The number of dead is all over the place. Some news site have it anywhere from 8,500 to 23,600.
Anyone have a link to an official source?

Anyone find it interesting that the USGS is the only agency that appears to know exactly what happened, in terms of seismic activity? There is no report from the "Indonesian Geological Survey." Everyone cites the US report. For all the dissing we do of the U.S. government, the USGS is one of the bright spots. They do their job very well and are the standard the rest of the world goes by.

Anyone have a link to an official source? They do not even have radio contact to whole islands yet. Many Indoneasian islands are just low lying sand spits in the middle of the sea. The death toll may climb much higher in the comming week.

What an agonizing time people with relatives who are unaccounted for must be enduring. Prayers have been sent for all those injured and for the families of those killed. I pray that all Israelis will be found safe.
Btw, your profile page is very nice. I enjoyed all the neat pictures. :)

I'm sure Burma will never reveal her death toll. Idiots!

Burma by all accounts doesn't have a high death toll.Most news agencies are saying between 30 to 100.They were far north of the affected region,so any waves would have been much weaker.Bangladesh(which is pretty much in the same region) has reported only 2 casualities till now.

How long will it be before President Bush and/or "global warming" gets the blame for this?

I'm trying to figure out how Somalia was devastated and Diego Garcia was unaffected.

The question is: How long before Jerry Falwell blames gays?

About the length of time it takes you to get banned from Free Republic?

Yeah, your probably about right.
Btw: I'm an American in Yokohama.
And yes, I do see the irony.
To: Dang Librul
Oil companies are to blame. They removed all the grease from the rocks, and this is what happens.

Deigo Garcia is surrounded by deep water. The tsunami just passes around it.

"The question is: How long before Jerry Falwell blames gays?"Good point. Thank you for bringing it up. I'll put forth a $100 pledge to you (through Pay Pal) if in the next 48 hours, Jerry Falwell "blames this on gays."
I however publicly call for you to make a similar pledge (to me) in the amount of $100, (payable through Pay Pal) if in the next 48 hours, the church or associations run by Jerry Falwell (or TRBC Missions or other related group under his direction) starts some humanitarian charitable drive to assist the victims of the Tsunami.
Care to wager?
