donate

So I was going out today to buy an Apple display, but instead, I’m donating money to Save The Children.

Dear Shaky,

Thank you for your generous contribution to Save the Children’s Asia Earthquake/Tidal Wave Relief Fund. With support from donors like you we can quickly initiate and expand the delivery of food, water, medical care, temporary shelter materials and non-food relief such as clothing to children and families in coastal Indonesia, Sri Lanka and India whose villages were washed away.

Here is a list of relief organisations if you want to donate.

Amazing. The MLCCC received a Christmas present from James:

He told me to check out page 43:

Thanks mate!

asian tsunami 3

Some amazing photos of the Phuket tsunami.

Phi Phi is a wreck:

“Phi Phi is a total wreck,” lamented Mitchai Anansakul, head of the Nopparat Thara Marine Park. “Almost every building on the island collapsed under the 10-metre wall of water.”

Only two large hotel buildings, the Phi Phi Cabana and the Phi Phi Hotel, were left standing, but even they suffered heavy damage and will need structural inspection before they can be reopened, Mitchai added.

Look how many aftershocks there have been. This map shows it better.

Here’s a link to the NOAA animation of the tsunami that resulted from the earthquake. (QT file, 3.1 MB)

UPDATE: Here’s an easier animated gif.

Via Friskdude, 2B newsfeed: Indonesian quake and tsunamis in Thailand. It’s just terrible.

Check out the photos of Patong.

Remember the Duck Tonight Bar? Here’s that soi now. It’s quite a way from the sea there. And here.

Loads and loads of photos, but here’s one. Melvis in one of our blazers.
