Love the bit where the person in the car in front goes to run away and then decides best they run back and shut their door.

Just got one of the Japanese guys at work to translate some of it. He said that the video of the flood started 1hour after the earthquake and he thinks the driver of the car was still in it.
I dont think my truck would float anywhere near as well as some of those cars. If the cars still running by the end of it it must have a pretty good snorkel.

The split second choise to run inland to find high ground could save your life. I would have driven up over that median over to the highest building I could see/ get in.
