A massive earthquake happened west of Sumatra, Indonesia. An undersea movememt, in the Indian ocean.
The tremors were felt within the region. Buildings collapsed, lives were lost. Affected people were at a loss.
What happened next was beyong people's imagination. The rain doesn't just come, it hit hard from above, destroyed everything in its path and drag anything which survived back to its watery depths.
Thailand, Indonesia and India were badly hit by tsunamis, tidal waves caused by the earlier earthquake. Other nearby countries were hit, Malaysia etc. Far away on the other side of the Ocean, East Africa were hit and lives were lost also.
So far, as it stands, close to 70,000 people were killed. Over 100,000 injured. Many more were missing. 2 island groups of India were wiped out, presumed death or missing as no contacts were established since the disater.
My deepest condolences to those who lost relatives and friends. Do live strong and survive as the victims will live on, in the memory and hearts of the others. I beseech others to help the survivors to overcome this tough period.
