I got this in an email. This was taken by someone just seconds before the Tsunami hit the quiet suburb.

Post your thoughts please....

Right on!

Here's the full detail of this hoax:

According to this message, an attached photograph depicts a street in Sumatra just before it was inundated by a gigantic wave from the tsunami that hit Indonesia in 2004. The message claims that the image was recovered from a digital camera found at the scene more than a year after the disaster, presumably taken just moments before the photographer lost his or her life to the wave.

The photograph is certainly a compelling one. However, it does not show a tsunami wave nor was it taken in Sumatra. The description that comes with the image is pure nonsense. In fact, the photograph shows a massive dust storm that hit the town of Griffith, NSW Australia on November 13 2002.

i was about to say the same that it's a dust storm , and i've seen pictures showing massive waves ,taken by few people who were on top stories of hotels near the coast , and stayed unharmed during that disaster , plus the architecture of houses showed that this must a place like , U.S or newer towns in europe or australia but atleast not indonesia
( didn't notice the dates though)
