Description
Excerpted from the website:
- The human and physical toll left from the December 26 earthquake and subsequent tsunami is overwhelming in scale. During the first 24 hours it took for the wave to cross the Indian Ocean, approximately 230,000 people lost their lives (including those still listed as missing), some 430,000 homes were reduced to rubble, the livelihoods of as many as five million people were thrown into jeopardy, more than 2,174 miles of roads were destroyed, and over 100,000 fishing boats were destroyed or damaged. The disaster caused some $10 billion in damages in barely 24 hours.
