I assure you, an 8.5 quake wouldn't be wasting anyones time if it was legitimate and granted them enough warning to prepare. Perhaps you're not familiar with the scale?

The magnitude 9.5 earthquake in Chile in 1960, the largest earthquake ever recorded, resulted in a 1.6-meter (5.2-foot) wave that reached Santa Monica about 14 hours after the earthquake (wcatwc.arh.noaa.gov...).
