If a tsunami comes again, Total chennai close..!?

After the tsunami hit in 2004, if a similar tsunami occurs again, researchers have said that seawater will enter the town from a distance of 2km. Due to the earthquake that occurred under the sea surface on december 26, 2004, the sea waves rose several feet unusually and the sea water entered the town and caused damage. Thousands of lives were lost in tamil Nadu alone due to the seawater. Every year on december 26, tributes are paid on the beaches as a form of mourning.
In this case, according to the information published by the National Coastal Research Center in chennai and the indian National Marine Information service Center in Hyderabad, if the terrain under the beach is sloping, the damage to the shore area adjacent to it will be more. It has been reported that if the sea surface is flat, the impact will be less.
Accordingly, in case of another tsunami, chennai will be about 2 km. It has been reported that seawater may enter the town from a distance and cause damage. It has been reported that there is a possibility of seawater entering the city not only in chennai but also in areas like Cuddalore and Mamallapuram. However, researchers have also given some comforting information that tsunami-like effects may occur only once in a hundred years.
