VIDEO: 2011 Japan Tsunami: Onagawa

This video was recorded by local resident Yoshinori Hara from a building in the port of Onagawa, Miyagi Prefecture. Hara escaped on to the rooftop, but the high water of tsunami engulfed the whole town, and even four-story buildings got under water. At 1:47, he uttered an angry groan: "Bloody hell, it's more than 10 meter high!". (Later reports suggest that the tsunami was more than 17 meter high in this town.) Now you can understand that it was one of the most severely damaged areas in this disaster.
