Husky Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 Huge earth quake and tidal waves hit from Sri Lanka to the Pacific. Thousands dead. I mention this because LaPala is Form Indonesia, which was especially hard hit. I hope he's unscathed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaPala Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 I'm okay. But it was weird, around 9am the land "swayed" and U feel like you'e on a boat. I'm from Malaysia . We were hit along the coastal areas but no huge damages if you call boat ending up on the shore small damage. But comparatively we're alright here. We were sheltered by the Sumatra Island so the effect was already dampened. Phuket Island in Thailand was particularly bad, last report was 1,000 live lost. PS: I'm keeping my fingers crossed, there are rumours of maybe a secondary tremer in a few days time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaPala Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 Thank god Malaysia had minimal dameges even though we are closest to the shock centre. Only coastal areas are affected. But alomost the whole country felt the tremor. It's amazing what forces of nature can do. Kinda make you rethink your exixtance on earth. One minute you're here, the next minute you might just be swallowed. So why all the wars & senseless conflicts, we are just pasisng thru in this world.
