Over 1,700 people in Sri Lanka were killed after tidal waves battered the country's eastern coast, according to Colombo police. Authorities fear the death toll there could rise.
"I'm afraid this is going to keep getting worse and worse"
Unfortunately you are right. At least 10.000 killed in my opinion.
Sri Lanka-the latest numbers are around 2,300.
India-1,200.
Indonesia-between 400 to 700.
