An earthquake with a magnitude of 8.9 has struck the coast of Indonesia, creating the inevitable Tsunamis ("tidal waves") which have struck the coasts of Sri Lanka, Thailand, the Maldives... well most of SE Asia actually.

At least 500 people have been killed (and that number will probably rise pretty sharply) and huge numbers of people have been made homeless.

Oh, and exactly two years ago there was a big earthquake in SE Iran that killed 20,000. Wonder what's going to happen today?

Reading that thread and seeing people posting the rising death count sends shivers down my spine.
