It may sound morbid, but if you watch the Minamisanriku footages, you will get a good eye measure of how high you have to climb for survival. And of course choose a concrete building or hill, not a wooden building.
I have not see this recording until now, it is amazing the height from sea floor to the top of the sea walls, and the speed that each set flowed over the previous waves. I thought that this section of the sea wall would hold the sea but the last surge simply ran over and swamped everything. Still the sea wall seemed to hold and must have held millions and millions of tonnes of sea water for a short time, to allow some people to escape. RIP to all those lost 😞

@@kayeagustinVLOG. I imagine it'd be like Sanriku 1896. An 8.5 magnitude earthquake hit ninety miles offshore in the Japan trench, so there was little feeling of it onshore and not much expectation of a tsunami. This was thirty years before any preventive measures were in place for such an event. It was early evening, around half past seven and many people were at the beach celebrating the return of troops from the 1894 war with China and also an annual festival. They were completely unaware and unguarded against what was creeping in upon them. At the point of high tide, it hit the shore, receded and returned five minutes later, reaching up to thirty eight meters, it crushed everything. As opposed to death by drowning as you'd expect with a tsunami, many of the dead had injuries you'd see more in victims of fatal traffic collisions. They didn't stand a chance.
Towards the end of the vid I was already starting to hold my breath. To feel nature’s raw power through this vid is nothing compared to what this person, who captured this with his/her camera, witnessed first hand. Belated but sincere condolences for those who suffered through this event.

In the old Japanese paintings of a Tsunami I always wondered why the water was so black - now we know why. And the exaggerated crashing waves were just the artist interpretation of when the waves hit the rocks and crash 20-30 meters into the air. They were more accurate than maybe we gave them credit for.

situational awareness, something the mainstream media lose all the time when they get tunnel vision of something way off in the distance only to miss the thing about to run over the camera crew. at least this fella zoomed back out on occasion so we could get a hint of what we missed when the camera was near max-zoom. the steadiness of the shot of the water going over the wall at the end is also incredible compared to some other vids. I've watched a lot of vids, and I'm still not sure anyone can grasp what it was like to be there looking at an oncoming 16+meter tsunami, horrifying doesn't begin to describe it. Much respects.
In watching so many of these videos in the 12-1/2 years since this happened, I never fail to be amazed how such an innocent-looking wave at first seems so harmless but then shows its true power.
