That wave is certainly big but is it big enough to qualify as a Tsunami!

[X-ale]

:shock: That splashing impact is humongus. Would that be a bigger wave than those at jaws? 8)

[gigdy]

it was probably storm surge from the typhoon.

[skylark_rocket]

It certainly is a big wave considering the size of the boats in the foreground..

how can't this be not considered a tsunami!?...are you fuckin nuts...this wave is like 20 meters high or more!!!!...how big do you think tsumanis get?

[gigdy]

i dont see how you can tell how high it is sine we cant see the wave, only what it looks like after hitting a wall.

[Skaala]

I thought Tsunami was like the 100year wave, bigger then anything. A flood wave that crushed everything

[tanelvali]

That is definately not Tsunami. Tsunami cannot never EVER happen because of some stupid storm but it happens because of a EARTHQUAKE in the ocean. Like Skaala says, happens few times in a century, if even that and destrouys almost everything in its path.

Btw, I remember one Discovery Channel show, where it was told that somwhere in portugal or spain there is HUGE mountain that is about to fall into ocean. May happen after 10 minutes or after 100 000 years, but the fact is that it is gonna fall into ocean and when this happens a huge wave travels across the atlantic at the speed of 800 kmh. At the western coast of USA it rises up to height of 1-3 kilometers and this wave travels about 3000 kms into the states..

Numbers are really hard to believe even for me, but thats what was told in Discovery. :shock:
