10 Biggest Scary Tsunami Caught On Camera

Did you know that tsunami waves do not resemble normal undersea currents or sea waves? Well, this is generally because their wavelength is so much longer. And so, rather than appearing as a breaking wave, a tsunami resembles a rapidly rising tide. Sometimes referred to as a "tidal wave" because this name might give the false impression of a causal relationship between tides and tsunamis.
However, tsunamis almost always consist of a series of waves, with periods ranging from minutes to hours, arriving in what is known as a "wave train." Wave heights and the destructive power of tsunamis can be enormous as they can affect entire ocean basins, as well as the inland towns and coastlines, including the infrastructure, wildlife and its people.
Welcome to Mind Read, folks! We’re extremely happy that you could join us today, and we’re here with our amazing topic of: 10 biggest scary tsunamis caught on camera. We also invite you to stick around so that you can see the biggest impact of the countdown a little later on. It’s ginormous!
Number 10: At the tenth spot, we’re going to show you the Indian tsunami which occurred in the year of 2004.
Here, a powerful undersea earthquake struck off the coast of Sumatra island, Indonesia, and this set off the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, also known as the Christmas or Boxing Day tsunami on Sunday morning, December the 26th, 2004. The magnitude 9.1 quake ruptured a 900-mile stretch of fault line where the Indian and Australian tectonic plates meet up with one another. It was a powerful megathrust quake, where a heavy ocean plate slips under a lighter continental plate.
The quake caused the ocean floor to rapidly rise by as much as 130 feet, triggering a massive tsunami. Within 20 minutes of the earthquake, the first of a few 100-foot waves hit the shoreline, losing more than 100 000 people. In all, over 230,000 people lost their lives around the affected areas of the globe, making it one of the worst natural disasters in modern history.
Number 9: At our number spot 9, we’re looking at the Japan tsunami of 2011. On March 11, 2011, and at the time of 2:46 p.m., a 9.1 magnitude earthquake occurred 231 miles northeast of Tokyo at a depth of 15.2 miles. The earthquake caused a massive tsunami with 30-foot waves that damaged several nuclear reactors within the area. It was the largest earthquake ever to hit the country of Japan.
The effects of the great earthquake were felt around the entire world, right from Norway's fjords all the way to Antarctica's ice sheet. Tsunami debris continues to wash up on North American beaches even still, years later.

In Japan, residents are still trying to recover from the disaster. The statistics of February 2017 showed that there were still about 150 000 evacuees who lost their homes, with 50 000 still living in temporary accommodation.

More than 120 000 buildings were decimated, and 278 000 were half-ruined and 726 000 were partially damaged. The direct financial damage from the disaster is estimated to be about $199 billion dollars (or 16.9 trillion yen), according to the Japanese government. The total economic cost could reach up to $235 billion, making it the costliest natural disaster in world history for our countdown today.
Number 8: At the eighth spot, we’re showing our viewers footage of the Thailand tsunami of 2004. On Phuket island, the tsunami struck the west coast, flooding and causing damage to almost all of the major beaches including Patong, Karon, Kamala, and Kata beach.
At +15 minutes, The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii registered the quake. And at +20 to 30 minutes, tsunami waves of more than 100 feet in height pounded the Banda Aceh coast, with lost souls mounting to approximately 170 000 people from it destroying buildings and infrastructure. At +1.5 hours, the beaches in southern Thailand were hit by the tsunami.
Three hours after the earthquake, tsunamis rolled over the Maldives and more than seven hours after, they hit the Somali coast.
And this tsunami takes our eighth spot within the countdown today.
Number 7: At spot number 7, we’re still in the year of 2004, showing you Sri Lanka’s epic tsunami footage. Waves rose to 100 feet in this tsunami, and the earthquake was caused by a rupture along the fault between the Burma Plate and the Indian Plate. After this, there was a series of massive tsunami waves, and they headed inland, after being created by the underwater seismic activity offshore.
In Hambantota on the south coast of Sri Lanka, they looked for lost children. They also searched for siblings
