Tsunami

I had a dream last night of a tsunami engulfing our house and neighborhood. We don't live by the ocean, so that won't happen here, but I think it was due to a short video I saw on the internet last night of water coming into a resort somewhere in Thailand. People were standing around, not knowing that the water would keep coming and keep coming. An older couple was swept away with debris along a path. Others climbed the counters in the restaurant. There was an odd report from Sri Lanka today that they didn't find a lot of dead animals in the wild life park. They think the animals fled to the highlands before the wave came in.

I gave money to Mercy Corps yesterday to help with the disaster. Meanwhile the estimated death toll is climbing and climbing. It may go as high as 100,000.
