Hope the Southeast Asian owners are OK

Heard about the tsunami hitting Southeast Asian region. From what I read, Singapore doesn't seem to be affected but Penang got a few casualties. Hope everybody is ok.

number of survivors would be slim as the day goes by. Cos poor condition and and injuries would cause renal failure due to lack of water. Chances of surviving after day 3 would be almost zero.

Very sad.... reminds me of the day after tomorrow....

The death toll will be higher if the Tsunami hit at noon when Patong and other beaches will be filled with sun worshippers! Just a grim reminder how short our lives can be.
A very sad day for everyone.
