Tsunami wave striking Kihei Maui.m4v 

The title of the video actually exactly describes the content of the video. It's not a dramatization at all.

I learned a ton!!! Ive never lived near the Ocean so this helps if I was to ever be caught in a calm ocean.

Indeed. And WOW! The first reflected wave shows up beautifully in this video!

He doesn’t say HUGE TSUNAMI WAVE STRIKING HAWAI’I **DEVASTATION***

Oh the humanity! My sandcastle! Noooooo!

This is the funniest comment I’ve ever read

😂😂😂

If it was a bigger wave he most likely wouldn’t be around to upload the video

@@MrHistory269 why? I’m sure he would’ve still recorded it, only he would’ve backed up to a safer distance! Not everybody with a camera in their hand is a wondering dumbass!

This wave was bigger about 12 hours earlier when it wrecked the northeastern coast of Japan.

lol, sorry barnacles.

It's especially sad that Barnacle Bill the Sailor didn't make it. ;-)

tagryn yup. Most are small

Yes,but people thinks that tsunami waves are much bigger than this in height,and that is not the case,and tsunami waves don't break like surf waves,even the large tsunami waves looks mostly flat on the surface,and only creates these rolling,waves that seems harmles,until they reach the shoreline and the water rises extremely fast,and keeps pushing on land like a fast moving river. This vid,shows exactly why people die or get caught by these waves ,they just seem harmles from a distance,and people get very curious of why the tide suddenly drains so fast out to sea ,leaving reefs and rocks bare of water. The bigger/,wider wave the more extreme the tide gets.And suddenly it starts pusing on land,and continues pushing inland,tearing everything with it.Stay Away from the shores,if a Tsunami warning have been issued,cause that's an inevitable death trap if enough water have been displaced,you cant out run it,can't drive away from it,and cant hide from it .Only thing that helps is higher grounds,like tall sturdy high rise buildings,or hills or mountains.Everything lower than a normal two story building,is not safe.When looking at the japan tsunami,you see that it seemed very calm and didnt pose any threath ,until the water just overflowed everything,breaching the tsunami walls, tearing down near shore buildings that at the moment seemed pretty safe, overwhelming briges,and overpasses,and crushed homes far far inland and pretty far up in the landscape.Large Tsunamis are one of natures most extreme force of nature and should always been taken serious.In Norway a Tsunami of 100 meters in height are expected in the Geiranger fjord,due to the Askernes mountain slide.We dont know when it will happen,but its 100 % certain it will,and it will destroy everything along the fjords,and reach Aalesund city by minutes after . GREAT vid ,and.fantastic explanation :)

@@ThorKipperberg u might wanna go back and look at the Japan tsunami again! Maybe the day before the water was calm. But when the sirens started going off it damn near sucked the bay dry. U can hear the people talking and comparing it to the many tsunamis they’ve had in the past. U can tell by their voice that the March 2011 tsunami was very different.

J. Watson that's what she said

Christian Mendez. Micheal would be proud of you

@@weatherstuff808 learned from the best

@@christianmendez8321 oh shit that’s priceless! 😂😂😂

Indeed, those waves were produced by the japan 2011 earthquake that caused a huge tsunami

startrek This is actually the same tsunami that hit Japan.

Yeah cuz it's the same tsunami wave but weakened by the long distance

This is the remnant of the Japanese tsunami from 3-11-11. Japan is 19 hours ahead of Hawaii. So, the 2:46 pm (Japan local time), March 11, 2011 9.1 earthquake that generated the deadly tsunamis in Japan on that day, are seen here reaching Hawaii, in a greatly reduced wave. It's sad and sobering to realize exactly what we're looking at here.

@@you99tubejimking Thanks. So the Japanese earthquake happened on the evening of Mar. 10 in Hawaii's local time. (14:46 - 19:00 = 19:46 = 7:46 pm) It amazes me that a tsunami from such a powerful quake (9.1!) would be so tiny, even thousands of miles away. But "sad and sobering"? - Definitely! Fred

your exactly right....

+goodtimebob It was after the all clear signal had been given by the geologic professionals. I would never venture close to an area where a potential tsunami would occur without knowing it was all clear.

Yes, if things are more dangerous than they are, they are worse. Phenomenal insight there.

Andreas Vogler Movies would be extremely boring if these tsunamis were in the movie instead of big ones.

Oh God 1 year later and I can say that I found the best comment on RU-vid.

lol!

You made my day

Ohhh i get it xdddd

Not to be confused with a tsumami, a common feature of my kitchen.

Stop

Dude is well versed in Tsunamis

Andrew Jatib ikr lol

Not really, i've seen dumber people in video's so nothing would surprise me now.

Andrew Jatib click bait title lol

Andrew Jatib I don’t think it’s silly at all. What’s silly is posting a video of a little wave on RU-vid and labeling it as a tsunami...

@@rileygonzales896 - That's like saying "it's silly to say a small earthquake is still an earthquake."

lol

lol

I was 6-7 in 2010 when a Chile quake triggered warnings I got up that night and walked to the driveway and I could see a snake of cars driving up the mountain everyone evacuating

MicBergsma first comment

Instead of run I'd say walk.

Erik instead of walking, let's just watch

Adrian Kyle Abaja instead of watching, jump in to get a closer look

KFC Gravy - Instead of watching. Just crawl.

+dakotalayinlow Yeah! Also when they get that big they are also much longer wavelength, so they inundate for a much longer time. This one is a baby from long after the main wave arrived, but the big ones have a lot of water column behind them. Scary!

i came here for a real Tsunami nice bait click

Its exactly what is described in the title.. maybe you should research what "click bait" is.. not sure what bait click is though...

If a really big wave came how far would you be able to "ditch" anyway.

+commenter78 my rule is: If you see whitewater on the incoming tsunami you'd better run uphill fast. The place I shot this from is right at the beach, but less than a block and a half away the hill rises quickly. When I was filming this the idea that I may have to leave quickly was always in my mind. I had been obsessed with the '94 Indian Ocean tsunami since it happened. Had friends killed in that one.

Time sure does fly, fr.

Now 2011 is 9 years ago.

@@dk6173 🤔 nowadays it is ten years ago...
