Hello again,

 

We live on a small hill overlooking the sea and we want to work out how far we are above sea level.

 

When we know this, we will be able to calculate how far away the ships are that we can see on the horizon.

 

Is there any way we can find out how high our house is above sea level?

ok, I found it on Google Earth

 

We are 64 m above sea level and 504 m from the sea.

 

My question is this - If the Japan tsunami had hit our coast,

 

would we have been safe?
