If you stick with the video for the full 6 minutes you will not be disappointed. I have seen no other video out there that has this kind of filming from beginning to end. The person filming really did a great job regardless of the danger he put himself in.

Kind of makes me think of how the Democrats roll into Congress every year and lay waste to everything as they go.

That was the most incredible tsunami footage I’ve seen yet.

Devastating is an understatement. No single word could describe that.

Terrifying. Even those on top of the hill must have been in fear for their lives. Where are all the people? (rhetorical question). Only a few can be seen on top of the hill or roofs of buildings.

This video has been the subject of a thread at least three times on FR.
BUT, that doesn’t mean everyone has seen it, so I am not complaining, just noting it.

Worst part is the water isn’t all that deep. It’s hard to believe the power it has.

Thanks for posting, I showed it to my grandchildren, to show them the power of nature.

Incredible footage. Thank you.
To: Tom Hawks
Point to remember is that most buildings are pretty closed up above the ground floor (especially in winter), and the rising water will trap the air inside and lift the building like a cork. Most buildings, unless they're located in tornado/hurricane areas, are not built to be tied down to the ground they stand on. You can see some of that in the videos of the tsunami; here's a direct link to the 6+ minute YouTube:
I sure hope and pray those folks at 6:15 got spared.

Apart from the awesome power of 8-10’ of surging water, did anyone else marvel at how watertight the Japanese cars are?
To: Tom Hawks
Incredible, to say the least.

That is an awe inducing video. The power of the water is so frightening. It is as if you are right there.
To: Tom Hawks
I keep wondering what happened to the driver of the white Toyota Van that rounded the corner just a minute or so before the waters came rushing up the streets....
