Yeah, I've got no idea either where I might find the footage. I just think it would be interesting, even if it was in a sped up format. There's a whole lot to a tsunami, but we only ever see the initial impact. The roll-back between waves is equally immense and as important as the first strike.

I am sure video is available, from the 2004 Indian ocean tsunami as well as the recent 2010 Japanese tsunami.

But I have no idea where you would go to find it.

Also, realize, after the first initial wave, it would be kind of boring for 20 mins or so, until the second wave rolled in.  And again until the 3rd wave rolled in.



As in from when the tsunami comes on shore to it pulling back. We often just see the initial wave coming on shore, which is devastating, but that's not the entirety of a tsunami.

Is there any video of the full tsunami cycle?
