Tsunam - what?
Glenn Reynolds spotted this first, and also updated the fact that these Tsunami pictures are bogus. They are pics of tidal bores on rivers in Asia.
Check the next to last photo. I think the Thai victims of the tsunami probably weren't laughing when the wave came in.
Update:
Aaron R. has succeeded in proving to me that the pictures are not of the tsunami in Asia. The "wayback machine" keeps copies of old websites and this link shows that these images predate the current disaster. This does not solve the problem that several people/websites are claiming these pictures are from tidal events/reservoir floods, etc. in entirely different cities/countries, but it does solve part of the mystery.
In the end time&place are only slightly relevant...
Erm, "slightly relevant"? So the fact that these are not tsunami pictures is not relevant? Okay, whatever.
