Terrifying New Video Depicts Tsunami Swallowing An Entire City Within Seconds

If you ever wondered why those who are responsible for public safety are so adamant about evacuating certain areas before a storm, then a situation like the following, which shows the devastation first hand, should shed some light on this scenario for you. With Mother Nature, if something is about to happen, even if it isn't with absolute certainty, in cases like these, it is better safe than sorry as the inconvenience of rolling out for some days is almost nothing compared to what could happen in case you were in the wake of a dangerous natural disaster.

This time, we see how a tsunami may unfold from the camera of somebody who decided that they'd try to brave the elements, hanging out on a rooftop above the city. This gives you a birdseye view to see how quickly something like that can spread, taking the landscape which was once something bustling and make it now look almost as if there was nothing there in the first place. It is downright mind-boggling to see how something like that can sweep in so fast and cause so much destruction in a matter of a minute or two.

If you follow along below, you ’ll see what was once a typical city, complete with your average fixtures such as buildings, power lines, and cars. All of a sudden the massive wave has absolutely nothing standing in the way of sweeping the vast majority of it away after it rises over the rooftops and makes its enormous presence felt. We’re not sure exactly which tsunami this footage came from as the video’s description is inconclusive, but after seeing something like this, you might have a new perspective on how things happen.
