Legends say China began in a great flood. Scientists just found evidence that the flood was real.

a 30 storey building isn't that big of a wave, being about 300ft. Biggest ever tsunami recorded was over 1700 ft and that was in 1958. There are bound to have been a lot of massive tsunami in varous places throughought human history. And just normal floods of devastation from hurricanes and heavy rain. And then there is the normal much higher sea level experienced during times of warmer global temperatures when the poles are virtually ice-free.

1700 feet. Holy shit.

It was in Alaska, in a very remote area. I heard a story in which two people on a boat atually got caught in it, but survived.
