That's quite a video.

It just goes to show you the power of mother nature.

The power and force of all that water was amazing.

I wonder also where the videographer stood while taking this?

He must have felt VERY LUCKY!

What a tragic video.
To watch your city and home disappear in a flash has to be heart breaking.
