And people riding whatever they can to higher ground, I've felt plenty of 7.x's, but no 8.x's, I too hope for the least amount of damage and such. It's an active part of the world, here We have 2 plates, there they have 3 and the powder keg known as Krakatoa is still rebuilding...

It depends on the direction of the slip. If it is vertical, there will be a tsunami. If it is horizontal, there won't be one.

Yeah, not much energy released into the water this time, just enough for a 4" wave the TV News said.
