We have added a couple more Tsunami videos from the recent catastrophe in Japan. These are two of the most descriptive we have seen. My friend Jaguar from the MixxingBowl.com alerted me to the first video, and I want to thank the Jag for that.
It shows the tsunami in its early stages as it just begins to to hit the town of Miyako, in Iwate Prefecture, about 120 miles North of Sendai, which was the city closest to the epicenter of the earthquake that shook Japan last Friday.
That quake, initially reported to register an 8.9 magnitude on the Richter scale, has now been upgraded to a 9.0 magnitude.
Although the tsunami begins modestly in this video, its violence rapidly grows into the ferocious and destructive beast that we have seen in other videos of the tsunami.
This video is courtesy of Russia Today and from ANN TV in Japan.

Our second video is also from ANN TV and the language is only in Japanese; however, little translation is needed. The vid begins with dry streets in the town of Kamaishi, also in Iwate Prefecture about 20-25 miles south of Miyako and maybe 100 miles north of Sendai. Both cities are 80-100 miles north of the Oshika Peninsula.
Soon one can spot a trickle of water traveling down the street, a trickle which quickly grows into an absolute torrent of onrushing destruction.
If you watch the second video in full screen, it seems like you are right there on high ground as the destruction of the tsunami unfolds all around you:
