It seems almost incomprehensible that what was initially 26,000 is now well over 220,000 deaths. Shocking, bewildering.

The latest estimate I have seen today is 26,000 confirmed deaths in all affected countries. Although there are no reliable estimates yet for injury, homelessness, or property damage, we know that all are huge. The UN calls the damage "unprecedented" and estimates that millions have been displaced. Whole villages on the coasts of Sri Lanka and India have been swept away, and doubtless elsewhere. The tidal waves were felt in Africa and South America. >> _______________________________________________ BAWUG's general wireless chat mailing list [unsubscribe] http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
