Tsunami 2004 Colombo, 20 minutes nonstop video. 2004年海啸科伦坡20

TRY 480p, artifacts in 720p !!. Probably the longest Tsunami video showing the oceans movements in relation to the shoreline in Wellawatte, Colombo, Srilanka.
Luckily Colombo's coast is over 4 metres amsl so wasn't too affected by my estimate of the 3.5 metre swell of the ocean

    My mom told me when I was a little kid, "If the ocean suddenly runs away, you run too! The other way, and go up as high as you can! Because it WILL come back, in a HUGE way that can KILL you!" Please repeat my mom's words of wisdom to your kids and friends!

    One of the basic principles is that the water will draw down the same distance that it will go above the regular water level when it comes back. So, if it goes down 5 meters, the wave will go 5 meters above where it started. Therefor, the wave will be 10 meters from the trough to the crest when it breaks.

    Oh you mean the videos compressed to nearly unwatchable quality for rapid upload? Of course it could be storage maintenance on the KZread end, compressing footage of a certain age or view frequency but definitely agree with you. Some military footage is deliberately downgraded to conceal the actual quality but like bank and other security video ya gotta wonder how they know what color eyes a robber had when the face is made of about 3 gray pixels :)

    Nice video capture by the uploader. Technically video shows the withdrawl of the sea into the ocean due to the sudden shift in the ocean base. though the change in withdrawl is slow, its in the eye of the beholder to note the sensitive changes in the oceanic activity in this video. the poor bystanders cannot judge whats going far far away from their ground in the Indonesian region. probably in the aftermath all of them were washed away or something. 10/10 for the person who captured the video for 20 mins.

    Thank you. I'm glad to see someone mention that detail. These people had no idea what was going to hit them. And all those who watch this horrific tragedy should not judge the actions of anyone until they've walked in those same shoes. Even with the generous gift of hindsight, many people would be shocked to know that they would NOT react as the believe they would, if found in the same situation. They better hope it's not on YT if they do. As we know, people's judgments can be quite harsh.

    I'm amazed that people who watch this think it's a waste to time. The sea is giving those people in the video a very clear warning that a catastrophic event is only minutes away. As soon as the sea started lapping at the railroad tracks, you knew there was a storm somewhere, then within minutes it reversed to a extremely low point, which confirms that it's a tsunami, and it will hit THAT beach. It's time to get to safety, and you only have minutes to save yourself from drowning

    Remember where the water line usually is and how deep it was where the ocean floor was exposed. Because when the water recedes is coming back the other way at least that far and that high. You should especially be worried about how deep was exposed because if the land doesn’t slop very high when leaving the beach the water is going very far inland.

I was about half a mile from the beach and it was really hard to predict what was going to happen until there was around an hour of massive seas slamming into the land so hard I never thought it possible, and after a really terribly bad ten minutes was over there was a drop to rock that was the 10 M from the top of the sea wall which was usually just over a metre down from the sea wall.

It was such a big disaster, that it took about a week for the media to even wrap their head around what had happened. 04’ Indian Ocean, 11’ Japan......two all-millennial events, so close together, but at the very least, people can SEE how important tsunami detection systems are. Seems like a warning to be better prepared next time. Many of the countries in the Indian Ocean had no warning at all. Japan had the largest sea walls ever made, and it didn’t matter.

    Actually, it's not necessarily the sea BEHIND a tsunami that gives it its power, but the sea UNDER it. See, water displacement such as what happened in both the 2004 and 2011 tsunamis affects the entire column of water, from the sea floor all the way to the top. The energy of the entire column then travels as a wave. However, most waves are created by winds and other forces above the water. Therefore, they do have a very deep affect. They may LOOK big, but underneath, the energy is very shallow.

    The thing about tsunamis is how long of a wave they are. In the open ocean a tsunami wave may only be 2-3 meters high but is tens of thousands of meters from the front to the back of the wave. When it hits the coast the wave increases in height but is followed by tens of thousands of meters of water closely behind it. There wouldn't be a huge 100 meter tidal wave, instead, there would be 20 waves 15 meters high all pushing the water further inland.

    Apparently people have forgotten about real cameras. Not every camera is a phone, zoom lenses are very common in other cameras, especially video cameras. Even cheap camcorders can have 40x or higher optical zoom(enlargement caused by lenses, not digital enlargement), eg: kzread.info/dash/bejne/m62fqZKEh9Tgl8o.html Even tape based cameras, as would've been common during the 2004 tsunami, often had 20x or more.

It demolished the Southern and Eastern coasts and more than 30,000 people died. Mainly because we didn't even know what a tsunami is back then, all of us were shocked and depressed by the damage it did. Search for "galle tsunami 2004" and you will find out some footages how destructive it was.

    People are seen running in panick knowing fully well about what is store for them. Water is seen gushing in to the railway tracks as huge waves are batting all around. People living in Colombo city are living in the grip of fear. They are witnessing a Tsunami , which they have never seen before. This video is being captured from one of the top floor of a tall building. People in large numbers are assembled here and there to watch with fear the nature's fury. A fury in which many lost their lives.
