Shocking video captured from multiple angles shows a massive tsunami surging into a coastal town in Hawaii, leaving residents stunned and scrambling for safety.
The footage, now going viral online, shows an enormous wall of water crashing over sea walls and flooding streets within seconds. Cars are seen floating away, storefronts are being smashed by the sheer force of the water, and panicked locals can be heard shouting as the wave pushes further inland.
Eyewitnesses say the tsunami struck without much warning, giving people little time to react. “It was like something out of a movie. One moment the ocean was calm, the next moment it swallowed the streets,” one resident told reporters, still in shock from the destruction.
Authorities have confirmed that emergency crews are on the ground, working to rescue anyone trapped in buildings and cars. While the full extent of the damage is still being assessed, early reports describe “catastrophic” impacts to infrastructure and homes in the area.
Social media is flooded with dramatic clips of the event, many showing residents rushing to higher ground as the tsunami sweeps through. Officials are urging people to stay away from flooded areas and to follow evacuation instructions, warning that aftershocks and additional surges could follow.
This disaster serves as a chilling reminder of the power of nature — and just how quickly life can change in the face of such unstoppable force.
