22000 Dead.

As for the comments on the asteroids etc. Trust me on this, if you worry about dying, your not living. That said, enjoy life and make every moment count.

My mom called this morning and was telling me about one of the people at a hotel on one of the effected coast lines. He looked out into the bay and saw the water suck back for almost a Km and realized what was about to happen, ran inside warned everyone and they went into the upper floors (highrise). No one was injured in that situation. The hotel was designed with a system of breezeways in the lower floors that allowed the water to pass through with much less destruction. Another guy on a bridge noticed the tide sucking back as well and said there were boats on the floor of the ocean then when the wave came, they were of course proplled into the shoreline. It is power that is hard to even believe.
