Tsunami Wave

This picture was taken on the banks of Sumatra Island (the height of waves was of approx. 32 m = 105 ft). It was found saved in a digital camera, after the disaster.


We dont know for sure, but likely the one who took this is not alive any more (it was just a matter of seconds).

That's a cloud, surely?

if thats genuine, and not the work of some software geek. that is frightning

It's a hoax.

WTF Where did you find that ? But that will pale into insignificance if an island of the coast of Africa i think collapses you to a Volcanic eruption would cause an Super Tsunami that would reach a height of 650 meters high that is over 2000 ft. And that would head straight for America. Taking out the entire coast including New York Miami ETC. And they say its not if but when.

Thanks god for that.

I think you're talking about the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands?

The island is essentially a volcano, and during a future erruption half of it could potentially slide into the Atlantic in one piece causing a giant mega tsunami. I've seen the documentary and it's scary! Swiss scientists did a test in their wave tank using conservative estimates, and recorded an initial wave hight of 700 metres!

That research was a few years ago, so not sure if things have changed?

That's the one Chief. It is very scary the Island is one massive tank of water which has stored for millions of years. In an eruption it would heat the water and it would expand resulting in half the island tipping into the sea. In 1948 the island slipped a few metres and then stopped. The next eruption or the 50th eruption could lead to this. Its a case of when it happens.

That'd be the one. Scary stuff!

Worth watching if it's on, or if you can get it on youtube.

i think you are talking about one of the canary islands, there`s a steep piece of land maybe cliff that ain`t that secure , just a small earthquake/ volcano will set it off

If anyone's interested the documentary is on youtube and well worth watching!

I have seen the documentary Chief its a recommend viewing

thats not sumatra, it doesnt look anything like that. i know because i have been there. to me it looks exactly like one of the many huge fog banks that roll in off the california coast at dusk time frequently. saw one when i was in santa monica a few years ago, freaked me right out as i wonderd what it was but it happens all the time. as if a digital camera would survive a tsunami that big ffs.

thats not Sumatra Island its the clouds looming over dave jones's house

Thank God he sold his horses

its, as stated a dust cloud over OZ

but interestingly there is a yank who say an earthquake (well sunarmi-volcanic erruption) is going to end tomorrow, hes in carolina, which is one of the states thats gonna go under water, wonder what odds you can get on it hapening tomorrow

it looks like a sandstorm

HELLO ITS A HOAX

The photograph is certainly a compelling one. However, it does not show a tsunami wave nor was it taken in Sumatra. The description that comes with the image is pure nonsense. In fact, the photograph shows a massive dust storm that hit the town of Griffith, NSW Australia on November 13 2002.

Code:

The residents of Griffith rushed to seal their houses at dusk yesterday as a fierce dust storm raced into the town without warning, propelled by winds of up to 90 kilometres an hour.

Rolling in from the south west after a scorching day of 36C, homes were engulfed by the cloud which turned the sky pitch black.

The storm cloud was three kilometres from the town when this photograph was taken by local electrical engineer Denis Couch. Within five minutes it reached his home and simply took over, the winds spreading gritty dust around for an hour.

"I've seen dust storms but I don't think I've ever seen anything as exotic as that," Mr Couch said. Griffith had "just under an inch" of rain almost two months ago, and nothing since, he added.

The original photograph has a date stamp of "12.11.2002" (November 12, 2002). The prankster who launched this hoax apparently removed the date stamp because it would have immediately destroyed the illusion that the photograph was taken during the 2004 tsunami.

HELLO ITS A HOAX

Yes, it was pointed out about the third reply.

What would happen if another tsunami was to hit Sumatra again ? Like if a Tsunami as great as the Boxing Day Tsunami was hit sumatra again. What would happen ?

its not a tsunami, its a dust storm happened in america not so long ago

SAND STORMMMMMM!

Bit like this one.

There is only going to be one winner when mother nature is pissed off, them poor people.
