Massive earthquakes and tsunamis hits South and Southeast-Asia

Another tragedy

I know we have here lots of members from that Area, so I hope you are all ok.
My prayers goes out to all of the pple in this area, who are affected by this tragedy .....my condolences to all.



There have been only 10 earthquakes above 8 Richter since 1900, and today it was one of them, in Indonesia (north of Sumatra island).

Some areas in Thailand and Malaysia were also affected by the tsunamis, however the death count was worst in Indonesia for the SE Asia region - 400 people dead and counting.

Meanwhile, similar tsunamis and earthquakes also affected the Bay of Bengal area, wher more than 1500 people in India and 1000+ people in Sri Lanka have been the casualties (and still counting).


Last year same time there was this huge earthquake in Iran which also costs thousand and thousands of Life

It's hard to believe that the tidal wave had such force that it hit the east coast of Kenya, more than 4000 miles away .... my thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and families affected by this tragedy.

wow, I never knew it actually hit Kenya. I have family there, but I doubt it did much damage there, I just hope the people south east Asia can recover

Don't worry, it didn't got to Kenya with the same rage as in SE Asia, the thing was that the waves were a little more big than the usual, and not only Kenya but other East coast African countries decided to evacuated the coast in case of a tidal wave.
Things keep getting worse, everytime I read something about it, there are at least 3000 more deads than the last time.

Thanks everyone.

i've been watching this on the news the last few days, and that number keeps rising and rising. i don't remember any earthquake that has caused this much damage. the poor people i hope our prayers will help some how.
