Un tsunami (津波, del japonés, literalmente gran ola en el puerto) o maremoto es una ola o un grupo de olas de gran energía que se producen cuando algún fenómeno extraordinario desplaza verticalmente una gran masa de agua...
It was probably a couple hours after the largest waves from the tsunami created by the underwater volcanic explosion near Tonga, thousands of miles aways. When I looked at the ocean I couldn't see a distinct wave caused by the tsunami, just the typical surf. But upstream, the creek had foam nearly two feet above the water level, showing that earlier surges had been much higher. This photo was taken on San Luis Creek about 1/4 mile upstream from the ocean and the surges I saw occasionally were only inches high.

At 9,800 feet on famed Mauna Kea (Big Island, HI) my wife and I witness a cloud bank storm in from the west, throwing my mind into a Basho moment wherein I compose in my mind and recite:
‘How quick are the clouds
Rolling over the valley —
Like a tsunami’

The day was clear
The sun shone bright
Upon my island home
When all at once wailing, echoed from her shores.
And it came whirling, swirling, churning and sweeping
A monstrous twenty-foot wave
With a booming voice and mighty hurt
Destroying everything in its way.
Violent Happenings...Sperm Whale Cove, Tasmania...

This little boat stalked off the coast a few years ago. The tsunami that struck Chile in 2010 I deposit more than half a kilometer of the port. It is a ghostly spectacle to see the wreckage of a ship that is never shipwrecked.
The hardest part about painting a tsunami is keeping your canvas on the easel thats why you have to tie down your painting when the winds start to hit ,The term tsunami comes from the Japanese, meaning "harbor" and "wave" .Tsunami are sometimes referred to as tidal waves. In recent years, this term has fallen out of favor, especially in the scientific community, because tsunami actually have nothing to do with tides.A tsunami can be generated when convergent or destructive plate boundaries abruptly move and vertically displace the overlying water.At least 25 tsunami occurred in the last century. Of these, many were recorded in the Asia–Pacific region, particularly Japan.The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami killed over 200,000 people with many bodies either being lost to the sea or unidentified.There have been studies and some attempt to create tsunami waves as a weapon. In World War II, the army in New Zealand trialled explosives in the area of today's Shakespear Regional Park to create small tsunamis, an attempt which failed. News Todays date 3-11-2011 a 8.9 magnitude earthquake triggered a 10-metre tsunami and violently shook buildings in Tokyo

Its the place hardest struck by the immense tsunami in 2004. By what it looks like the rebuild of the place has been quick but still its lacking the number of tourist prior to the tsunami.
We stayed there couple of nights but our main destination was the paradise Similan Island national park.
Tsunami was one of the first OC's I ever thought of like at least 5-7 years ago (had designed the character on heromachine and had worked out her backstory. Can't remember much of the details now unfortunately) I never could figure out a good way to pull her off in purist form, until now.

Backstory: These two are twins that have the power of water manipulation. They've had it ever since birth. What they didn't know was that their mother was Nivian, which is one of the names of the Lady of the Lake in Arthurian legends. Though it's hard to say if they are one in the same, as there are differences. One of the main differences is that their mother Nivian is a water spirit, that came to Cardinal City trying to escape from her obligations as a water spirit. There she met the man who she would later "marry", and have children with. This is how they came to be, and how they ended up being gifted with such great powers. Growing up, Tsunami wanted to learn the truth about her powers, while Torpedo didn't care. Their mother didn't stick around very long, and their father ended up going to prison for some petty crimes. So for the most part it was just the two of them. To get by, they would live on fake identities. Eventually, he signed up for the military when he turned 19. It helped pay for Tsunami's livelihood. He's the younger of the two, but he still feels the need to protect his sister. Even if she's more powerful than him with controlling water. He came home years later, with a plan. They were going to break their dad out once they had enough money to last the rest of their life. Like their father, they ended up becoming criminals. They've done quite a few jobs, and are in perfect sync. Unlike others, Tsunami has a sort of rule where they don't kill, as she doesn't see the need to. Mostly, these two are just trying to get by in a world that likes to screw them over.
Status: Alive and at large.
