Awesome video of the wave hitting a beach. (Admin Moderator, I felt this worthy of it's own thread instead of posting deep into existing threads. Pull if necessary)

I just went back to nbc10.com's site and tried it from there but it's not working either.

Maybe their server's are having a problem.

I saw this...it is not a "huge wave" it's more like a wave that sweeps up while you are laying on the beach. The terrible video is the one where people are clutching to what looks like a telephone pole as the waters come raging down the street. A few could not hold on and were swept away.

An Indian man cries as he holds the hand of his eight-year-old son, who was killed
in a tsunami in Cuddalore, southern India, December 27, 2004. The death toll in a
tsunami that slammed into coasts from India to Indonesia topped 22,000 as rescuers
scoured the sea for missing tourists and fears of disease grew as soldiers raced to
recover rotting bodies. (Arko Datta/Reuters)

The slideshow works; their server's overwhelmed right now. That's the message I'm getting at 5:14pm EST.

Good link.

The wave is more of a step function. No way to surf that one. No curl.

Any way to estimate the height of that wave from the pictures?

It looks like the white foam of the ocean is almost as high as the trees...

I heard the tsunami in the 1963 Alaskan earthquake was 1000 feet. Can anyone verify it? Thanks.
