Startling pictures of the tsunami. These point out how little people understood what was going on; look at the number of spectators. That's not to say I'd have understood it either.
Found at American Street.

I read an interview in The Province given by an ex-police commissioner. He and his family were staying at a hotel on the coast. He said he, his family and lots of people were at the beaching watching the wave come in. He said they were marveling at the size of it and thought it quite odd when all the water went out leaving a couple large boats (40 foot!) stranded in the sand.
Uh, hello?! I've seen and read enough to know that is never a good sign.
