The video footage of the wave reactions in Sri Lanka and the Maldives is just ridiculously amazing. There's nothing and then the wave slams into the coast line like nothing I've ever seen....And I'm sure the video isn't even of the tsunami wave that struck Thailand.
Mr. Mephisto was absolutely right. Donate money if you can. This terrible tragedy for those that died will be worse on those that didn't without substantial assistance. Fresh drinking water will have to be a big priority along with collection and proper disposal of the dead in order to prevent the spread of disease which is unfortunately very likely. Any amount of money that you can donate will definitely help...
