It's nasty and horrible.

more to the point it came out of no where!...it's sad to see all the destruction and a little disturbing that some of the news shows over here are showing pictures of the dead but i spose that cant be helped. my heart goes out to the unfortunate, and it would be good to see everyone (as in governments and stuff) pitch in and help!

i was reading a newspaper and it had an article about some of the aussies who were there at the time, one guy was saying that while he was at a beach (can't remember where) the water was sucked a kilometre out to sea then came rushing back in 10m waves. scary.

its a teribble disaster that couldn't have been prevented, lets just hope that nothing like this hapens again for a while!
