Tsunami news links

World Changing has first person accounts and links to aid sites. Tsunami Help is a blog aimed at providing relief news and links. Command Post is aggregating stories as fast as it can. Wikipedia, moving more quickly than I thought possible, has facts and figures on the size and scope of this thing.

We're fairly sensitive to tsunamis out here; Hilo has been hit with two major ones in the past 60 years, and I lived through a major warning (which turned out to be a false alarm) about fifteen years ago myself. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center is located a few miles west of me; if there were such a thing in the Indian Ocean, many lives might have been saved. Unfortunately, there's been no perceived need for it there.
