The death toll is unknown on ash-choked Tonga after an underwater volcano sparked a deadly tsunami.
Poor Tonga with the choke slam
@@kingrobert7246 nah this ain't it
I doubt 250,000 people died! No comparison!
@@MD-DLive yea no shitsherlock. The population is 100k. And it's not a competition for the highest death toll. Wtf are you even comparing to anyway and why?
@@jameshardy1061 no need for animosity, just stating that this was not as bad as the 2004 tsunami, that's all!
after seeing the japan tsunami over a decade ago, i no longer dream of a beach house property, ever
You don't win a Darwin award then 😅
Well I think a beach house near a lake might be pretty safe (unless it's near Lake Superior).
@@Lizfan2 what’s wrong with Lake Superior?
@@KimKardashiUn889 I've been told that sailors fear Lake Superior more than they do the open ocean due to how powerful the storms on Lake Superior are.
@@Lizfan2 zoinks…well I am from the the PNW so I wouldn’t know 🤔 thanks for the strange fact, I’ll try to avoid that lake 👍
Tsunami is not a tidal wave. It has nothing to do with tides yet you called it both in the headline.
and to think people make their voting decisions based upon nothing more than what the "news" leads them to, a tad concerning
@@po4RP20361 journalists don't research properly anymore. They print what's easiest, sells or opinion
Relax, it's a RUclips video not a college lecture. At the end of the day nobody cares, it's ocean water.
@@HospitalForSouls.X nah, that attitude is what let's them print whatever, whenever. Gotta be ruthless even on the smaller stuff and set standards.
@@ElPinitch Why would you waste that energy on smaller stuff? It only matters in criminal cases and important information that affects everyone, like with covid. No one cares about a mislabeled tsunami
Tsunamis are when the ocean turns into an enormous flooding river. Im still freaked out with the video footage of Japan’s 2011 Tsunami.
The 2004 tsunami still has me freaked out !
What's scary about this is that the guy who's filming neighborhood became part of the ocean in about 10 seconds and the water keeps getting deeper every second
There are waves but it's the rising sea level that pushes itself ever higher and inland.

Tsunami and tidal wave are 2 different things. Tidal wave is the tide that rises and lowers. Tsunami is a large destructive wave.
That may be..but tsunami is the Japanese word for harbor wave..and is a relatively new tern for English speaker whom before the adoption of the Japanese term referred to all tsunamis as Tidal Waves...and would even call known earthquake generated Tsunamis "tidal waves" until the 20th century. There are many still in this world that don't know the term " tsunami" and refer to all large waves as tidal waves...so depending on whom you talk to one cannot easily determine the origin of a wave in a video by what it's being called.
Many who heard the explosions and saw the ash in the sky ran towards the beach to see more. Lucky for them it wasn't anything like the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami.
Agreed! This was light compared to the 2004 tsunami! It's almost as if people forgot that had happened!🤔
It was worse than the 2004 tsunami in some places. Several places had 15 meter tall waves sweeping through islands.
@@michaelcaplin8969 Im not too sure about that bud!🤔
@@MD-DLive actually it is confirmed
@@MD-DLive Don't know what there is to be sure of. It was just the way it was. Fact. Literally undebatable.
A tidal wave is caused regularly by tide.
This was NOT a tidal wave.
And since the tragedy in 2004, reporters and journalists seem to have finally started using the correct term. There really is no reason for a major news platform to get it wrong now.
Thanks for the upload. Stay safe.
I’m so sorry for your losses❤️
Mother nature once in a while always reminds the world who has the power
It just keeps coming and coming. The energy involved here is immense.
for those watching and also commenting these waves are short or not a tsunami, etc a tsunami is not just a tall wave, it is repeated waves over and over again, its not a 100 foot tall wave like youve seen in movies. those are more like rogue waves in the middle of the ocean.
And?
@hohoho hehehe shut up no one talking to you I was helping people understand who are saying this isn't a tsunami just normal waves. I used to think it was just about wave height also, it's actually about multiple current waves one after another. Don't be a smart ass, or get called out. 😂
@@hohohohehehe6910 it’s an explanation to the uninformed ass. Making remarks for likes on a post about devastation says a great deal about your character.
can the ones in movies happen in real life ?
Praying for Tonga from here in the UK
Prayer: how to do absolutely nothing and feel like you're saving the world
@@hohohohehehe6910 Prayer: asking and thanking an imaginary person instead of support the people who are actually helping and supporting the people there.
I would pray for Albion instead. Pathetic island.
@@MartinZanichelli it's not called albion anymore
Well that does absolutely nothing, but I guess it’s the thought that counts
great video.
Praying for all those impacted by this volcano from Montego Bay Jamaica. Saw the news on BBC and CNN
Thank you, we love you Sanka!
Waves are different than tsunami . You won't stand a chance in front of tsunami , don't underestimate the power of tsunami . When you see the sea disappearing just run without looking back to high ground instead of getting awestruck and inspecting.
what high ground lol
As someone who doesn't know how to swim this gives me anxiety
@@user-dw2df4ke8x Well you cant swim in that lol
This is a mini-tsunami, small but still a tsunami.
Tsunamis aren’t just 100ft waves that you see in the movies kids. They can be just a series of waves caused by displacement of water. Hence why Tsunamis can also be called ‘tidal waves’

I’m always worried about the street animals. They are so helpless.
Bro same
They're more in tune with nature than us
Aw .. you’re a sweetheart.
Street animals, emaciated working mules and horses always ruins foreign travel for me.
It’s hard to see this tsunami as all that terrible after what we saw with a Japan etc.
Maybe it’s deceptive, but those houses didn’t budge at all.
Me too, the animals always come to my mind first and foremost 😓
@@Threemore650 same, this is what puts me off travelling to places like this. My mouth would get me into trouble.
Was it a steam explosion plus eruption ?
So don't you immediately regret staying there to record this?
Once the Ocean started surrounding my house and I saw bigger waves coming I'd start to freak out a bit

I wonder if there's a certain level of denial for some people. You feel so peaceful one minute and the next you may be running for your life.
Everyone wants to live by the beach… that is until the beach line moves itself back a mile or two.
Its amazing how the birds and fish always manage to get out of Dodge well before these things happen.
well, the birds can fly, and the Fish can swim so... you have pretty much answered your question.
@@guiltseeker I think you mean fish fly and birds swim
@@copyninja8756 Er No...😂
I mean there's a video of birds that got killed by the after effects, oil spillage.
The weird thing is that humans dont
I'm surprised theres no daredevil wave riders out there trying to surf tsunami waves.
How that beachfront property doing today?
That building doesn't look too sturdy. Why anyone would build THAT close to the ocean is beyond me. I won't even live next to a small creek here in the USA because thunderstorms turn them into rivers that flood houses.
it's an island. its impossible to be away from the ocean
@@conormclellan2346 Sure it isn't. Don't live on an island. Solved.
Is it a Tsunami or a tidal wave? They're two different things
Tsunami, the person who gave it the title didnt graduate at the top of his GED class
Great start to 2022
Bet that brought in some nice seashells.
Orando por Tonga desde bolivia 🇧🇴 🙌🙌
Its scary watching how rapid the waves are coming in 1 after the other which such speed and force. Even more terrifying when u realize the water levels are rising with each of those racing waves.
Mightnt be the cliche 100 feet tall wall of water that hollywood portraits, but this is terrifying .
2004 tsunami was close to that! It was the total Hollywood one, with water flying off the tip with wind
@@gauravthakur7699 I don’t think it was quite 100feet . Not when it got to land anyways . I’ve watched loads of videos of it and it’s definitely not 100 feet high . Not that it wasn’t completely devastating though however
@@Themaskplague I have too and for one, the scale is hard to determine from videos and most people that may have actual video of anything remotely like what Hollywood creates would most likely never be seen again, along with their videos.
So the question is, is this guy on top of his house watching it get wrecked? Or is he on some random person's house to get footage? Cause you don't see anyone else on any of the other roofs.
Is a tsunami aka Harbor Wave, calls it a tidal wave -_-
Someone who wrote the tittle doesn't know the difference between a tsunami and tidal wave.
Tsunamis are cause by displacement where tidal waves are a result of changing tides..
Exactly my point too... it's still crazy that in this time,people still confuse Tidal wave with Tsunami surge
@@prakashm1468 for real though, how many major tsunamis have happened since the boxing day tsunami? Quite a few, so it's not like there aren't documentaries on tsunamis.
Ya I agree its a shame more people didnt die.
Man powerful water hope the people are well
First time I've seen this
Tsunami ✖️
Just a wave ☑️
All the land as well
All the action was happening on the outer reef, with big waves folding over quickly and slamming into backwash. When people film tsunamis coming in, they tend to focus on the over-washing shore break waves, which is understandable, but the most interesting part to me is always what's happening on outer reefs that on a normal day would get no swell action.
Fascinating. The thing that I love filming is all the death and destruction left in its wake. Or am I focusing on the wrong things?
@@hohohohehehe6910 No way!
Thanks to the reefs surrounding the island, it cushioned the impact before it reached land. It could have been worse
#prayforeveryone
Whoever filmed that is lucky those waves didn't swallow that house whole.
What a 5 foot wave?

Wow
From what ive seen of tsunamis, the water just floods in and sits. When does it star receding?
Immediately. It's just water.
If you put out content, you should know what you are talking about. Why is Tidal used in your title?
Qué dios les ayuden 🙏
Wow, so close to home.
No, home is so close.
Real surfers be like 🏄♂️
“surfs up dude to the MAX!”.
Yeah... I'm happy living at the very center of my country
Which country
what island was this on? tonga is not an island, it's the name of the country which contains many islands. the largest island is tongatapu.
The fact this tsunami was more than double the size of the japan 2011 tsunami is mind blowing
Not true, the Tongan tsunami had a height of 1.2 meters or 3 foot 11 inches. While the 2011 Japan tsunami would have had a height of 40 meters or 132 meters. Had it been double the size of the 2011 Japan tsunami we would not have any footage of the wave as basically all of the buildings on Tonga would have be overrun by water or collapsed like legos. Just total annhilation with only a few fisherman on boats that would have survived had they been far enough out at sea.
My bad I meant 132 feet
Now with that being said, had it maintained that size into the populated areas, I fully agree with your assessment and am glad it wasn't full strength when it rolled in
So many years is well known, that tsunami is not a tidal wave, maybe similar-to-tide wave or flood wave. Many years has not occured tsunami inciated by volcano arruption and collapse like Krakatau/Krakatoa in August 1883. But the video is great. My dream is to see tsunami, also small as the last one in January 2024 in Japan. But from the safe, enough high place. Not so close like you. It expects courage I have not enough.
It's really too much pressure coming by force🙄
Powerful n scary waves
And remember: It's just 120 centimeters.
Oh my goodness 😅
I love you
Imagine what kind of damage Yellowstone could do.
Well...energy is transferring beneath our feet. And there's nothing we can do about it untill it happens. What happens then. Survival
Is yellow stone under water ?
@@nba5130 no it's directly under the US. Under parts of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho.
@@KissMyFatAxe ok ok let me read up on it 👍
@@nba5130 If it goes off it will destroy all of north america pretty much
R.I.P🌺
Awe and horror at once to see this. If the Cumbre Vieja volcano in La Palma Island of Spain have erupted more violently like this one, half of the mountain would have slid into the Atlantic Ocean, and the tsunami generated by it would have been 10 times bigger than this one, perhaps like the Japan and Sumatra tsunamis combined.
I hope all the animals are okay 🥺🥺 … people as well
@Cian MacGana okay first, calm down. Second, yes I hope the animals are okay third, I said “people as well” sooooo relax
@O.G Autistler okay
The future right here
It's interesting and a bit weird that the waves are so low in Tonga when there were still decent waves on west coast of the the American continents.
The waves were also 15 meter tall in several places in Tonga. It really doesn't have too much to do about the power of the wave itself, but so much to do with coastal bathymetry deciding whether or not a wave is going to be huge or small.
These might have been "low" but the issue is the sheer volume of incoming water at that height.
Its low because the water is deep and open. Ends up in a long but low wave. If the beach has shallow water or worse - a bay - the wave would rise accordingly.
It is not a "tidal wave", it is a tsunami.
That's its ...

Thank goodness that it wasn’t worse.
Feel bad for them
For Americans watching these you should be looking at the disaster that's very likely to occur in our lifetimes, an earthquake along the Cascadian Subduction Zone off the coast of Oregon and Washington. It consistently Goes off every 250 years, with full powerful breaks every 500. The last big one was in 1700. When it goes Seattle gets washed off the map entirely
That will be the first time the grunge scene has taken a bath since the 90s.
I think Seattle will suffer more damage from the earthquake than the tsunami. I think Ocean Shores, Port Angeles, and other coastal areas will suffer greatly tho from the large tsunami.
@@KimKardashiUn889 depends on the city structures, I don't know if they are built to the same earthquake codes like Southern Cali is. Everyone focuses on and Andreas because it's active more often, and under heavily populated areas, but the power that gets released when Subduction zones pop free is absolutely immense. Crazy scary stuff glad I am on the other coast. I'll take New England nor'easters over tsunamis and earthquakes anyday
@@yodaguy6956 I feel you, I am headed to the Great Lakes region on Thursday for boot camp, if everything goes well after boot camp I’ll be in military school on the east coast just like you, lived all my life on the west coast so this will be new.
@@KimKardashiUn889 where on east coast you heading, which school?
Scary when there is no higher ground to escape to . . .
Don’t live on an island with volcano then

this is the smales tsunami what I have seen so far, not even worth claiming on roof
Thanks for using the highly descriptive term " tidal wave". It's nice to read and hear.
It's not a highly descriptive term, it's an obsolete usage of a term that describes something else entirely. There's nothing "tidal" about a tsunami. Science has left you behind.
Time to build a bigger sea wall 🧱 🌊
The oceans water is flowing on the street and this guys on his shed
Rip tonga🇹🇴

I guess they don't have wave breaks, I bet they will after this.
i hope no one get hurt :/
Where's that wave?
In the sea

What's a "powerful moment tidal wave"?
Pray to tonga
So sad it took life
Just like a Bantha
Pray For Indonesia
That tidal wave is a monster
May nature eradicate humanity from earth
Giant retractable beach ramps could tame
and push back such overflows.
Force the incoming water to go upward
only to be thrown back out to the sea again.
Not much high ground there.
Get ready for a few earthquakes, a shock wave like that in the earths crust could rattle a few fault zones
