I think that it will continue to worsen Brian. The poor people
affected by this disaster will probably take years to rebuild their
lives; they will need continuing help.
I wonder why there was no call to the various radio stations around the
area to warn people; it was hours before the tsunami hit some places,
although Aceh was pretty well ravaged as soon as the earthquake
occurred.
