Article link. YT video link. Searched and didn't find anything.

A massive tidal wave slammed an eastern China sea wall, leaving more than 30 people injured.

The 60-foot wall of water — triggered by Typhoon Trami — crashed on the shore near the city of Haining, where onlookers gathered to watch the storm on Thursday.

It was not immediately clear how bad the people were injured. There were no reports of any deaths.

The typhoon — which caused heavy rain and 80-mph winds along the eastern Zhejiang Province — forced over 400,000 people to be evacuated from their homes and caused millions of dollars of damage.

The storm was the 12th typhoon to hit the country this year.

I used to have frequent dreams about 40-storey waves crashing over me. This looks about right on the realism scale. Probably kind of frightening.

 

[Vashetti]

[akaoni]

[J-Roderton]

"No deaths reported."

Wow.

 

[GK86]

Everyone can relate to this.

Correct term is tsunami.

Anyway, glad it wasn't worse.

Edit: Heh, I now learned tsunami means 'harbour wave' so I guess 'tsunami' and 'tidal waves' are both misnomers.
