The toll

The record gives no deaths, injuries or damage for this tsunami.

What the record says

NCEI’s account, from the sources it cites.

2014 June 27, 10:37. Source Landslide. Two waves on the shore from Chernomorka to Ilyichevsk. (reference #12050)

It was our intention to put an end to the rumours

about the "origin" of the Odessa event and to

demonstrate that the "Odessa tsunami" of 27 June

2014 was actually a meteotsunami closely linked

with the Mediterranean events of 23-26 June 2014.

Synoptic conditions, air pressure and sea level

records, as well as our numerical modelling results

support this conclusion. (reference #12051)
