Did the Japanese have time to evacuate or was the tsunami a total surprise?

Asked by BBSDTfamily (6839points) March 28th, 2011

I have watched several videos and haven’t seen many people in them. I thought the tsunami struck very quickly and without warning, but did they have advance warning and time to evacuate? If so, how much time did they have to react? Also, how many miles were underwater off of the coast line?
