"Dude! You never know. It could have been a woman."
It might have been a cow too. Or a robot. Or maybe a camera just got bumped.
I'll been money it was a guy.

Too bad that Barbra Streisand's Malibu home is high up on a bluff, and not beachfront.....I'd like for her to be feeling some angst.

It says he's on a pier, but to me it looks like a surfboard.
Leave it to the Americans.

A click on the images blows it up for a good perspective. ---
Yes I enlarged it. And that lighthouse was 40 feet above the sea level befor the water arrived. Unbelievable!
Someone posted that on the morning after the earthquake.

You know if they had built the lighthouse on the bluff overlooking the road instead of right next to the road they would have been ok. You can see the high water mark in the after photo.

"You know if they had built the lighthouse on the bluff overlooking the road instead of right next to the road they would have been ok. You can see the high water mark in the after photo."An excellent assessment.
That's part of that "woulda, coulda, shoulda", syndrome. ;)

Naw! No one would be "standing" nonchalant, arms crossed, not a hair out of place, the wind at God knows how many MPH.Look at his shirt....it's not even blowing one bit. Gimme a break. This photo is like the guy at the twin towers with the suicide plane behind him while he poses for a picture. In this photo weather like this would lift him up like a toothpick!

The caption mentions a tsunami, with no mention of a typhoon. A tsunami may occur in a dead calm, and is neither created by nor influenced by weather.
