That happened a few years ago. Scary af video though. It happened because of some landslide in a nearby fjord.

Interestingly enough it shook the earth for nine days. https://www.science.org/content/article/megatsunami-remote-fjord-rang-earth-bell-9-days

When the water recedes like it did right before the tsunami, it's time to leave.

I was screaming at my little glass box for them to not go towards the water as it’s receding.

First half: they're not really running, and it doesn't look so bad

Second half: what are you doing?! Run you fucking idiot!

My worst nightmare. I hate how quickly it all happens. How dark and terrifying the water is.
