Yeah hell that’s gotta bout 125 foot wave in that first pic. Japan wouldn’t even be on the map if that happened.

Scary thing is the pic you posted is about 15-20 feet and there were sections of the wave that were higher at the shore. Then there were areas where the wave went into a valley and was funnelled up, some ssay reaching as high as 40 feet in some of those areas.

I mean seriously, WTF do you do with a 40 foot wall of water coming at you at ~30mph aside from just completely shit yourself?

It’s cresting a wall of harbor in that pic, which is above road level iirc.
