"COLOMBO (Reuters) - A huge earthquake hit southern Asia on Sunday, setting
off a tsunami that drowned hundreds in Sri Lanka and India, sent Indonesians
rushing to high ground and washed away bathers on the Thai tourist island of
Phuket. "

ISTR watching a programme about Tsunamis warning about this sort of disaster
for underdeveloped areas without mass communications.

The following is a link to the discussion about this... horrifying ! My
thoughts are with all affected even though there's absolutely nothing
that could have been done about it !
