Tsunami

Slowly this is starting to sink into my little brain. I think it was the satellite images shown on TV last night that did it for me. Through these I could imagine the washing machine effect of bodies and debris.

The satellite images are available as high res downloads. MSNBC has an animation of the wave as it spread—watch for the reflections of the initial waves. The official description of the earthquake calls it a 'great earthquake.' If you want to see some video and have bitTorrent, this geezer has a large download, while this site has many pix and videos.
