidal wave. But hey, it never hurts to know a bit about water safety, right?
