Tsunami now hits Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania coasts (many dead)

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4126513.stm



Many missing as waves hit Africa

A government spokesman said settlements along Somalia's coast had been flooded by the rising waters.

"Coastal towns have been swept away by the waves and there is severe damage to property," Yusuf Ismail said.

Waves which swept 7,000km (4,000 miles) from the epicentre, also struck Kenya, Mauritius, Reunion and the Seychelles.

There was also damage in the Seychelles where a bridge linking the main airport and capital Victoria was destroyed while a village in northern Mauritius was submerged for almost three hours following the surges.

2. Did anyone think
"Day After Tommorow" type stuff? Sorry, but it truthfully was the first thing to hit my head.

3. Take a look at this..
A compilation of severe weather stories from the last week. It sure looks like the same script to me :) But then again, Ive been very blessed in my life and havent encountered much in the way of environmental disaster. Perhaps it is just out of proportion with my own limited knowledge.

Either way, crazy stuff.
