Re: Hello!

  . . and, dang, Marilyn, it is one of those FAKE blogs stuck on the
web by those who know better.
Here is the infor from the Snopes (urban legends) site.

Origins:   This is another photograph being circulated as a picture of
the tsunami that struck Indian Ocean shorelines in Asia on 26 December
2004, this one purportedly taken from atop a high-rise building in
Phuket, Thailand.

  This looks to be another case of any image depicting large waves being
grabbed and passed around as a "real photograph" of the December 2004
tsunami. We don't know the original source of this picture yet, but it
doesn't appear to fit its accompanying description because:
        • It looks like something other than a photograph, such as a still
frame from a movie or a composite image.

        • The waves that struck the coast of Thailand after the December
2004 Indian Ocean earthquake were about 4 meters in height, but the
ones pictured here look several stories tall.

        • The skyline depicted doesn't appear resemble the city of Phuket.

        • The traffic flow shown isn't right for Thailand, where motorists
drive on the left-hand side of the road.

Thank you for passing this image along, Jack. It is, indeed, scary.
