Not sure if anyone posted this already. Just one more reason to stay away of the water. I'm sorry people lost their lives, but I have always been fascinated by the power of a tsunami.

Yeah - it is stuck at the top. I, too, am fascinated by tsunamis. But being terrified of water (I can't swim - just added another person yesterday to the list of people that have promised to teach me lol), I am glad that I am not that close to a big body of H2O. (I know the lake is close, but it ain't that close lol.)

I read somewhere that the wave was "20 feet tall", but that has to be a misprint, right? I mean, 20 feet isn't all that high in all reality, and I would swear Greg Brady surfed a wave that high while in Hawaii. Granted, the whole deal about it traveling at 400 MPH is pretty dang scary, but even still, once it hit shore I would think it would have died out before destroying as much as it did. Maybe I just don't understand it all that well, but 20' isn't real high.

 

 

***ah, never mind, just read the sticky above! excuse me all, been out of town and sick for a while...a little slow on the uptake here***
