That's interesting! 3-4 foot waves are common on the ocean, so I would never have suspected that the tsunami that caused this much devastation would have a wave height that small.

I was envisioning these 50 feet walls of water....

Actually, it was more like 6-10 METERS high, which is closer to 19.5 to 32.5 feet high. Look at the wave in the last photo in relation to the masts of the sailboats. They are clearly closer to 30 feet high. Scary. I doubt that any of those poor folks survived. They were just out too far to be able to grab onto a tree or something to keep them all from being sucked out to sea when the waves receded.
