This first person footage is the most dramatic video we’ve seen from the Japanese quake and tsunami. The raw footage brings you first hand what it’s like to be amidst the devastation. The rapid rise in the water level coupled with the relentlessness stream would bring fear to any of us. Not only was the tsunami flooding out buildings, but it also moved cars and houses. According to the video, it was filmed in the Miyagi Prefecture (宮城) in the city of Kesennuma (気仙沼市) which has 74,000 inhabitants. You can use the Japan Earthquake people finder to locate loved ones.
