Tsunamis - More first-hand reports from yachts.

Just seen a video on the news from a Norwegian tourist showing the wave coming ashore. At the top of the picture you could see a yacht coming ashore also what looked like two jetskiers in the surf.
Oh any news of Blair yet? or isnt the devastation great enough to drag his sorry arse back from his holiday?
 
/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gifThis terribly sad event reminds me of when I was a serviceman on Christmas Island in the Pacific in the 60s. The mean height of the atoll was 4 feet. We received information from Honolulu radio that a 4 foot tsunami, caused by an undersea earthquake off Japan was heading our way at 200mph!. We spent the night arguing about how 500+ squaddies could get on the water towers and cling on. Fortunately, the wave expired before it reached us. Any other Grapplers out there ?.
