"Quake death toll nears 10,000

Massive tsunamis triggered by the largest earthquake to shake the planet in more than 40 years wiped out coastal areas across Asia as far as 1,000 miles away, killing almost 10,000 people. Most of the fatalities were in Indonesia, Sri Lanka and India."

This is sad, we should all pray for this people.

it had 8.9 degrees in the ritcher scale (i dunno if i've written it correctly) which is a very very very hard earthquake.

That's frightening.  People were chaotic when Hurricanes in Florida happened.  A small casualty compared to this new event... The damage there sounds horrible.  I hope they recover well.

I read about this earlier this morning talking to Saral....

I'm just going to pray for the families of the victims of these quakes, its not a nice thought.. this is the reason why I would never live on a techtonic plate line thing.... (can't remember the correct terminology) ^_^...

My aunt lives in Madras, and my Cousin lives in Bangalore. We know that my Cousin is ok, but I havent heard from my Aunt yet.

I was listening to Radio 1, and there is a line that you can call to check that your family members are okay, maybe you should try and find that out...

normally lines like that are for people from (in your case) the UK to ask information about other inhabitants of the UK who are spending their holidays in an area where a disaster struck.

No, on Radio 1, it said, if you are worried about relatives in these countries, then you can fone '.........' and check to see if they're okay, I tried to get the number for Saral's sake, but it happened to fast...

its in my country, i can feel the pain of the ppl...feel like crying...the death toll is 22000, 9500 in india, plz pray for them please.
