It looks pretty bad. The video is stunning...the waves just wiped out whole buildings!

Note that I searched on FR and did not see this posted anywhere.

They might be muslims, but we are loving Christians.

"Prayers up. They’re gonna need them!"

Indeed. This makes our angst over Kavanaugh seem trivial.

There are also many Christians on Sulawesi.

About 20% officially claim to be Christian. Buddhists and Balinese Hindu make up about 4%.

No doubt it’s due to the West’s large carbon footprint.

There could easily be hundreds (thousands?) of casualties. They’re going to need help, and fast.

The moslem Mayor of London has said that terror attacks are just part of the price you pay for living in a major city.

Well,volcanoes,earthquakes and tsunamis are just part of the price one pays for living in Indonesia

That gutteral "AdmirahlAhkbar" over and over and over is the most obnoxious expression capable of being produced by the human voice.

"Ahkbar" is smiting you, savvy? Maybe get with the program there, Little Mo.

I remember all the photos from 2004. A family walking out towards the water as the waters receded and then running for their lives.

Saw a photo of them a few days later and was so relieved.

Friends of ours were in Thailand somewhere when the water went out and their British waitress told them to run. They didn’t know why they were running but they went ahead and did it and made it to a hillside just ahead of the water.

They both said that people were just staring at them like they were crazy as they were running for high ground. Most of those people ended up dead.

I hope people this time had more sense.

“About 20% officially claim to be Christian.”

Angels around the Christians especially! [Gal. 6.12]

But are they banned from the Indonesian school system? Or just the school Obama went to?

“I hope people this time had more sense.”
Unfortunately, the Indonesian authorities lifted the Tsunami warning 34 minutes after issuing it which probably increased the death toll.
