Ten minutes of tsunamis (with a whole lot of irritating “bugs” on the screen):

Things to note:

1: The stranded truck drivers at 0:56. Yeeeeesh.

2: The cargo ship at 8:30 heading into town is going to be trouble.

3: The yacht at 9:47

4: The ships in town at 9:50

    the cargo ship at 8:30

    look closely at the water around its stern and bow .. i think this ship is under poewerand is trying to maneuver – if so the driver on the bridge is really keeping his nerves …

    It looks like there were several sea walls but the wave was so big nothing could have stopped it.

    I think the first video is demonstrating the phenomenon of soil liquifaction. That’s where very wet soil gets agitated enough that the solids fall to the bottom of it; the free liquid is then lighter than the surrounding material, and geysers up out of the surface. This could also cause cracks to move.

    I look at these videos, and I keep thinking I’m seeing the newest Toho monster movie boasting really top-notch special effects.
    All this video should be set to the soundtrack of The Mysterians:

    In a William Gibson novel, Virtual Light, Japan was struck by a huge earthquake they named Godzilla.
