The earthquake generated tsunami on March 11, 2011 produced waves that surpassed four story buildings, or more than 40 feet, as witnessed in Shizugawa and elsewhere near Japan's coast.

The tsunami was so powerful its waves traveled the entire Pacific Ocean and were felt from the coasts of Alaska to that of Chile.
