Lightning Member 335 Member For: 22y 4m 28d Location: Perth, Western Australia Posted 29/12/04 01:20 PM Share Posted 29/12/04 01:20 PM This would have to be the most amazing video that I have EVER seen:http://homepage.mac.com/jlgolson/tsunami.wmv (WARNING: 11.7MB)I am still shaking my head at this. If you want some context of how horrific this was, download this video. Finally for me, it shows the POWER of the water and why there was so much damage and loss of life.Newspaper and TV images just don't convey it as this video does.Amazing.... I am almost lost for words. Sorry, the word amazing seems so shallow, but I am truly gobsmacked at this.Lightning....

It lets you appreciate how high the water was in relation to the street. Unbelievable tragedy that makes me appreciate living in southern Australia where we are removed from such events and other natural threats such as cyclones etc. Unbelievable the power of mother earth when things are out of alignment.

Not exactly a tsunami in the way we imagine, just a relentless rising tide which keeps rising and rising. Possibly an unfortunate experience for the old couple in the clip...looked grim for them.

Not exactly a tsunami in the way we imagine, just a relentless rising tide which keeps rising and rising. Agreed, I think that's the thing that's so shocking about this clip, you see the actual effect of the slow rise. All the media clips I've seen to date just show a small 'wave' breaching the shore and then great expanses of flooded areas. This clip actually shows the destruction and the power of the water. Anyone who's seen NW tides rushing in or out would know what I mean. TurboDewd said: Possibly an unfortunate experience for the old couple in the clip...looked grim for them.Yes, agreed. So sad.An amazing thing to see is to go to amazon.com and watch the online donations going up by the second. I think that people are beginning to realise how serious this is. You can also donate via:http://www.redcross.org.au/ourservices_aro...akeTsunamis.htmLightning....

phantomchic Just because it is, doesn't mean it should be..... Lifetime Members 14,092 Member For: 20y 9m 1d Gender: Female Location: Noosa QLD Posted 29/12/04 02:51 PM Share Posted 29/12/04 02:51 PM I have watched the vid and some news and I still don't think I have any real concept of the fear and disbelief the victims would have experienced as the torrents of water continued to rise and rush towards them.On a more positive note if there is one, it is good to see countries pitch in together to assist. I heard tonight that Australians have donated over 2 million dollars.I agree we are lucky here "downunder" .....(so far)???
