Tsunami's 5m wall of water | The Daily Telegraph


Tsunami's 5m wall of water | The Daily Telegraph: "A wall of water, triggered by a 8.0-magnitude undersea earthquake, swamped Gizo, capital of the western province popular with tourists for its pristine beaches and diving, locals reported.

'The sea is rising up to five metres high... the houses are sunk,'' ferry driver Nixon Silus told Australian radio.

'All the houses on the islands are under water and all the houses are being pulled down and most of their kitchen utensils and all things like that are floating on the sea.''
