If it's that bad in the Maldives, it's inconceivable to me that Diego Garcia didn't get damaged; wonder if it has occured to anyone with any of the major Snooze organizations to bother checking or asking the Pentagon.

The actual base and housing at Diego Garcia are on the west side of the atoll, though; hopefully the other side of the atoll and the lagoon attenuated it.

Sri Lanka is now reporting 419 dead and I'm sure that will go higher.
