I remember we had some members in that area of the world, I think, from watching the members map they had made in the site. If not, I hope if any had members of family in that area are okay.

I'm fine here in Malaysia (the central part of the peninsular). There were some slight vibrations felt by those who stayed in high rise buildings.

The U.K. government has handed out a measly £15 million to help out in this dissaster...PATHETIC! This same government was quite happy to splash out £5 BILLION on an illegal war in Iraq.A massive shame on the USA, Saudi Arabia and most of Europe who have handed out nothing more than schrapnel.

Locals had clothed, fed and watered them in the immediate aftermath of the disaster. Locals again got them to the airport and Government representatives from other European countries (Belgium, I think) were able get them onto a plane out of the country. Obviously, they weren't too complimentary about their own Government's help.

It's a shame how quickly a topic posted out of concern for one's fellow man degenerates into let's bash this or that government.Instead of looking at what everybody else is doing or not doing,maybe individuals should pony up what they can to the various relief organizations.It's far more constructive.
