Hope all the victims get their relief supplies in time. Drinking water is especially important for them right now. If their water supplies has been contaminated with sea water, I can't imagine how it might feel. I really pity those that were swept away, especially those that can't swim.
Bro Roidan, in 1 of the pics in the links you provided, there was a person in the pictures that was being swept as the waves came in toward the hotel. Accidentally enlarge the pics and saw the face among the bubbling waters. Hope he is alright.
