Amazing video: It starts out slow and you think, "Wow, its really pushing those cars around", then it keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger without end. Several roofs that look like they would be safe refuges at the beginning are completely gone without a trace by the end. The destructive force of an angry ocean is unbelievable.

Wow, that was impressive! What a HUGE wall of water, and it just kept coming! I don't think, if I had been the camera person, that I would have felt at all confident of my location on top of that building, as it seemed that the water kept rising and wasn't that far below the camera vantage point!

You're right, that position looked like a good, safe spot to record from. By the time you started to doubt that, it was way too late to get out. It was scary the way it just kept coming and coming without stop. I pictured a tsunami as a big wall of water that crashed in, and then immediately started receeding. At the beginning of the video its an interesting and novel event that's rarely seen, but by the end OMG ITS THE END OF THE WORLD!
