What an Idiot for taking his dog for a walk.

"Wow, a tsunami is about to hit this remote uninhabited area? I should go there with my dog."

when was their last one I wonder ?

I’d repost but it’s kinda nightmarish for me

That is something and shows how important to stay safe…glad you were

The only correct response.

so what was the cause of the quake ? 8.8 is big. ..

that dog doesnt know how near he was to a big swim ..

Good day when orcs drown

Uuuuffff... A super interesting profile. I love it. I congratulate you and follow you. 🙏🙏🩵

There's something about the interference pattern when it rebounds back into itself that fills me with existential dread.

Yes, there was a big earthquake off Kamchatka recently, and yes, it caused tsunamis. But how do we know this *particular* video was taken in Kamchatka in the aftermath of the earthquake? And how do we know it shows a tsunami rather than some other kind of wave?

Russia is kind of hoping their land will become more arable for farming and want to drill for ice cap oil. This is global warming. A rising tide lifts all boats.

That's insane, that water comes 20-30 metres up that cliff😮

Wow. Amazing.

That is insane!

Oh my gosh. They're tearing chunks out of the hill

Would love to know the location to know how high up the terrain the water went. It's hard to tell the height from the video.

I was worried for the dog!!!!!!!!!!!! 🥺

But the DOG!!

Wow That's incredible footage

Yikes. At first he seems way high enough to be out of danger, then suddenly he didn’t . I kind of got the vibe of a landslide tsunami in Alaska that I heard about where they can get bigger when they funnel into coves and such.

GET YOUR DOG OUT OF THERE, IDIOT!

Nature is powerful. And you're gonna lose your dog

Bloody climate change.

That looks about right to me. What's truly amazing about this event is what a small tsunami it produced for its magnitude as a thrust quake. If it had been more typical, that guy and his dog would both have likely copped it.

I know when you have a large dog it’s essential to walk them everyday, but…man. I think maybe this is a good reason to skip it.

I miss being near the ocean. But also I don't, at all.

I don't think "lost to a freak wave" was meant as a euphemism here given the context but I could be wrong.

Good point -- there have been some severe injuries and deaths due to rogue waves. Some places seem to be prone. www.ctvnews.ca/regina/artic... Shoreline topography can play a role -- I noticed that northern CA was still on alert long after the all-clear for the rest of the coast.

Also rogue waves, learning about those was utterly terrifying

I’m so glad the dog gets out of the way! Scary!

Incredible power

ME TOO!!!

Me too. I think he's calm cuz his human's not running away?

+1

Literally same

Same, for me. 😎

Me too!

Same

ME TOO!!!

GET. THE. DOG. ‼️

Holy moly!

I like how the dog's like "Uh, boss, I think we should go..."

please tell me the dog is ok!

📌

Looked like a rise of 10m with swells on top of that. Incredible!

Explain the difference between a tsunami and a tidal wave?

Absolutely terrifying.

Terrifying

Wow!

My brain says ‘fake’ even though there must have been a large tsunami in the region. The waves on shore don’t look quite right to me.

The dog and the human reacted exactly as I would expect. Most people and even dogs have seen waves plenty of times. They were quite high on the hill and would have been quite surprised that the water did not behave like normal waves at all. The force behind the this water is significantly higher.

Too deep, I expect. A lot of those haymakers off Kamchatka and the Aleutians happen so deep the rest of the world just gets minor tsunamis.

😳

Someone was about to lose a dog! Those waves were getting a bit unruly.

Not cool to leave the dog in harm's way to film. Secure the dog first!

Wow!

I thought it was kinda small and then it got pretty impressive. That's what she said anyway 😆

Not exactly my SUP cuppa coffee

AI

Ok cool… but about the dog. The dog is okay, right? RIGHT???

Yeah, but it's so often the case. And I include myself, because my pup is Shepherd/Husky and she's picking things up so fast it's alarming. Wonderful, too...

I was thinking he probably thought they were high enough up to not need to worry about it.

Seiche!

📌

Awesome

I did the same thing but I grew up on the ocean, I understand its power. But yes, whenever there was a storm I would head down with my garbage bag on and play dare also 😀

That is terrifying

Blimey!

😶

edit: after watching it in the news today i'm convinced of it being real 🙏

Call your dog!!!

Hard to judge, but maybe between 50 to 100 feet?

🤔hope the next one is bigger💯hope those waves reach all the way to Moscow next time!

Wow

Thanks for posting. Wow

Wowzers!

But what a left going along that little harbor! Duude!

So much potentially devastating energy

Dude, get your dog safe

I'll be fine up here.

That's not a long way from the Russian nuclear subs base...

Don’t forget the dog!

I wouldn't have let my dog run free there. 😱

I assume everything is fake.

Insane!!!

This footage should probably be shown in schools near coasts. Letting people see what it looks like and what it does can help drive better preparedness.

It's apparently been verified bsky.app/profile/dieg...

BUT IS THE DOG OK?

The dog is smarter than the videographer. He started running like hell towards the end of the video.
