The woman is running toward the five people (her family) in picture three....Notice her body language as the wave overtakes them in three....
I'm reading horror and resignation.
her body language seems to hint that she is very tired from running and also that she can see what is coming. and also utter disbelief at what she is seeing.
I was in a Typhoon off Kores and the waves broke over the bow of my carrier,at least 50-60- feet.
Don;t know what the wave height was in the pics but further out from shore near the islands they could have been 40 feet.
One thing for sure they were travelling at more than 90 mph.
Thye can reach 500 mph.
What a feeling of helplessness and fear for the lives of her family. Shear terror.
