Most tsunami satellite images showed the aftermath of the disaster. But in this image, DigitalGlobe shot Sri Lanka's coast just as the waves were hitting it. The swirling of the ocean is clearly visible.

Hmmm... Not so sure...

I got these e-mailed to me as well, and I think they've been photoshopped. The second pic you posted looks especially faked.
