A terrifying tsunami has struck a coastal town in Hawaii, leaving devastation in its wake. Videos shared online show massive waves crashing over sea walls and flooding streets within seconds. Cars were tossed like toys, buildings crumbled, and residents screamed as the water surged inland.
Locals say the wave hit without warning. “It was a calm day—then suddenly the ocean just swallowed everything,” one resident recalled, still in shock.
Emergency crews are working around the clock to rescue those trapped in flooded buildings or vehicles. Officials describe the damage as “catastrophic,” with power outages, collapsed roads, and entire neighborhoods underwater.
Footage of the disaster has spread across social media, showing people fleeing to higher ground as the wave tore through town. Authorities are warning residents to stay clear of affected areas and remain alert for possible secondary surges.
What was once a peaceful seaside community now faces a long road to recovery—physically and emotionally.
