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.

The women displaying their belongings inside a hut. No furniture, no cupboards. You can see the vegetables right at the bottom and all their clothes, yes that is all they have in a vessel, in the back you can see mattresses piled on the floor and to the right, water and other supplies. The hut had a height of about 6 feet at the peak and tapers down to about 4 feet on the sides. The hut was about 50 square feet in area.
