A link to the pix about half-way down the article - scary stuff - one
wonders what they were thinking about when taking those last pictures.

Here's something I stumbled across on the net- the links are consecutive but
I picked out the more obvious ones for anyone who doesn't want to go thru
all of them. There's a before/after comparison of each pic.

News of the European impact of the tsunami is only now reaching the USA.
You and our other European friends have our sympathies and condolences.

The tragedy of the recent tsunami has now in Scandinavia, particularly in
Sweden, turned into an unprecedented national mental trauma as the real losses
of human lives and the subsequent personal despair and sorrow of those
immediately affected becomes evident.

But Bob, for some odd reason, people don't want to hear about those things.
Maybe that's because, unlike natural disasters, an infusion of $$ and
