As it is explained virtually *everywhere*, *including* the referred 
documents: Emitted as the total energy of the detected gravitational waves.  
(But the system from which they originated is so far away from Terra that 
the strain measured here is still so small that it required something of
the size of LIGO to even detect them.)

No, gravitational waves go right through everything, and their amplitude at 
this distance is too low to cause significant distortion (the presentations 
were deliberately exaggerated, and the presenters said so).

*You* misunderstand, again.  Deliberately, again.  ‘Nym-shifting troll.

Nonsense.
