It's sorta scary to read about some of the stuff in Phuket, people being washed from their beachside cabins or lounge chairs and washing up dead later in the day. I live in Hong Kong and was vacationing in Thailand this spring break, and I've been on those exact beaches and islands, and can see how devastating even a moderate-sized wave would be. There's not as many people as there would be in the spring or summer (it's now a chilly 84F during the days), but it's still a real tragedy.
