On March 2011, one of the biggest earthquakes ever recorded was felt in Northern Japan. Tsunami warnings went up immediately, allowing for people to look for higher ground.

It’s from these vantages points that most of the raw footage available on YouTube was taken.

In some cases the ground wasn’t all that high, as is the case with this video.

PS: The guy that parked his car at the high point on the road surely had one of the scariest experiences of his life.
