I hadn't seen this tsunami video anywhere else so I thought I'd post it. The video itself is shot from up high on a cliff at what apparently is a restaurant. It shows the water pulled all the way out from the beach and then the water comes roaring in. The video camera guy tried to yell down to the people on the beach about the wave coming but he was to far way for them to hear him. The video captures a guy standing out on the beach and getting swept away by the huge waves. Apparently there was a news story about some native villagers who had always been told by their ancestors that if the water goes out (like is shown in the video) that they need to run the other way towards high ground. Near the end of the video the camera is pointed out to sea and it is just amazing how frothy and churned up the water is so near shore.
When the water goes out, run the other way. Source: Fugly.com |
