tsunami pictures: 2 days after








So the day after the day after the tsunami, people were burning all the piles of trash that had accumulated.  It was a cloudy day anyway, but the smoke coming from the harbor area definitely added a gloomy feel to it all.







This is Josie and her office. The ceiling kind of slid down the wall, which is why it looks like it's about 5 feet high in there.  Her windows were all blown out and most of the furniture that used to be in her office was swept outside or into the main office area.




Most of my files ended up like this: wrapped around trees and bushes outside.  So much for confidentiality.



The front desk was swept outside too, complete with telephone and computer in a tangled mess underneath it.  I just love that David decided to make the most of its new location.



  

About 6 cars, a couple portable generators, and our security guard shack were all pushed behind the building by the force of the wave.  Several of these cars had people in them at the time.  Luckily everyone was fine.
