Hi, Mr. Micawber.
4. If I had stayed there longer, there would have been no chance I could have escaped the tsunami.
I though the sentence above was a bit wordy,for having consecutive "would have" and "could have".
But I guess it is all right.
Thank you.

Try it this way:
If I'd stayed there longer, there'd've been no chance I could've escaped the tsunami.
If I'd stayed there longer, there'd've been no chance I could've escaped the tsunami.
