Close-up Footage of Tsunami Not Shown Here

This one really shows the horrible power of the tsunami.

it shows the street before the water has hit and then what happens in the next 6 minutes.

It shows some awesome sights to behold.

Yes, There were an awful lot of people and property lost in that thing. There is a building with a big red roof that
is in it from the beginning. Watch what happens to it near the end along with all the cars and other stuff floating
on the water.

My God that is horrible.

I can't believe the person filming is so quiet, I think I would be freaking out in a situation and I wouldn't have been as close either.

A guy not too far from us was working at a Honda plant in Japan when the earthquake hit, he had to run 8 miles home to get his wife and kids. His apartment didn't get damaged to bad and they surprisingly had phone and internet service. They were able to fly back to Ohio with 2 changes of clothes and left the rest. They let 9 American friends and their kids stay in their apartment, he plans to go back and finish his contract at the end of May IF things get better.

Wow, WindHarvester that would was a long run. I am glad that that he and his family got away ok. I hope that his things
are in pretty good shape for him when the get back. There seems to be a lot more Americans living in Japan than I ever
realized. I guess I just never thought about it and assumed that because it is Japan there wouldn't be many Americans
living there. I can see how wrong I was.
Thanks for you very interesting reply.
