Horrible tragedy. The death toll is likely to be in the 10's of thousands.

Below is a clip of news coverage of the wave coming onshore and way inland. Taken from a helicopter, the clip runs 16 minutes. You could not out run this thing, and even a lot of people in cars were overtaken. It just keeps coming and coming and coming. Eventually the front edge of the wave is more debris than water, but it just will not stop.

I couldn't get the youtube to link properly.

hard to imagine the terror some went through

many of the survivors have a long road ahead of them

Makes you feel little, small and insignificant.

'Mother Earth' is always trying to kick your ass.

I wish there was something I could do for them. It has been a while since I donated blood. I will do that tomorrow. Maybe that will help.

If there was something I could do over there... I would be on the next flight out.
