[Rajah]

Wow..

 

[Disney Debbie]

I was just looking at those. It's astounding. I can't help but wonder if they realized those were there last moments.

 

[kaylajr]

how scary
i wonder what they were thinking at the time

 

[DemonLlama]

I can't imagine they understood what was coming at them. In fact, the last pic looks as though they may have just begun to get it, as they have moved farther inland and are not right on the beach.

My first reaction after seeing each photo was exactly the same as Rajah.

Wow...

I can't imagine they understood what was coming at them.

I agree.

 

[Laura]

[KristiKelly]

I agree with everyone else - Wow!

Thanks, don't know how I missed that.

How horrific- imagine knowing those were the last images your loved ones saw.

Wow.


It is just surreal.

I remember going out days before a hurricane was supposed to hit, and watching the huge waves roll in. It's so easy to lose your sense of perspective when you are watching the waves. I have some pictures and the only way you can tell how large the waves really are, is by seeing how close they come to touching the pier. After the storm parts of the pier had been washed away.

That must have been horrible for these people.

I just read this...unbelievable! First of all, the photo of the couple was gorgeous...what a tremendous gift for their son to have. The tsumani photos themselves were just incredible. Holy cow~ talk about a chronicle. Sad.

Strange coincidence...I was just looking at them Charlie before seeing your thread.
