Fear and tear inducing footage of the tsunami that devastated Japan in 2011. You should watch the video to see how powerful Mother Nature can be.
The initial 3 minutes of the video shows the almost empty river, obviously the water has receded. Sirens, announcements are blaring in the background. I assume that people are being asked to move to a higher ground.
Then the water starts coming in and I think to myself, maybe this is town is very far from the places I saw on TV that were totally immersed in flood and debris. But for 15 minutes, water kept on rushing. The water in the river rose and rose until it overflowed into the streets and then into the nearby playground. And then the water brought in small debris, and then cars and boats and finally houses!
