A reminder from Mother Earth
Sunday, December 26, 2004A reminder from Mother Earth that our stay in Her dominion is subject to Her mercy and grace. Let us pray that She restores her grace on those affected by this catastrophe.
From the BBC:
More than 7,000 people have been killed across southern Asia in massive sea surges triggered by the strongest earthquake in the world for 40 years.
The 8.9 magnitude quake struck under the sea near Aceh in north Indonesia, generating a wall of water that sped across thousands of kilometres of sea.
More than 3,200 died in Sri Lanka, 2,200 in Indonesia and 2,000 in India.
Casualty figures are rising over a wide area, including tourist resorts on Thailand packed with holidaymakers. (Continued)
Eerily, this quake has taken place exactly one year (to the day) after the 6.6 magnitude earthquake in Bam (Iran) that killed some 30,000 people and flattened the city.
