**Barkworm** · 12-29-2004, 12:38 PM

My god, there aren't even that much people living in my town. Just think about that.

*Voltron* · 12-29-2004, 12:49 PM

I still can't believe it. That zone of the planet is a disaster area. Heaven help them all.

*cqb101* · 12-29-2004, 01:25 PM

Just heard on the radio that the death toll has reached 80,000.

*Kid Icarus* · 12-30-2004, 03:10 AM

The poulation of my city's about 200,000, so just imagining this is kinda stunning.

**Jo Dawn** · 12-30-2004, 11:04 AM

It's gonna hit 120,000. It's already surpassed 117,000.

Man, this really... makes you think.

*Anarky* · 12-30-2004, 11:30 AM

Okay, I found this picture today... it is an image showing a beach, full of corpses and debris. I think it is the best picture on teh internet I've seen for a long time. It's nothing for people who get upset easily. I'll remove it on request.

NOT WORK SAFE btw

... My God...

EDIT - 125,282. It's hit that high, and rising.

I found more pictures, and they... wow. *wipes eyes*

On MSNBC across the bottom of the screen was a moving message of reports and one really caught my eye. In Thailand, an elephant saved some children's lives! I found the article on it and just thought that was so awesome.

Holy ****. Just imagine what it's going to be like to have to clean that all up.

Brinatello · 12-30-2004, 11:46 PM

I just now looked at the photo and... *whines* OMG, that is so horrible!

*MrPliggins* · 12-30-2004, 11:55 PM

there is nothing i can say about this..i am just speechless. it is mind blowing

This Tsunami is the worst thing I EVER saw in my entire life. I have a friend currently down there, but thank god, he is fine.

I just hope that the people down there will be fine, that they get as much help as possible and that everything is going to be fine...

*Cascadia* · 01-14-2005, 11:58 PM

the magnitude of the earthquake is 8.9 instead of 9, which was initially thought. This earthquake is from a subduction zone, in which the oceanic crust is being subducted underneath the continental crust. Also, this was a deep earthquake and deep earthquakes tend to be very large in magnitude. I have my own subduction zone in Oregon....the Cascadia Subduction Zone. It had an earthquake on January 26, 1700, which was estimated to be a 9. It sent a tsunami all the way to Japan. There is a short article on this in this week's Time magazine or last weeks.

*Kid Icarus* · 01-15-2005, 12:02 AM

Geeze... that picture's horrid. i can't even begin to imagine how horrible it must be to see this all in person.

**Barkworm** · 01-15-2005, 02:00 AM

Not only see it but also smell it. Just imagine that. (That's not supposed to be some sick joke or something).

*Kid Icarus* · 01-15-2005, 02:21 AM

Spoilered over 'cause it's a bit graphic.

It's hard to fathom that an undersea earthquake caused a disaster on such a wide scale that killed/affected so many. It just proves that no matter where you are, there are some things you just can't escape. It's an ineffable fact of mother nature.
I've already been praying for the victims and their loved ones. Just from the video I saw on the Weather Channel, I can tell it's on a much worse scale than any of us can even begin to comprehend.

JJ · 01-26-2005, 04:00 PM

Ok. What I don't really like about this is, that Indonesia or whatever country it was, that all countries helping them have to leave. That was kind of odd...
