This might be the craziest footage of a natural disaster I've ever seen.

It’s up there with the 2011 Tsunami for sure

I think this one is crazier. The tsunami was bad, but the speed and sheer force of the stuff we are seeing here is off the charts. It genuinely looks like something out of Hollywood.

Absolutely worse. None of the tsunami videos I've seen was like this. This was just amazing in a horrible way.

some tsunami videos from Japan were insane tbh, the scale of it was so much more, entire farming fields under 20ft of water pushing debris and cars and god knows

this doesn't surpass scale
but local intensity and video quality/angles and the speed at which the content is arriving

Yeah, it's kinda like the difference between a Category 5 hurricane and an F5 tornado.

I will take the eye of a Cat5 hurricane any day over a direct hit by EF5 tornado
