A Tsunami triggered by an earthquake in Indonesia killed thousands. It felt sad to know that hundreds died in the city of Chennai. I lived there for 17 years. Strollers and joggers on Saturday morning in Marina beach in Chennai would have seen 30 feet wave heading towards them. I can only imagine their panic. I am wondering why they weren't able to predict an earthquake of such a high magnitude (8.9 on Richter scale).

I watched "Lemony Snicket's A series of Unfortunate events" on Christmas eve. 4 of us went and had the whole movie hall to ourselves. The movie was good, maybe a little too dark for kids.
