Tsunami Phuket(Thailand....The Wave
 


  From this picture you may understand and get a better perspective how big the First Tsunami Wave was.
  The White bldg closest to you is 21 Stories HIGH... the Brownish Bldg in the middle of the picture
  is 34 Stories HIGH.. NOW compare with the top of the Wave coming in....

That is one scarey wave!  It made my heart skip a beat just by looking at the picture.  Can imagine what those poor people felt?  It makes me wonder if the end is drawing near.
