That first video.... you could feel that womans terror growing. But she kept it together enough to keep that camera rolling. Good on her.

Creepy watching that footpath slide along like an escalator - somewhat more unnerving watching the building twist and sway.
With my wife being from Sanfrancisco our ears prick up everytime we hear 'earthquake' on the radio/TV - it's only a matter of time.
Fishing boats in some western USA ports were warned to get out to sea before this last tsunami reached them - some that didn't lost their boats, so there was still a decent amount of energy left by the time it got across the pacific.

Make sure you watch it to the end, it's amazing how the water keeps rising all the time. And it also clearly illustrates that the first wave may indeed not be the largest! |
Very strange, that video was new yesterday, only hours old.
Today the video has been "removed by the user" 
Shame.

It is hard to imagine that with all the energy involved in moving earth, it all comes down to a couple of inches of 'weak' spots along the surface for the fault to develop along.
Very very strange!
As for the second video, hmm, something just doesn't look right about that.

Yeah, Simon, the video had been removed about 30 minutes after I viewed it last night, which was annoying as I was trying to show a bunch of mates!

Strange, I had come back to save it to hdd. Annoying.
It was the perfect vid to show people how much the water level rose, and how a 4.5M high wall was not enough.

Towns along open beaches didn't cop it half as bad as those living in bays or up rivers, where the water gets channelled ever higher and faster.

Thanks for linking that, Jeanette.
It's somewhat like the one Rolf posted the other day that was removed -- showed just how the water kept rising and rising. Except, his one actually showed the multitude of waves coming in and crashing the shoreline.
I wonder why that user removed the video? : (

Hi H, I've been looking for that video since it got removed. Today I found it again, uploaded by another user: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIMsoGfIm_s
And here it is also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EVHCDhNp70
With 2 links it shouldn't get lost again

Amazing vids,
I think that some of them may have been removed because they might have shown bodies or people about to die....like in that last vid I think the person driving that van on the dam edge might not have survived..... and I think (think) I saw a person floating in a yellow rain coat at almost the end.

Has anyone found or seen any footage of the water going OUT?
It must've swept so much stuff out with it on the way out..

Nothing like the Japanese ones, but watched a few on the other side of the pacific - hitting California.
