Tsunami Photos

A grammar school buddy of mine, Roger Wisinski, sent me this link to photos of the tsunami disaster in South Asia and India.

Ironically, some of the "Before" photos remind me of where I live today, not far from Venice Beach in Los Angeles. In fact, in some cases the tsunami eliminated buiildings, trees, shrubs, etc. over an area going three miles inland! That scares the hell out of me!

Judging from some of these photos, the area from the Venice coastline to at least Lincoln Boulvard and possible as far inland as Centinela could have been wiped out. The Venice Skills Center, where I take classes, and everything around it would have been destroyed.

Just look at these tsunami photos by clicking on this link:

Had the tsunami hit here, a good portion of Venice, Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades and many other communities up and down the Southern California coast would have been destroyed.
