Tsunami/Floods/Earthquake in Asia

I heard on the news tonight that the homeless rate in Sri Lanka is up to the millions and a major epidemic could unfold in the next few days...

My thoughts with everyone affected by this terrible disaster

my friend and his family are away on holiday in Sri Lanka, and they just escaped the waves by climbing on to a roof. They're "alright" though...

Tragic...

I was just watching Filipino TV, and it said that the waves 150m from the seabed. Like..huge.

Mother Nature's a right angry tart. Must be that time of the month.

Terrible tragedy, thoughts go out to those affected.

21.000 dead said CNN.

Malaysia wasnt supposed to be affected in the first place.

Malaysia is 'geografically safe'.

The waves from the middle of the ocean were travelling at 500 mph but slowed down and hit Northern Malaysia at 80mph.

we are out of earthquake zone but this is tsunami

i saw it on tv, Aceh are horrible now. Bangladesh and Phuket are almost like the island under water

Nature does not like to see us celebrate these days. Last year the earthquake in Bam (Iran), and now SouthEast Asia. we really don't deserve it..
and all these tragic things always hit the poor ones.. RIP.

Anyone got any info on how serious it is in Bangkok? Please, I have a very important friend there and she's not responding to my texts and all.

THX god ..lucky it did not affect Singapore

Bangkoks inland isnt it and its on the other side of Thailand , so I think she should be ok.

Condolences to all the victims. Over 24,000 dead. Heard that the tsunami went as far as Somalia of all places. That is just freakin unbelievable.....24,000 just gone like that. Surreall

The waves were moving at 500 miles an hour and hit the coast of India within 2 hours

I'm not trying to be funny but if it did indeed affect Singapore it could have done some serious damage to that little island of yours.

it reach malaysia within 15 minutes i watch tv, some expert said that all of these country are lack of alert system, they should able to prevent it before the waves hit the coast

there wasn't any alert system because the indian ocean never had a tsunami before i think, unlike the pacific ocean. death toll is 27K now i think..
