26/12 A crowd of people on a hill top waiting for more big waves,3 hours earlier I was alarmed by people shouting,and running away from the beach,I got off lightly,I was in B5 and the water only came up to B4.lots of damage,we spent the next few hours waiting,some went back,some stayed all night.All I hear now is ambulance sirens,on the way from helicopters to the hospital in Krabi town.
Yo,my man....dude,etc....will try to put some up,but i was very protective of my D70,and my life,so did,nt get that close,salt water and digital dont go together! will e mail soon. D
Thanks Daniel,what a mess all around,im thankfull i was untouched,but met many who lost much. Phi phi seemed to take the brunt along with phuket in the Krabi area.
David, thank you for the picture which helps to bridge the distance. I am deeply distressed about the catastrophe and my thoughts are with you and the children, women and men around you. Daniel
