The tsunami is thought to have reached 2.52 meters at this point, the highest runup measurement. The wave was more forceful here than in any other place. It broke the windows of the waterfront basement apartments and flooded them with seashells and seaweed. There was also subsidence of 10-15 cm at this location. Dr. Costas Synolakis, University of Southern California, takes a photo of tsunami evidence in Sirinyali.
Seaweed hangs on the fence and stairs, and shells lay on the apartment deck.
Water from the tsunami rose up over the fence at this location. The wave was more forceful here than in any other place. It broke the windows of the waterfront basement apartments and flooded them with seashells and seaweed. There was also subsidence of 10-15 cm at this location. The height of the tsunami runup may be inferred by the gray markings on the posts and on the wall to the right on this second floor balcony.
