A thirteen year old in Florida called Austin has collected links to 8 videos of the tsunami. When watching some of these, I'm struck by how unviolent the wave looks. Perhaps that's because we are accustomed to the violent wins and rains of hurricane videos. The wave looks like any other wave - it just moves over longer distances. But these things really are violent. Here's a screengrab from Video 3 on Austin's blog, entitled thai.wmv showing the full horror, that would only be eclipsed by the aftermath.

After watching the videos, click over to the Stinging-Nettle to find out how to contribute, but ignore the shallow, one-note commentary.
