Incredibly Sad

Tsunami. A sea wave of local or distant origin that results from large-scale seafloor displacements associated with large earthquakes, major submarine slides, or exploding volcanic islands.
In this case the cause was an underwater earthquake that measured 9.0 on the Richter scale.
The loss is immeasurable.
