I could not resist publishing this picture to the blog, this is the most defining picture of the Tsunami I have seen. This picture was taken by a tourist in Mahabalipuram when the second wave hit the coast. To the far right you can see the shore temple which is about 40 feet in height, then compare the wave to the left, I reckon the wave must have been about 60 feet or more. Note - this is a reproduction of a picture and not a picture taken by me.
