Very scary stuff. Only 14 pictures (with before and after). I can't imagine this happening.

Numbers 5, 6 and 13 are incredible.

I was thouroughly unimpressed...till I got to 5....I let out quite an audible Ohhh!!

[Silent_Killer]

jeez, i feel sorry for all those people over there.

Numbers 5, 6 and 13 are incredible.

Yeah, it's completely under water. I feel so bad for the victims :(

Oh, and look at number 9. On the very right, where the water line is, all of the boats are stacked up from flowing downstream.

[Slayer]

The ones near the end are incredible. Entire forests just completely washed away...

wow

[LA_MERC_Dragonlady[s]]

My heart goes out to all those people.. I can't watch the news with out crying about it.

It's very tragic, and I dont know about yall, even as bad as it seems to me, it's got to be worse, I cant even put 200,000 people(roughly, I'm sure it's higher than this by now.) into perspective. Like CFH said, I wasnt impressed until picture 5 and then was just amazed. Going back to the 1st picture, you see how stirred up the water is, if you stir the water with a boat, it'll go back in a matter of minutes, the force that hit them had to be unimaginable.

omg.... that is amazing :(

[NoXiOuS]

what scares me is this thought "Can it happen here?" can something like that stir up in the gulf?

[SaBeR512]

Im doubting a tsunami in the gulf, maybe a really bad hurricanie thou :sad:

[LA_MERC_Cowboy_From_Hell]

I don't think there are any tectonic plates that meet in the gulf so as a result of an earthquake...no. California on the other hand.....

Good thing about here is all our major fault lines are well in from the coast. There are some that are out to sea and thats not to say The San Andreas wouldnt effect the Pacific Ocean but it's alot less likely then if it was under the ocean.

What is the worst natural disaster in recent history(last 1000-1500 years)? This kind of thing interests me so just curious.

i think pretty much the worst thing happening in recent history was the explosion of Krakatoa wich send of a zunami which killed millions like 150 jears ago.by the way a zunami can hit the east coast as well .zunamis don t have to come from earthquakes ,underwater everlances can set them off too!
