TreeStandBowHunter Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 (edited) So the waves were pretty small but we still got to see the tsunami waves come in. My pictures are too big to post here so here is a link to our website (the first 3 are of the tsunami waves):http://web.me.com/mshzcmiller/Miller_Family_Website/Photos.html Because we live within 1000 meters from the coast line and not above 30ft above sea level, we had to leave our house. So I packed the family up and headed up to one of the ridge lines and got to watch the waves come in from about 500ft, lol. The waves were no larger than normal but it was cool seeing them come in because the tides were out already (low tide) so there was lots of dry land but when the waves came in, the dry land filled up pretty quick, like within minutes. There was a series of about 10-12 waves, one after another, and it took place in a matter of about 6-7 minutes. We were up pretty high and it was hazy but I did the best I could with the pictures. Not much too see but it was neat seeing how the ocean works in mysterious ways;) The pictures don't tell the whole story either, it looks like just normal waves but I guess you just had to be there to see this unfold. Definitely neat to witness how it works though. Edited February 28, 2010 by TreeStandBowHunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttinbuc Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Those are some pretty nice pictures of the Okinawa coast with the waves that could have been a lot worse. I also enjoyed the great pictures of your family and life in Japan. Thanks for sharing and thanks for your service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
