A confined, narrow valley - that's where the extreme tsunami heights can occur.

That's what happened in parts of Thailand with mountains against the beach. Like this scene in Japan, pressure of the tsunami with no land to cross become a deep churning bowl of turbulance. In Thailand, some survivors of that tsunami were found at the tops of trees.

I don't know about the accuracy of the wave height but from the sound of that wind, hope the photographer got out of there before the F5 tornado hit....

i would say bye bye to my whole house if that height wave strike.
I'm glad you made it.
When you said(in the description),
"I would not have escaped if I had heard the tsunami warning",
did you mean "I would not have escaped if I had NOT heard the tsunami warning"?
Your English is far better than my Japanese,I'm sure!
I was just wondering if you meant that the alert would have mis-led you if you had heard it.
Peace,

Thank you for your English lesson!
I meant "I would not have escaped EVEN if I had heard the tsunami warning."
because this point is located high above sea level.
Unfortunately, three members of a volunteer fire company who were watching the tsunami for monitering were sacrificed here.
