I thought with Tsunami's it was a fairly quick influx then recession of the water. This video is both sad and amazing to see it build from just flooding the streets to total devastation over the course of several minutes.

I've successfully avoided the news for a couple of days. That video made me feel a bit ill. If I make a donation, it will be through the Red Lotus organization.

The news, videos, and stills are becoming overwhelming... We suffered a small hurricane here in Hampton Roads, Va. (Isabel) and it was months before things reached any state of normalcy. It paled in comparison to Katrina. I can't even begin to imagine the time, money and effort it will take to rebuild Japan.

When we lived in Alaska I was lucky enough to witness what is called a Bore Tide. The tide comes in very fast and every year someone would be caught by it, usually the results were not good. It would take your breathe away to see this happen and I can not even imagine the sights and sounds with a Tsunami...

Tidal bore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

That's cool!

I'd never heard of a tidal bore before.

I keep watching the news to see if the fallout is going to come this way.
