Freaking slow reactions

Watched BBC yesterday, caught a whiff of the quake. Didn't think much of it cos initial estimates had 500 people dead or missing worldwide. For a quake measuring 8.9 on the Richter scale, that's a very lucky number. Didn't think Malaysia was affected much, cos we're supposed to be protected from the waves by Sumatera.

We spent the last 2 hours trying to call our relatives in Penang. Luckily they're alright. Unfortunately, not everyone could say that of their loved ones. Please consider donating here.

It might be prudent for you to read up on what causes tsunamis and whether it is possible to predict earthquakes. Google works wonders.

Take care, world.
