Well, it wasn't actually "killer waves' that reached Kenya & Omar & Africa, but just largish type water movements. Which isn't incomprehensible, when you consider Krakatoa's ripples in the currents went around the world 3 times. It's to be expected with a tectonic movement of this scale.

But yes, it is quite shocking. Last time I checked, the death toll was around 23000. A friend of mine has family in Sri Lanka and she's getting people involved in charities. I've donated a good chunk of my Christmas cash to some of the groups, because it's going to seriously effect the region in ways I consider important. Honestly, I don't really have anything else to give.

It shall be interesting to see the political repurcussions of this, however. You've got the seriously effected Tamal regions in the north of Sri Lanka, and this is Bang Bang's first real challange during his first term. It's also going to open up conflicted areas in Indonesia like Aceh to humanitarian groups who have previously been denied access.
