great insight. People are comparing this to the Thailand Tsunami. It's much worse.
The Tsumani made it's landfall, pushed the water and everything else out of the way and receeded somewhat.
There were no storm clouds, there were no 180+ mph wind gusts, there were no spawned tornadoes 200 miles and further inland.
Trying to get our minds around the enormity of the logistics of this is going to take some time.
No, it's different, but not worse.
