    sorry I just get worked up when i hear people having hard times!
    Anyways thanks Josh for posting this! hadn't yet heard of this and now wish I Hadn't!
    =[

    EDIT;Reason I say this is 'cuz after the 2004 Devastation on the island of sumatra nearly over 230 000 lives were lost and they are JUST begining to rebuild and get back onto their feet again!
    now all they need is for this happen!
    But after reading the Links josh provided (thanks) I see the Warning Issued was "lifted"
    that's good News!

    just hope it stays that way..
    Unlike Other people I do make it my business to care about these unfortunate situations!
    just seems Sad that there are not enough of us out there to make any 'Real' Difference!
    maybe I can make a "small but significant" difference when i become a journalist someday..
    here are some quotes to back up what I mean.

    " If we just stand by idly not contributing to Aid when a disaster
    strikes,then Our Example shall be seen by our children Causing a World Wide Ripple Effect!" Anonymous Author

    swmeek I got your benevolent dictator pal!!

    Damn that sucks! But looking at where they're located (pacific Ring of Fire) I'm not surprised.
    They'd better hope they don't ever have another Krakatoa happen in that region.

    Yeah but I think your side of the BROF has a little better detection than way out there.

    Tsunami detection? We don't have any. Only Hawaii has Tsunami detection.

    We have seismograph detector's all over the place, but their designed to record the earthquake, not predict them -__-;

    Luckily living out here in the boonies we don't get much in the way of earthquakes but every now and then we do get them.
    There a fault line between Indiana and Illinois that likes to shake things up every so often.
