Water has been known to surge more than 170 feet [50 m] above the normal sea level and carry debris, fish, and even chunks of coral thousands of feet inland, obliterating everything within its path.
On teada, et vesi on tõusnud 50 meetrit üle normaalse meretaseme ning kandnud rususid, kalu ja isegi korallitükke sadade meetrite kaugusele sisemaale, pühkides minema kõik, mis ta teele ette jääb.
