My prayers are also with Maheen and his family, I hope they are all OK.

We have a very large Sri Lankan, community here in Melbourne, and understandably they have been greatly effected by the recent events, as have the local people because so many Australians spend their summer Holidays, in the islands off Thailand and the Maldives.

As Cathy and Annie have said the area around the port City of Galle in Sri Lanka has been one of the areas worst effected by the Tidal Waves ( Tusami )which travelled at speeds exceeding 500 kilometers per hour ( 360 MPH ) following an underwater earthquake which measured 9.0 on the richter scale.

Lets hope we hear from Maheen soon !!!.
