Tsunami ran up to the height of 37.9 m(124ft.) here Koborinai in Miyako city.
This shooting place may be beyond 20m high(66ft.). I cannot believe the tsunami ran up here and I would not have escaped if I had heard the tsunami warning.

  • 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,

  • @jetpoweredgriffin

    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.

  • 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.
