Reality Check

Cousteau-cub woke us this morning with a phone call. She was very upset. A major earthquake shook Sout-East Asia, and tsunamis have sent walls of water crashing into southern Thailand and its Islands. News is still sparse, but her Phi Phi Island appears to have been hit hard, and as yet there is little news. Certainly there has been much devastation, many injured, some swept-away, and some fatalities.

As news continues to come in, it is evident that this is a major disaster, and that phi Phi must have been affected. Still no solid news from there, however.

Urban-cub phoned. She had only just woken up. She was suffering still with her back pain. It seems to be giving her additional symptoms, too, so will need to be monitored carefully.

Well it has been a sobering day. The news from SE Asia is dreadful. Cousteau-cub still hasn't had any firm news and is obviously very worried still.
