Thanks for posting. After watching videos I still have not seen a 30ft wave...wonder if anyone has video of that?

If they did, I imagine they are dead.

All the clips we're seeing are from Thailand or Sri Lanka, but we know the worst of it went to Aceh which was 100 miles from the epicenter. The firt video is purportedly from Aceh, and it seems like receding water is at the height of the roofs.

This was one posted in another thread yesterday. It might not be 30 feet, but it is a killer:

You won't see a 30 foot wave. The wave would be 30 ft. at the beach level, but anybody that close would not have survived it. By the time they get inland they are smaller, but still deadly. Look at the video from Indonesia.

I haven't seen video yet that really drives home the height of these tsunamis, but www.boston.com posted these two pictures and said they were new as of today. Both of these show the immense nature of these waves unlike anything else I have seen, especially the first one.

I havent seen a "30" but the height is from tough to tip and I am not sure if that includes the tidal surge which seems like that was the bulk of the damage
