This clip catches the start of Friday's tsunami flooding into the streets of Kesennuma, in Miyagi Prefecture, and watches up close for six astounding, frightening minutes. First the streets flood with sea water. Then cars are picked up, then buildings. And still the water keeps rising, as people look on stunned. And we sometimes think quakes last forever.
The footage was apparently shown on Japanese TV. Video clip to watch bigger. Hat tip: Chris Little at KFI.
