Dec. 30th, 2004 01:18 pmThe news never seems to get any better.
But some little rays of hope and good news amongst the devastation:
Simeulue is amazingly safe. From http://www.smh.com.au/news/Asia-Tsunami/Three-days-later-soldiers-find-town-in-ruins/2004/12/29/1103996617216.html
They knew to run on Simeulue, a palm-fringed island closest to the epicentre of Sunday's devastating earthquake.
"Our ancestors have a saying - if there is an earthquake run for your life," Darmili, the mayor of the island, said yesterday. "Thousands of our people were killed by a tsunami in 1907 and we have many earthquakes here."
Only five of 70,000 villagers on Simeulue were killed, all of them in the earthquake that struck at 7.55am last Sunday. Nobody perished in the five-metre-high walls of water that followed.
And they found 3000 people alive in one area they finally reached in Sri Lanka.
My sister's friend isn't going to Sri Lanka tomorrow (now hoping to go in March). They told her they couldn't guarantee the hotel in Colombo where she was staying the first night still existed, or whether she'd be able to get to where she was supposed to be going.

I was shocked when dad told me about Jerry Orbach when I woke up this morning.
When they released the news about him having prostate cancer a month or so ago, they said he was doing okay. Though slightly weird, the articles are saying he'd only having treatment for a few weeks. I'm sure the article announcing the diagnosis said that he'd told his cast mates back when he left L&O in April.
They played "Try to Remember" from The Fantasticks on the radio this morning.
I'm glad he got to leave L&O on his own terms.
