More and more people are having prophetic dreams of an asteroid impacting the earth and mile high tsunamis going as far inland as Oklahoma.

Nov. 9th is a significant date. This is the date we will "test" our emergency broadcast system (never done before this date, and never used, not even when 9/11 happened, or Pearl Harbor).
Asteroid YU55 will be between Earth and the Moon, or 200,000 miles away, which is close.
Facts:
The United Nations (UN) published a tsunami drill paper (first ever) with a scheduled tsunami drill date of 11/9/11.
The UN paper (attached) claims an asteroid will hit the Pacific Ocean causing mile high tsunamis on 11/9/11

A Pacific-wide tsunami exercise is an effective tool for evaluating the readiness of the PTWS
and to identify changes that can improve its effectiveness. The first Pacific-wide exercise,
“Exercise Pacific Wave 06” (IOC/INF-1244), was carried out on 16 and 17 May 2006 using
Philippines and Chile tsunami sources. The second exercise “Exercise Pacific Wave 08”
(IOC/2008/TS/82), was carried out from 28 to 30 October 2008 using a northeast Japan source.
At the Twenty-third Session of the ICG/PTWS held in Apia, Samoa, from 16 to 18 February
2009, Member States reviewed “Exercise Pacific Wave 08”, its findings and recommendations.
Acknowledging the common occurrence of large earthquakes in the Southwest Pacific and its
ensuing tsunami hazard, and recognising exercises as a good vehicle to improve response
readiness and publicise awareness of tsunamis, Member States recommended to hold a third
Pacific-wide tsunami exercise to especially assist Pacific Island Countries in better preparing
for the next tsunami.

It can't that would be impossible. While a tsunami can travle at 500 mph over the ocean once it reaches land it can go so far. I think it can only go maybe up to 15 miles inland and that is even stretching it. If anyone has any evidence it can travel further inland than that please correct me. The problem is without a water source a tsunami can only go as big as the actual wave is. If the wave is one mile then wouldn't only go one mile inland?
There are various factors that determine how far inland a tsunami can go.
Here is a list of factors involved:
1. The terrain of the land and the height of the tsunami wave. If the land is mountainous the tsunami would probably not go very far; however, if it is lowland, it may wash inland for several kilometers.
2. Another important factor in a tsunami is the volume of water displaced. It is not the height of a tsunami that gives it momentum over land, but the length.
3. The angle at which the tsunami reaches land and the geographical shape of the coastline: A concave coastline will suffer more damage than a convex coastline that can deflect the water movement.
4. Land forms slow them down considerably. The distance travelled inland is directly related to the change in elevation.
Note, an earthquake's impact, in the form of tsunamis, can also travel halfway around the world in the ocean. For instance, the earthquake off the shore of Japan in 2011 created tsunamis reaching the United State's pacific coast line.
The 2011 Tsunami in Japan
Most scientists reported that the 33-foot tsunami wave made it 6 miles inland, with washed up shrapnel and water reaching 10 miles or more inland.
