    Watch out on the news channels mate, there is a helpline but I can't find it on the bbc website. Might want to try that.

    More than 10,000 people have been killed across southern Asia in massive sea surges triggered by the strongest earthquake in the world for 40 years.

    The 8.9 magnitude quake struck under the sea near Aceh in north Indonesia, generating a wall of water that sped across thousands of kilometres of sea.

    More than 4,100 died in Indonesia, 3,500 in Sri Lanka and 2,000 in India.

    Casualty figures are rising over a wide area, including resorts in Sri Lanka and Thailand packed with holidaymakers.


    Now you can shut up TWATNOFISH

    It'll happen to america soon, with the Cumbre Vieja volcano on the Canary Islands threatening to literally explode any day/month/year soon. It'll also get the South Coast of Britain too.

    I'm glad I'm moving well away.

    Asia battles earthquake aftermath
    Phuket
    The Thai tourist resort of Phuket was badly hit by the tsunami
    Survivors and rescuers are battling through the devastation left by sea surges that killed more than 16,000 people on Asia's southern shores.


    16,000 and rising now, it makes me very very sad and i hope its not gonna be much higher than that....

    I know. I was the same when I caught up on things. If it had happened on a normal weekday I'm sure it would have had more exposure:confused:

    No doubt we will now consider early warning systems in coastal areas. I suppose it must take a while for the wave to travel after the earthquake:confused:
