Well obviously they mean below

Not obvious to me

They famously got inundated with tsunami water. It's pretty reasonable to assume they were below the line of tsunami high water marks.

How is that reasonable to assume? You can have a tsunami that is higher than the previous tsunamis, hence, exceeding previous water marks.

Unless they mean beyond the reach of the flood waters.

I got very confused too. After reading a few times I interpreted it as a typo.
