It’s a bit odd, being awake at 2 in the morning and reading about an 8.9 magnitude earthquake hitting way out in the ocean near Indonesia, only to go to sleep and wake up 9 hours later to find out massive tidal waves have hit several countries.

I’ve heard the death toll is anywhere from 10,000 to 40,000, although I’m sure the number will be leaning towards the high end. I’m not gonna try to keep up with any of the coverage that’s been going on, but Wikipedia has very comprehensive coverage of it, and Boing Boing has been doing a good job of it too.
