Tsunami began far out at sea and often seem to come in conjunction with great tremors or earthquakes. A huge displacement of water occurred and a massive wave arose, gathering height
and strength as it closed with the shore. Once the wave stroke land, it scoured away the works of man as though they never were. Book of Water, p. 110
