Anybody hear what happened to Diego Garcia? Almost all Americans and a real low island directly in the path of the tsunami.

I think at this time, with no news at all about Diego Garcia, we're going to have to take the "no news is good news" position.

Hadn't thought about that, but small islands can ride these things out better than large land masses because the displacement of the water or shock wave can work its way around them. When it hits the mainland, it has no way to go but up.

I just sent a few emails to the websites for Navy facilities on Diego Garcia. I'll let you know if I hear anything.

I also wonder about any of our Navy vessels in the area.

From another thread:
Massive 8.5 quake rocks Southeast Asia, triggers tidal waves

I just recieved an email from my son who is stationed at Diego Garcia, according to him they didnt even feel the quake, and no sign of any waves coming their way. He was talking more about what a great meal they were fed on Christmas then what was going on elsewhere. Which was FINE with me!
