The people in the hotel at the beach are unaware of the forces of nature that are to be unleashed soon...

They do not know that an undersea earthquake is going to begin.

Suddenly the people at the hotel can feel the earth shaking, but not violently. The quake is a hundred kilometers away from shore.

The ocean floor begins to heave and a massive wave builds up.

The wave begins to speed up to 500 kilometers per hour! After the wave has moved forward for 12 minutes the people at the hotel see the giant wall of water and begin to panic.

The Tidal Wave has just hit the shore and is about to hit the first buildings. When it hits shore the bottom part slows down but the top part keeps moving.

The bottom part of the Tidal Wave slowing down.

After the top part of the Tidal Wave has wrecked the hotel.
