again yesterday came a tsunami after an earthquake measuring 7.5 degrees on the Richter scale. It was 10 o'clock at night, so sure enough damage were increased by the fact that at night and be all the people in their homes, many, probably sleeping.
This time the most affected area has been the Mentawai islands, characteristic wave destination. There, among others, was the King Milennium 2, with several English on board. As has been mentioned, are all safe and sound.
The well-known resort, Macaronis, has been gutted.
Initial reports spoke of 40 dead with hundreds missing. As always, most of the latter tend to become more deaths, as has happened again this time. 24 hours later, the numbers have risen to 272 dead and sure, continue to rise.
Paradoxically, whenever natural disasters occur, they happen in places where people live in poverty. Year after year, the Earth Mother rages at those who have less, punishment.
greetings.
