| Wow anyone been following this? They figure 100,000 easy to be total if not more thus far it's about 80,000+ and they have alerts out for possible other Tsunami's I guess some of the Islands u can't even see just water. I have been looking around and can't find it but does anyone know how high the Tsunami was that hit? http://edition.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/as...ake/index.html [ December 30, 2004, 01:40 AM: Message edited by: ChizzerZ24 ] |

| After you asked last night if I heard how high the Tsunami was I looked everywhere as well and still have found nothing, but thats crazy they think there may be more. It's even worse that some islands are drowned [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img] |

| Comcast has been reporting on this everyday on their homepage since it happened. They started with about 20,000 dead. Comcast's figure has rose to 77,000 at the moment!
It's also been reported that the earth was knocked off it's axis and the earth's rotation was messed up. As well as islands out near the quake may have shifted. Some as much as 10 meters. Scary! |

Scary! | Wow I have to say I agree with Doug here, that is scary stuff when it comes to that much of a shift cause even the smallest shift in the eco system can cause catastrofic issues with the world.. But.... on the upside that may mean that Canada will now warm up more.... Just kidding, REALLY I was just kidding LOL [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] |

| Give to the red cross if you can folks.
Coming from Srilanka, i cant imagine what would be left there. That little island has been through a lot. This probably just wiped out a good fraction of the population. |
