Incredible...

To compare some of the destruction, I created a handy animated GIF (1.6mb). http://www.zeldaclassic.com/eckels/eckels/tsunami.gif

That animated .gif is great, seeing land being taken away is a spectacle. When I first saw the first picture, I thought it was fake, but seeing the url, I thought it was unlikely, and was amazed at how high it was.
