Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2004Ping Britta
Hi Britta, I heard on the news tonight about the earthquake off Indonesia that is also effecting Thailand (http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200412/s1272406.htm). Are you guys OK? Are you far enough inland to be away from the Tsunami danger? Tish > Hi Britta, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Tish Yeah, Britta & Dennis, you OK? Purrs and good thoughts for all of our northern neighbours affected by this. Hi! Thanks for checking on us, we're ok. The tsunami only affected the other coast, around Phuket. We're on the east coast on the Gulf of Thailand and there was nothing. We were still in bed at 8ish this morning when the earthquake happened and didn't feel a thing. Vino was meowing trying to get us to get up, but he does that every morning at this time. My friends in Bangkok were out walking their dog when it happened and they didn't feel anything but said that people came pouring out of many of the high rises. Most reported feeling something but not much. What is really scary is that only 1 week ago we were in the worst tsunami hit area in Thailand on our scuba trip. Many divers are missing, I heard between 40 and 100. I am worried about the friends we made of the dive crew of our boat, the MV Dolphin Queen. I am going to send an email to the company to see if they are all ok. -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur!

We're on the east coast on the Gulf [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] >> >> Tish Oh my gosh am I ever glad to hear from you. I wondered about you on my whole 9 hour drive back today!!!!!!! I thought I remembered that you and Dennis sometimes went to Phuket on holiday. I'm so glad you were spending Christmas at home! It is just awful. awful awful. :((( I could not believe what I was hearing in regards to the extent of the event and the death toll. So glad you are ok. I just received this email from my friend Kathy, who's husband Rob is a helicopter engineer for the same company Dennis works for. They live in Songkhla, southern Thailand, but on the other coast from Phuket. "Just to let you all know that Rob is safe in Phuket. He has been busy evacuating people from the islands. He has been there 2 days now. He has seen many dead and injured people. Yesterday they landed the helicopter on Ko Lanta (island) and picked up 3 elderly sweedish people all with broken bones and one with a broken back. They also dropped off supplies for a Thai village that had been destroyed. Rob told me of a little 6 year old boy that was found floating in the ocean. His whole family were killed. They took him to his village but found that it was gone, washed into the sea. The island that Rob was staying on last weekend and diving off has been destroyed. He said that the Patong beach in Phuket has been completely destroyed. The resort we usually stay at has gone. I don't know how long Rob will be there for. I will be heading back to Thailand on Sunday. I am in Tasmania at the moment with my family." This is very sad. I am wondering if the company has sent help to the area? We at the base up here have heard nothing of the sort but I am going to find out. I would love to help in some way. -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr.
