BBC News Information
CNN News Info
ITV News Info

As you can see, each one has different information about the places it hit, and some are more precise than others, its a really bad natural disaster, and I seriously feel for all of the families that have lost people, and the people who have lost their own homes, it must be terrible...

Thats really aweful. I heard the foll. on the news. There is a famous church in chennai, India where ppl from india go for every x'mas and this year since it was a saturday many (most) ppl stayed back so they could have fun there. As they went for sunday morn. mass the tsunami's struck. Just as i was thinking of it the father of the church said the exact same thing that of it hadn't been a week end most visitors would have gone.
Now the area around the church is like a mass graveyard with bodies all around under the broken trees and fallen buildings !!
Too sad. Just can't express my grief enough !
