There was a swarm of earthquakes off the coast of Vancouver island ( called Tofino). This took place over the past 2 weeks. These quakes were fairly large for a cluster with the largest being 6.4. The reason I bring it up here is those quakes happened within the Cascadia Subduction zone, an area where the plate is unusually smooth which means it could slide much farther down & produce massive tsunami waves. Cascadia is already expected to generate a tsunami very similar to the 2011 Japan event. We are not ready for something like that. Check it out if interested.
I know. Scary so many tectonic events have been happening on those subduction plates. Yellowstone just went, south of me. I'm in BC, not on the coast but here. Alaska has had tremors too. Not good.
The tsunami shown in this video is just one page of the tsunami damage caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake. What is frightening is that a tsunami like this came as far as Hokkaido in the north and Chiba Prefecture in the south, forming a "tsunami wall" 900 kilometers long. The Great East Japan Earthquake killed about 15,000 people, including related deaths, and about 2,300 people are missing. More than 90% of the deaths were caused by "drowning". That is why tsunamis are so terrifying.

I don't get how u drown in a tsunami like does it suck u under or something? Coz I though a person would be afloat
Crazy to see people on the bridge
So in ur point of view, Misawa or Hachinohe got hit the worst?
Esse vídeo eu não tinha visto ainda.,legal é triste mas é legal
3:00 That bridge might have stopped the wave but one of the gates is open.
Did anyone perish
@@shaunmyburgh84 2 people died in the tsunami here, a fisherman and a newspaper delivery man.
