I immediately thought of you when Sri Lanka came on the news.

Glad to see that you are OK.

Thanks Mike,
I am on the West coast (Colombo). The brunt of the devastation has been in the South and East coasts.

Right now every body organizing relief efforts.

Glad to hear you are OK as well. Like Mike I wasn't sure exactly where in Sri Lanka you were located but was praying it was nowhere near the hardest hit areas. What a horrific event!!

Thanks Amanada,

Yes very horrific, we never imagined this could happen. The last I heard the death toll in Sri Lanka alone is over 10,000. Whats even more shocking is that all those lives have been lost in 1 day.

Thanks for your thoughts guys.
