This is truly amazing to watch. I have seen many videos of the devastation, but this video really puts it all in perspective because it starts with a small amount of water in the road where cars are driving, and ends with the city being washed away.

Video Ping.

This is one awesome home video, words just cannot describe it. When you thought you saw it all.

This whole incident in Japan has given me a new perspective on my current troubles.

Utterly inconceivable. And the whole time, not a sound from the videographer.

Here’s a Google Street View of the very spot before the tsunami.

Keep in mind, folks...

That looks like a river at flood stage, flowing left-to-right at the video shows it. It looks like a DOWNHILL flood with the water headed to the right side of the screen.

It's actually the Sea - the Pacific Ocean, mind you - being forced to run UPHILL from the normal sea level onto the land adjacent to the beach.

And it goes on for over 6 minutes, with the volume of water increasing all the time.

And don't forget - there were multiple tsunami waves. The video only showed 6+ minutes of one only of them.

There were people in some of those vehicles. They had no chance to get out.

The people on the balcony - they look stunned. But at least they had their lives.

Each second it gets worse. I guess if you see that water you better get out of that vehicle and up as soon as you can, and hope your building holds.

Thank you for posting, I had not seen it. Images like this put us right there in a way we never could be before. I can’t imagine what was going thru the recorders mind as he took this video. God bless them all.
