This kind of thing is hard to fathom for most of us. So many people and children losing family and homes.
Lots more people on vacation over there than I imagined too.

Sad
I cringe at even thinking that something like that could happen to my family. The poor parents who lost their children and the poor children who lost their parents just breaks my heart.
I saw on the internet that the one island moved 100 feet to the South West and that the Earth actualy wobbled on it's axis. They said it was to early to tell exactly how much of an effect this will have on the Earth's rotation.
I also have two very close Thai friends who go to Thailand every Christmas and I have no idea how they are doing yet.

I was reading earlier today that India and Sri Lanka are NOT on the tsunami warning list. (newspaper article that I can't find online)
"Countries that are members of the system include Canada, Australia, China, Colombia, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, North Korea, Peru and Russia."
I thought it was interesting that the US was not mentioned.

The US is a part of the warning system. Thats why it isn't on the notify list.
Places like Sri Lanka and India don't even have monitoring equipment.
Although at 500 - 800 Kph. Most places like indonesia don't stand a chance to get a warning out before the thing hits.

I also understand that the warning systems exist only for the Pacific, not the Indian Ocean. Hell of a way to get a wake up call on this.
I saw some really horrible CNN stuff early this morning. Reporters and workers on some smaller islands and areas trying to breathe without barfing because of the dead body stench. Food is fine but they need Cholera and Tetanus medication by now. Have to have lots of clean water to treat stuff like Cholera. It's incredibly bad.

It's unreal Svenn.
70% of Sri Lankan coastline was under water. 1,000,000 Sri Lankans homeless. Population on this island, which is the size of West Virginia, is about 20 million. Crowded place, by my standards. 5% of a country is homeless....Yikes.
