Horrible TSUNAMI.....

A magnitude 9 undersea earthsquake occurred off of Indonesia's Sumatra Island on the morning of 2004-DEC-26 -- the strongest earthquake on Earth over the past four decades. It triggered a massive tsunami (a.k.a. ocean surge, tidal wave). The earthquake generated a tsunami that was among the deadlist disaster in modern history, killing well over 200,000 people. As of late 2005-MAR, about 280,000 persons are believed to have died. These are mainly comprised of local citizens who are followers of the and Buddhist, Hindu, and Muslim faiths, and vacationers who were primarily Christians, Jews and secularists.

The earthquake originated in the Indian Ocean just north of Simeulue island, off the western coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia. The resulting tsunami devastated the shores of Indonesia, Sri Lanka, South India, Thailand and other countries with waves up to 30 m (100 feet). It caused serious damage and deaths as far as the east coast of Afrika, with the furthest recorded death due to the tsunami occurring at Port Elizaberth in South Afrika, 8,000km (5,000 miles) away from the epicentre.

I'm think that everybody sure remember about this disaster. This is because it was bring alots of sadness, financial lose, lose their family and etc. It is a very serious disaster among this world. Beside from this, after the disaster was happen, every one also ask the same question:" why was the tsunami happen around us and how the tsunami was frame?". The question goes to the very heart of religions' concept of God and of the workings of the universe.Many conservative religious leaders say that the tsunami is a message from God or a manifestation of God's wrath. Unfortunately, few agree on what that message is, or over what specific sins God is angry. Meanwhile, why doesn't God prevent evil and suffering?Many religious liberals are unclear of any deep moral meaning of why the tsunami happend. However, they feel that God inspires those not affected by the tragedy to send financial support to the victims. God also supports the victims in their loss.

Further more, there was many people scarified in this disaster. Besides that, they face many problem in thier life. They was lose many things after tsunami. Therefore they need us to donate money, foods, clothes.... Actually they really hope is can help them to face the problem. We also hope everybody can live in full of happiness and peace right?? Try to do your best To
help and support the victims. God will be bless you.
