The force of nature

This is amazing footage, from the Daily Telegraph:

The footage shows the devastation wrought to the community of Kesennuma by a 33ft triggered by 's strongest ever earthquake.

The port, around 300 miles north-east of Tokyo and formerly home to 74,000 people, was in ruins after the 9.0-magnitude earthquake and tsunami struck on on 11 March 2011.

You really need to watch this. At first things don't look too bad as the first wave hits and a few cars start floating away. But as the water volume increase and increases it turns into an unstoppable force which rips buildings apart.
