Thank you Max, I really liked your video too. Good job uploading your footage so quickly. Stay dry!

lol the ducks are liek "wtf is going onnn?!"

Very informative.

These vantage points would've shown a great deal had there been a large wave or waves, particularly the Wailuku River.

It's interesting to see the continuing small surges for hours afterwards, even in a lesser event like this. They'd be larger and probably go on longer if the waves were big.

LOL! even that duck couldn't handle the surge

those ducks were worried! thanks for the great video and all the time-lapse film. It was fascinating.

Thanks, it's nice to be able to watch a tsunami video with scientific curiosity rather than horror.
