New tsunami video - by far the most frightening I've seen

[cbelt3]

Having personally seen a levee break as a teenager on the Mississippi river during the 1972 flood, I can understand. And seeing a hurricane come ashore a year later... And being in a tornado the year after that...
Yeah. Nature is a capricious biotch and wants to kill us all !

Nature is simply nature. we are merely inconsequential gnats on her surface.

Holy hi-res graphics, Batman! Did you bitmap that yourself by hand? It looks like a latch-hook experiment.

What I don't understand is that those people up on the hill obviously knew what was coming. Why else would they be filming? So wtf were people still doing down there???

You're assuming the people on the hill were not already on higher ground when the alert went out.
You're also assuming those folks on lower ground hadn't been dashing towards higher ground for some time, and what you're seeing is those lucky enough to have had enough time to get to the base of that hill.

yeah, it's pretty clear that some of those just making it to the hill were exhausted...

and in general I find it unseemly to question people in the most horrific moment of their lives... when sh!t hits the fan, people are not more likely to be rational - they are less likely. They have a million thought running through their heads WHILE trying to make their way to safety.

where are my kids?

I should go find them

no I shouldn't

hope mom and dad are ok

what should I try to save

SH!T - MY LAPTOP!

and I bet most of all - 'no way the water gets this far'

or who knows what....

Yeah, it looks like at least one person makes it to the hill thinking they would be safe, but just a few seconds later the water really rushes up on them.

At the end when the man in black goes down to pull something /someone out of the oncoming debris wall, my heart stopped for him. Looks like he died trying to rescue what he loved most. Horrific.
