Hey,
This is gonna be a quick one.... power shortages, no water, phones messed up. Me an my family are all ok and in good health. Fortunatly the beach plans for the morning of the 26th fell through as my car broke down. The place looks like an atomic bomb has hit. Caskets and dead bodies on the road. People lost everything... out in their night dresses in refugee camps in the local temples. All infrastructure is gone... foreigners are being choppered out - we decided to stay. Since then only helping the needy. Medical, food and petrol scares. Organizing transports with supplies from colombo. Prisoners have managed to get out of jail and thus curfews in the next big city. Petrol and eletricity are difficult to get hold of or at gunpoint.
We got enough food but the morale is down.... my friends wife and two kids are missing - washed away and bodies are still appearing on the coasts.
Glad to be alive and able to help... now ready to crash after 5 hours of sleep in the last 48 hours.
I am alright - the people that make 80$ a month and lost everything are in a harder position.
More when power is back...
peace,

That is really unfortunate. I just hope that everything would be fine this new year and things will get back in its proper places. I wish that Sri Lanka gets the peace it needed.
