Just saw a friend post on facebook about a Tsunami that hit Hong Kong on September 18th, 1906 and supposedly killed 10,000 people. However, doing an internet search, I couldn't even find a Wikipedia page for this in English, just a few one-line "On this day in 1906" mentions, and a search in Chinese turned up a few semi-reputable forum posts and a small wikipedia entry, (about a typhoon, not a tsunami):

The HKO webpage also mentions that "Hong Kong has not been seriously affected by any tsunami in recorded history, with the Philippines Islands and Taiwan acting as an almost complete breakwater for such tsunamis in the Pacific". I find it hard to believe that such a major event happening in a major world city would go almost completely unrecorded. Does anyone have any more reputable information sources on the subject?
