I had a dinner at the Sri Lankan embassy tonight and the consul was mighty upset over that nothing, absolutely nothing was being done to warn people.

There were pretty many hours from when the Tsunami hit the Thai coast to when it hit Sri Lanka. It didn't take very long to figure out that it was destroying everything in it's path. There's even american gov offices in both Thailand and Sri Lanka, and the americans knew about it. Why didn't they contact the government?

I heard so many sad and horrible stories at the dinner. The devastation there is total
