===Orphan tsunami===

A 1996 study published by seismologist [[Kenji Satake]] supplemented the research by Atwater et al. with tsunami evidence across the Pacific.<ref name=NatGeo/> Japanese annals, which have recorded natural disasters since approximately 600&nbsp;CE,<ref name = "Schulz2015" /> had reports of a sixteen-foot tsunami that struck the coast of [[Honshu Island]] during the [[Genroku]] era.<ref name=Discover/><ref name=NatGeo/> Since no earthquake had been observed to produce it, scholars dubbed it an "[[orphan tsunami]]".<ref name="Schulz2015" /> Translating the [[Japanese calendar]], Satake found the incident had taken place around midnight of 27–28&nbsp;January 1700, ten hours after the earthquake occurred. The original magnitude 9.0 earthquake in the Pacific Northwest had thus occurred around 9 pm Pacific Standard Time on 26 January 1700.<ref name="Schulz2015" />
