I Wonder if anyone knows the story or whether it got away?
Saw this online: "In the deep open sea, tsunamis move at speeds approaching a jet aircraft (500 mph or more). As they approach the shore, they slow down. When a tsunami arrives at the shore, it usually does so as a rapidly rising tide moving at about 70 km/hour (45 mph)."

Good insight on the speed of a tsunami once on land. I guess my thought was that it was pretty damn close once the car got started forward (away) so I was thinking that the car wouldn't have enough acceleration to not let the tsunami catch it.
Would like to know how it ended up
