Sumatra


This was ground zero of the earthquake. There are reports of extensive damage in Aceh province. .....In Nias, the BBC claims that the island was swamped and initial reports suggest that at least 1800 people were killed. Max at Hinako Hideaway emailed that the tidal surge affected Asu but did not swamp the island.


Initial reports from the Mentawais suggest there has been flooding, but we do not yet know the extent of the destruction. Martin Daly, captain of the Indies Trader, reports "unusual tidal movement" from the tsunami at Padang Harbor, but no major damage. No reports of trouble on Java, Bali, Lombok Sumba, Sumbawa or Timor.

Sri Lanka


Atoll Adventures reports "many casualties" at the Arugam Bay surf village. Per Goodman, owner of Stardust guesthouse, has been reported missing. Death toll stands at 13,000. More than a million people have been forced from their homes.
