The 1964 tsunami was far worse. It hit at night, and no one had any real knowledge of the phenomenon. The first wave tore things up, but everyone thought that there was only one wave. Many came down to the harbor as fast as they could after that first wave to inspect the damage. Unfortunately, the second wave was much larger. The third was less, but by then, many who had rushed to the harbor died. Others were swept away when the first and part of the second floor of the Surf Hotel was inundated. The wave destroyed everything in the business district near the ocean.
Jeff van wieren As I recall the stories, the bar where some people were swept away was the first floor of the Surf Hotel, but undoubtedly, there was more than one bar and certainly some of these were close to the shoreline. So, what you are saying could very easily be true. A friend of my father was at the Surf that evening. He survived while others did not.
Andre Tucker not sure what you saying, but my point is that between the 2011 and the 1964 tsunamis in Crescent City, the 64 tsunami was worse. Overall, the Japanese version of the 2011 tsunami made Crescent City's look like kids play.
@@theboipuds agreed, but the 64 tsunami reached to where Wells Fargo is now. i must admit that I am a bit disappointed that it took so long to repair everything. I do remember that the piers over by the Coast Guard station were still not repaired/replaced when I saw it six years after the tsunami.
One would think with Crescent City's past experience with a tsunami that those who've come down to the docks would take the warnings more seriously,there's nothing you can do about the boats at this point nor should you except to evacuate to higher ground on the chance that the tsunami surge gets higher which can happen,true a tsunami loses some of its power when crossing an ocean but if the Japan quake had been a higher magnitude like 9.2 or more this situation could have gotten much more dangerous and the possibility of lives lost due to irresponsibility.
Nah, we had plenty of warning and time for it to dissipate. Now we have a major fault right off the coast. That has a major slip and CC will be wiped out. We've had truely monsterous tsunami in the area before and it'll happen again.
1234lavallee1 which ever company or companies that was responsible for building the harbor are complicit with the destruction that occurred ... since Japan has a long history with regards to earthquakes and tsunamis
I went to the beach and watched the tide go out further than I have ever seen. I got pics of the boats smashed up. This is a powerful video. It sure stirred up the feelings. Thank God there were no deaths here.
This had to be the next morning (3-12-'11) actually around 8-9 AM. The waves took about 16 hrs to reach the west coast of the US all the way from from Japan.
Japan was 17 hours ahead of the U.S. West Coast on that date, so when the earthquake hit off the coast of Japan on the 11th at 2:46 p.m., it was 9:46 p.m. on March 10th in California. The tsunami waves reached Northern California on March 11th at 8:44 a.m., 11 hours after the earthquake.
The tsunami spread around in waves. These were the ones that went towards the east of Japan. That's why it didn't take long for them to reach the US coastline.
Tally Ho is the only charter out of Crescent City...and he will also do funerals at sea (from his ad). Crescent city has been hit before by Tsunami, Alaska '64...and will be hit again.
Holy Cow. Crescent City Harbor got hit hard. Did it get a wave like Santa Cruz Harbor or just a constant surge in and out? How many surges did it get? How high was each surge?
At 1:23 the boat with the long ugly box built on the deck was for sale and the guy wanted $13,00 for it. I told him he would have too pay me $10,000 juts to take it off his hands. There was a lot of derelict dead boats in that harbor. Some of them sit on the ground, too expensive to repair, too costly to put in the dumps.
The new one that's gonna hit is supposed to wipe out Crescent City. But nobody knows when it'll hit. Supposed to be worse than the one in 1964, from what I've read.
Hello! Is it possible to contact you over mail regarding this video? I would love to discuss getting permission to use the video in a production if this is possible. Greetings!
@@kathyyoung1774 They had close to 18 hours of warning.....they had plenty of time .....but complacency and not wanting to "Waste Fuel" was a bigger concern for them...i guess they won't need fuel now .If these people act like this during this event,i'd hate to see what happens when the Northwest subduction zone gives way..That fault has produced 9.0 earthquakes just like what happened in japan.
Yes. The particular topography of Crescent City's harbor makes it a tsunami magnet. Zoning laws after the 1964 tsunami banned building homes right on the harbor.
@@mikepowell8611 I visited Crescent City many years ago and went to the library and they showed me a huge harbour jack that now rested right in front of the library. Must have been very deep water there where the library is.

I was leaving crescent city that morning and looked at the news when we got to a motel and it said a tsunami hit and showed video footage of flipped boats. Pretty fucking lit
why are people laughting while see this destruction? now the reason i ask is A. anti-logical, B. disrespectful/abusive towards rights,and C. there watching the start of destruction...
@@stonew1927 That was not destruction....90% of the boats there were fine and only half the piers were messed up....wait till the northwest subduction zone goes...THEN you'll see what destruction is.
Japan gets 100 times more Tsunami's than the US by far,so of course they are prepared...but even this time they were not prepared for the incredible size of it.
Still shocking how much power it had after that far. Thousands of miles.
They travel pretty dang fast. Hundreds of miles an hour
Each one of those boats are someone dream work or life ..
pffft this is nothing compared to whats coming for the west coast....consider this a very small appetizer.
Sirens going off in the background. Sound of disaster approaching. Just a terrible sight. Unbelievable.

We were there in July. Just an empty harbor now, no docks. Just one fishing boat. It really got hit hard.

@@greenvilla7 You're far more likely to die in a freak car accident than by tsunami. Or win the lottery in some cases.
This is why the best thing for boats like this is to be out at sea, offshore, during a tsunami. Out there, nothing will happen to them.
They’ll just get shoved inland on the wave wouldn’t they?
I went to the beach and watched the tide go out further than I have ever seen. I got pics of the boats smashed up. This is a powerful video. It sure stirred up the feelings. Thank God there were no deaths here.
There was one death, a guy in Klamath who came down to the shoreline to take pictures.

@@Cameron1K - I stand corrected. Thank you.
Can you imagine? It took less than a day for the tsunami to come from Japan to the USA.
Pretty intense for a tsunami triggered by Japan earthquake. I wonder what will happen when Cascadia subduction zone goes off.
The tsunami spread around in waves. These were the ones that went towards the east of Japan. That's why it didn't take long for them to reach the US coastline.
Was waiting to hear the Japanese person talking through the warning sirens 🙈
Approximately what time was this video taken on March 11th?
Tally Ho is the only charter out of Crescent City...and he will also do funerals at sea (from his ad). Crescent city has been hit before by Tsunami, Alaska '64...and will be hit again.
You would think that before the waves hit people would be jumping in their boats and getting them out in the ocean.
The water's even worse when it recedes as it picks up more speed.
the seagulls are like Meh whatever there just all chilled snd relaxed and were like weten our pants
Because some of 'us' have millions of dollars invested in watercraft, and when a 'tsunami' is inbound, we have reason to wet our pants.
oh that make so much sense
GREAT film just wondering where were the boat owners ?? did anyone take this event seriously??
somewhere safe, where they should be
Holy Cow. Crescent City Harbor got hit hard. Did it get a wave like Santa Cruz Harbor or just a constant surge in and out? How many surges did it get? How high was each surge?
8 years, a quarter million views later, and still no answers to your questions is telling.
Since my grandma lives there she said it terrifies her to this day!!!!!!!!
I took film of these boat docks 10/10, if you miss them. Is the mermaid still there?
I remember this I live there
Wow! Holy moly.
Wow over 4,900 miles away and it travel the whole pacific.
Awwwwww.. this happened on 3-11 day. That sucks

Our harbor was entirely destroyed and many boats were destroyed as well
My dad shot this video when he was a photographer and we still can’t believe it has this many views
👍👍
I live here
Nice boat hardly used
New paint
New fuel water seperator
New batteries
Carbs just rebuilt
Must sell cause I am downsizing to smaller boat
This is a kiddy-ride compared to Japan's E-Ticket.
Where the hell is Crescent City? Put it in the description for God's sake. What's so hard about that?
Northern California
Godzira!!!
Federal STH-10 siren going off
I'm sure it was way more impressive in person then on a video.
a sth-10. replaced a e57 years ago
Just moved to crescent city and not looking forward to the next tsunami 💀💀
And Forrest Gump started cashing it in !!!

Cool a few boat's got jacked good oh well it's only boat's☺😁😂😀😊😬☺😸😈
😢
Look at that current. Don't fall in.
Did he just say, "GEE WHIZ"?
Just so everyone knows, a lot of the people who took these videos were owners of these boats. Luckily, it was only our harbor that was destroyed.
Santa Cruz harbor too.
I'm talking about in Crescent City. The Harbor was the only thing destroyed in Crescent Ctiy
Annamarie Garcia Oh. OK. :3 Crescent City seems to get every tsunami generated in the Pacific, but none of them are ever strong.

Like ghost ships taking a little cruise around the marina. Don't suppose the owners of the marina had tsunami insurance ....
