Thanks Paul. You are correct. We did discover tsunami boulders that were there long time ago. They were moved again by this tsunami. The largest was 12m wide and 5m high. They may be more waiting to be discovered.

Hello, I work for a UK documentary production company and we are currently making a series for BBC Earth about extreme weather. We would very much like to use the footage the tonga geological services has caught for the story we are making about the tonga tsunami. Would it be possible to use the footage? Thanks so much - Will
