OT: Insane Tsunami Video

[lazypadawan]

Just saw this retweeted by Kyle Newman. Watch as some Japanese hamlet is overtaken by swirling waters, where at first it's just some flooding, followed by cars and debris floating away, boats ambling down the street, then big trucks, and finally buildings. I know the Northeast has some bad flooding right now but nothing quite like this:

Still a meltdown threat in Japan, btw.

Wow. The truly amazing thing to me in that video is the SOUND of the water rushing through that street. You could hear the force of the water and could tell how the volume of water was increasing just by the sound, never mind the increasing size of the debris it was sweeping away.

I was noticing that too... as well as the creaking of the buildings as they were pushed through the water.
