A Taste of The Red Pill..

2005-06-16T01:00:00.000-04:00

What is left..?

2005-06-16T00:59:00.001-04:00

Things scatered on the beach..

2005-06-16T00:59:00.000-04:00

*sigh*

2005-06-16T00:58:00.000-04:00

There used to be kudisaygal here, and a road.. .the road is still there partially.. and the well is still there.. everything else is gone..wiped out..

2005-06-16T00:55:00.000-04:00

Sorry if that's too graphic.. :(

2005-06-16T00:53:00.000-04:00

Dead bodies being taken away.. I couldn't bare to look.. so it turned up like that.. *sigh*..

2005-06-16T00:52:00.000-04:00

I hope they all get their homes and livelihoods back.. :(

2005-06-16T00:51:00.000-04:00

I liked this picture.. even though it's whitened out..

2005-06-16T00:49:00.001-04:00

There used to be kudisaigal all along here.. :(

2005-06-16T00:49:00.000-04:00

this area is a bit more closer to the beach.. hence the almost 'flatened' appearance..

2005-06-16T00:48:00.000-04:00

This is what the fishing nets caught on that day.. :(

2005-06-16T00:47:00.000-04:00

*sigh* Yet another damaged house.. :(

2005-06-16T00:46:00.000-04:00

Emptied space.. wonder what was here..

2005-06-16T00:45:00.001-04:00

Water left over from the waves..

2005-06-16T00:45:00.000-04:00

More of that same house.. :(

2005-06-16T00:44:00.000-04:00

I hated taking pictures of them in this state.. but it speaks volumes about what they lost, and how hard it is to give it back to them..

2005-06-16T00:43:00.000-04:00

Another home destroyed by the waves..

2005-06-16T00:42:00.000-04:00

More houses.. :(

2005-05-07T13:51:00.000-04:00

I felt like I invaded their privacy... imposed on their suffering.. :(

2005-05-07T13:49:00.000-04:00

I don't even know what this building was.. :(

2005-05-07T13:48:00.000-04:00

2005-05-07T13:47:00.001-04:00

2005-05-07T13:47:00.000-04:00

Another 'lucky' building..

2005-05-07T13:46:00.000-04:00

Makes you wonder how everything would have looked.. :(

2005-05-07T13:45:00.001-04:00

I don't think I want to find out what the red marks on the trees are.. :(

2005-05-07T13:45:00.000-04:00

More transmission lines..

2005-05-07T13:44:00.001-04:00

Transmission lines...

2005-05-07T13:44:00.000-04:00

Must have come home to analyze the damage..

2005-05-07T13:42:00.001-04:00

Panai maram..

2005-05-07T13:38:00.000-04:00

Imagine the sheer power of the waves to have moved such a heavy equipment to this state..

2005-05-07T13:37:00.000-04:00

Another house destroyed totally..! :(

2005-05-07T13:36:00.000-04:00

Another damaged house.. one of the lucky ones that wasn't completely destroyed..

2005-05-07T13:35:00.001-04:00

You can see inside the building now..

2005-05-07T13:35:00.000-04:00

I took lots of pictures of this place because that was the first place I went to, and I was shocked by the destruction..

2005-05-07T13:33:00.000-04:00

More of the roof scattered around..

2005-05-07T13:32:00.000-04:00

I guess that must be the roof..

2005-05-07T13:31:00.000-04:00

Desk, chairs and lots of books all scatterred around.. wonder what happened to the roof..

2005-05-07T13:30:00.001-04:00
