Wicked currents. Not much say. I guess "Pray it don't say it" applies here.

Astounding photos.
I may be mistaken thinking the third photo titled "after flood" is actually the water receding just prior to the big waves crashing.

I thought the same thing when I saw that pic.........but the site lists all the other "before" as being before and it didn't label this one as such. I wonder if I got it wrong......I'll double check 'cause it really does look like what you'd expect that huge pre-tsunami build up we've heard about to look like
