Tsunami videos

Can anyone find some links to some good tsunami videos? Here is what I have found so far:

phuket.wmv (11MB) - shot from inside a restaurant, waves engulf older couple clinging to railing before flooding entire room

patong_beach.wmv (10MB) - rooftop view of two huge waves battering buildings along shore, then flooding of city streets

sri_lanka.wmv (7MB) - upper balcony view of hotel swimming pool area getting flooded as observers run away; woman asks "how high will it go?" before retreating

koh_lanta_thailand.avi (11MB) - shot on beach level; watch as first wave grows and crashes, before cameraman's frantic retreat away from shore

penang_beach.wmv (1MB) - shot from wall above beach, three men are caught in battering waves

sri_lanka_resort.wmv (6MB) - upper level hotel balcony; restaurant, pools, and deck flooded as people cling to trees; two men narrate what they see

Some of those videos are pretty scary. The waves at first didnt look that big. Some of the people didnt realize until the last second. The waves just kept coming. On the one video the guy was just standing on the beach then got nailed.

What's disturbing is before that video ends (the one where the guy is on the beach) they are laughing. They think it was fun... they have not been hit by the big one yet.
