People Fleeing For Safety After Tsunami Hits Greenland, Following Earthquake. by Maruchi203(m): 8:25am On Jun 20, 2017
A four magnitude earthquake triggered Tsunami off
the coast of Greenland, leading residents to flee for
dear life. A dramatic footage has now been released
showing the extent of damage done by the natural
disaster.
A woman filmed the scene as houses floated into the sea and debris scattered across the floor on Saturday. Four people are reportedly missing after the tsunami hit the tiny village, nine people are
believed to be injured, with two of them in critical
condition. 11 houses were also swept away. Some
residents posted images to social media showing
huge waves breaking over buildings in the town. Residents have been evacuated according to the
local broadcaster KNR, after the four magnitude
earthquake struck off Uummannaq, a small island
above the Arctic Circle. Police confirmed the incident,
saying: "The huge waves risk breaking over
Upernavik and its environs. The residents of
Nuugaatsiaq are going to be evacuated." Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said it
was a "terrible natural catastrophe at Nuugaatsiaq." Meterologist Trine Dahl Jensen told Danish news
agency Ritzausaid: "It's not normal, such a large
quake in Greenland." Luckily, no one has been reported dead though police
say they cannot rule out the possibility of that at this
stage.
