Is that real or some photo shop job? I was watching where some areas the wave was like 80 feet high, and it showed where it took away all the vegetation on the side of these hills way the hell up.

My understanding of a tsunami is that the wave itself is not that big height, but in width, like a mile wide. So where a normal wave, breaks, then recedes, the tsunami wave breaks and keeps pushing forward before recieding.



Storm surge, like from a hurricane would be more likely to have a wall of water like that.

yeah all of the pics and vids that i saw on the news show that the wave is rather small. if the wave was as big as the ones in a couple of those pics im sure that they would have seen it coming
