Has anyone heard anything about the Seychelles? I have a colleague who moved there with his entire family. I have only seen sketchy news on this so far. :-(
Turning on Fox and CNN now.
There was a single short report on BBC news about incidents of flooding & communication disruptions in the Seychelles.But nothing more than that.Damage there appears to be far more limited than in the Maldives.
I saw one article mention them at the bottom... it's mostly just been very brief mentions along with other little snippets on Africa. http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=360586
In the Seychelles, at least nine people were reported missing after a 2-meter (6-foot) surge flooded low roads and knocked out power in hundreds of homes. At the airport, fire brigades were forced to wash dozens of fish off of the runway each time high tides sent water crashing onto the airfield.
The government declared Monday a public holiday to allow for a cleanup.
In Somalia, strong waves and winds capsized boats and kept fishermen in port.
"I do not know what to expect from the ocean," said a Somali fisherman in the coastal town of Adale, 35 miles north of Mogadishu.
Mauritius seemed largely untouched by the post-quake surge, although minor flooding struck one of the outlying islands in the archipelago, Rodrigues. On Madagascar and the Comoros Islands, residents had seen no ill effects.
