The "shot at" times below are file time stamps. The camera clock is slightly fast, by about 1-2 minutes. I did not add anything to the time stamps times. I make a couple of reference time checks using my watch, which is pretty accurate, but since it's an analog watch the time noted in videos may be off by a minute or so also. MOV03417 Shot at 7:15am local time This is the retreit of the first wave. What looks like waves in the distance at first is actually the water draining off of the reef, dropping perhaps 10-20 doen. The water then rises, sending in the second surge. The beach level is about 15 feet below the road bed, so it takes a few seconds for the "basin" to fill before it comes over the road. Several layers of waves are seen. I kind of chicken out, because I didn't know if the second wave was going to be as big as the first one. MOV03421 Shot at 7:19am Short clip that shows some debris in village. Also shot of the back of the village, where my daughter Burgundy was clinging to the mountain side with her kids. The water came perhaps 7-10 feet from her. MOV03429 Shot at 7:20am Short clip that shows back of Amaluia shortly after 2nd surge, including a large eel that was trying to get back into the water. MOV03429 (poor) MOV03431 Shot at 7:21am Short clip walking around our village showing damage. MOV03432 Shot at 7:27am Third wave coming in. Very clear "dome" showing, especially to the left, where it came up onto the road at the point, where elevation was at least 40 feet above sea level. I was still a bit chicken, afraid it would surge in quickly, so I was standing back ready to run to the mountain. It was hard to tell if the water was rising or falling until I walked forward. MOV03433 Shot at 7:28am Short shot of water draining off reef. I had to turn the video off in order to zoom in on next video. MOV03434 Shot at 7:29am Good video of water draining off reef, and the start of the surge four coming in. MOV03435 Shot at 7:31am Very good video of surge four coming in. Lots of "layers" showing (wave on top of wave). MOV03436 Shot at 7:32am Short video of surge four receeding. MOV03437 Shot at 7:33am Short video of surge four receeding. MOV03439 Shot at 7:46am Several minutes later. I was making sure my family was okay on the mountain. At the end, this is draining to start either surge six or seven. MOV03440 Shot at 7:48am Good shot of the draining off the reef. It's hard to tell from the video, but the drop off the edge of the reef into the ocean is probably at least 20 feet. If a person were to be standing out there on the edge, you would barely be able to see them. MOV03442 Shot at 7:50am Short clip showing the front of High Chief Momosea's home. MOV03443 Shot at 7:51am Surge six (or seven) coming in. Hopefully the video can be enhanced to show the boulders on the road. These rocks weight hundreds of pounds, and they were tossed around like ping pong balls. Also shows damage to the roof of the bus stop, which is about 7-8 feet above road (perhaps 22 feet above the beach), so water level of the first wave was probably close to 20 feet above sea level, with waves on top of that strong enough to damage the roof. MOV03448 Shot at 7:58am Reference time check 8:00am. Surge seven or eight. Good shot of what I refer to as "angry water". MOV03449 Shot at 7:59am Short clip as I head over our bridge to the other side of our village. Water from last surge is draining out under bridge. MOV03450 Shot at 8:00am Short clip of two-story house in our village. The entire front wall on the first story is gone, with serious damage to both sides and rear, but people are sitting underneath (not too smart). Eddie Maiava (the guy in the grey shirt) is the owner. MOV03451 Shot at 8:02am Short clip of damage and scary incident. Eddie Maiava and his mother were pushed out through the back wall of the house by the rental car that had been sitting in their driveway (where I am standing). You can see the car wedged into the debris behind the house. MOV03462 Shot at 8:22am Short clip. We are driving in truck, returning to our village from neighboring village of Asili. We had been attempting to reach the Alataualua elementary school in Seetaga, but the road in Asili was completely blocked by downed power lines and other debris. At least two people died in Asili, although the people we spoke to said everyone was okay. The water had almost gone over the road while we were in Asili (only about 6-7 ft above sea level), and this clip shows the water draining again, probably for the 9th or 10th cycle. The middle also give some idea of how far away the edge of the reef is from the village where I was shooting the other videos. MOV03470 Shot at 8:52am We continued to Auma, in Leone. It took awhile to get there because we had to clear the road going around the point from Amaluia to Leone, which was filled with debris and large boulders. I don't have any video of that, unfortunately. The tip of the point is much higher elevation - at least 30 feet above sea level, and probably higher. The waves washed up hard enough to carry good sized boulders up onto the road, along with trees and other trash that had been in the water. The clip is short, but it shows a quick panorama of Auma. I'm standing in front of what used to be a store, where I would have been buying snacks and juice for my grandkids on the way to school just about the time the first wave of the tsunami hit. One person died inside the store. At the end of the clip, we're walking toward the bridge that was destroyed. MOV03471 Shot at 8:53am Short clip showing damaged bridge in Auma. MOV03472 Shot at 8:53am Short clip showing damaged bridge in Auma, hearing about kids that were killed on the bridge when the wave hit. MOV03473 Shot at 8:54am Short clip aimed across bridge gap. A US Army truck from the Reserve Center is in the distance. MOV03474 Shot at 8:56am Short clip from near bridge, showing truck wedged into tree, and another shot of damage. MOV03479 Shot at 9:16am At Auma bridge. We have improvised a walkway beneith the guard rail to allow the injured we have in the back of our truck to be brought across to the other side. MOV03480 Shot at 9:23am At Auma bridge, sliding a rather large Samoan woman across to the other side by balancing her on the guard rail. The other woman, who was in an emergency stretcher, has already been slid across the same way. We had to use a piece of plywood for this woman because the ambulance only had one stretcher. The woman was loaded into the back of the Army truck. Also an injured, but happy, dog at the end. MOV03481 Shot at 9:26am Going back through Auma on our way back to Amaluia. === FINAL VIDEO ===
