I think I was actually reading some story, maybe about Petra Nemcova & her boyfriend who died in the tsunami, and I had completely forgotten that it was just last December 26th! I guess it came to be overshadowed in 2005 by Katrina & the Kashmir earthquake. It's still amazing how devastating those waves were, though. I remember watching, last spring or summer, a special on PBS (the gov't-run broadcast station in the states) about how it formed, why it was so devastating, and, of course, images of the aftermath. I couldn't even imagine having to deal with that and I feel so very fortunate, living inland, that I hopefully won't have to worry about something like that in the near future.
