I still cant figure out how that one guy in Kenya died...did he not evacuate after everyone else left? Surfer mabye out for the big wave (sounds dumb, but we see them in every hurricane)?

There was one point where the count was in the low to mid 20,000s where I thought, "There's no way more than 100,000 died." 20,000 is A LOT of people. A profound tragedy. I can't imagine that many deaths or that level of destruction. Er... Now it's six times as many. I still can't quite get my head around it. All the way to Africa? Unfathomable.
So, I'm without television. Does anyone have a good link showing an animation of the tsunami's progression? Surely something like this must exist.

I wonder if there were any survivors from the island of Simeulue...it's right AT the epicenter.

Looking at this map it amazes me. Mostly due to how wide spread it is. It includes both Command Fifth and Seventh Fleet. I've been to a couple of those countries; Seychelles, India, Singapore and passed by Indonesia and Somalia. I can't seem to find any unclassified info about ships in the area. While around the horn of Africa we had waves up to 50 feet hit the ship.

Tidal waves sometimes appear as only small swells to ship at sea though..they dont become deadly untill they reach shore.

Classic. Funny thing is - why is it do things like Yahoo Serious and that Jacko guy and for that matter Steve Irwin and err someone else get popular overseas for crap - never really heard of in Australia before that. Although that Jacko guy was a footballer or something.
