Chile Earthquake Tsunami Hits Santa Cruz, CA Harbor Feb. 27, 2010.mp4

Video of the tsunami surge generated by the Feburary 27, 2010 Chilean Earthquake (8.8 mag) hitting the harbor in Santa Cruz, California. There were at least 4 surges over 2 hours - on each surge the water first went out for 15 minutes and the water level dropped 3-4 feet. Then the water would be still for a few minutes, and then a surge would come back in lasting 15 minutes or so. Estimated surge height from the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center was 0.5 m for Santa Cruz.

I am in Talcahuano, Chile and saw the real thing live :-S but still amazes me the force of the earth reaching even that far places.
