EarthQuake near Sumatra
Hi,
Before more people contact me about earth quakes, tsunamis and bad weather...
First my mum calls, then Leo Sutic send mail, about stuff happening down here,
so I looked it up on CNN. Strongest earth quake in the world for 40 years
(fifth largest ever recorded) next to Sumatra, causing big tsunamis hitting
the region. Est 4700 dead.
Kuala Lumpur is 50-60km from the shore, so tsunamis are not a worry, and I
live on 28th floor :o).
Looking back, I actually felt the earth quake, although I didn't think it was
one. I was very tired, doing some programming, and thought that the room was
moving. I attributed it to me being in desparate need for sleep, and that the
motion came from within.
However, I also noticed that the water in a bottle in front of me moved slowly
back and forth, but not more than I consider it part of my imagination.
Without pondering too much over it, I just ignored the event and went on with
my work.
So, there are plenty of other people on this list living in within the reach
of nature's wrath, mostly hurricane/cyclone territory. I am not one of those
:o)
Cheers
Niclas

Hi Guys ... I'm personally fine as is our family. We're a bit away
from the coast .. However it looks like the number of dead will
far exceed 5000 just in Sri Lanka.
We're trying to help in whatever way we can.
Sanjiva.
p.s.: Dims is in Boston .. a bit far away from Sumatra ;-).
