Is that real or some photo shop job? I was watching where some areas the wave was like 80 feet high, and it showed where it took away all the vegetation on the side of these hills way the hell up.
|
there is no way that is real...
|
its a chop, the tide goes out before the tsunami hits
|
here are real pictures..
this is from before the water hit the shore (shi lanka) http://www.digitalglobe.com/images/t...26_2004_dg.jpg |

Yeah the first problem is a photoshop
|
My understanding of a tsunami is that the wave itself is not that big height, but in width, like a mile wide. So where a normal wave, breaks, then recedes, the tsunami wave breaks and keeps pushing forward before recieding.
Storm surge, like from a hurricane would be more likely to have a wall of water like that. |
and it goes REAL f00kin fast
|
yeah all of the pics and vids that i saw on the news show that the wave is rather small. if the wave was as big as the ones in a couple of those pics im sure that they would have seen it coming
|
I heard that they knew it was coming, and many even flocked to the beach to watch it, then realized all too late exactly how big it was. Anyone know what the toll is up to now? The video from Phucket (I love that name) beach kinda shows how big this was, it was the one with the guys camming it from the roof of their hotel.

Great, take all the joy out of it for me https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Saw a new video today of some little kid sitting on the beach as the wave came in. He was probably only 5 or so years old and only stood up as it was about to hit him. There was so much water rushing in it just consumed him, very sad to see.

Storm surge, like from a hurricane would be more likely to have a wall of water like that. no way. storm surge is like a tidal wave. It isn't very violent, it just keeps rising. Its almost like the tide fogot to stop rising. When hurricane George came here a few years back I was on the water in Biloxi. It came into the yard about 5 feet deep. It was bad. But it was gradual. |
I was thinking that too, the storm surge in the hurricanes I went through were fairly gradual too.
|
holy crap.. just watched the video.. man its sad..
