Hum,
yeah, the tsunamis travel fast, about 600mph...
that would leave only about 1-2 hours (max) before it hit the worst affected coasts and islands.
But then again , its a question of money and resourses.

Hum,
I think most geostationary survey satellites couldn’t actually pick up the small height differences in the sea - they `re mostly designed to look at land usage.
However, I managed to find a NOAA QuickTime movie of the event
