115,000
What we feared most is now reality.
A CNN dispatch from Banda Aceh, the capital city of Aceh Province stated "The death toll from Sunday's tsunamis has jumped sharply to over 115,000 after Indonesia reported nearly 80,000 people were killed in that country alone."
Refer to this map of Aceh for the explanation about Tsunami and Earthquake.
The epicenter is located just NorthWest of Simeuleu Island and you can see there are plenty of small cities on the coast directly on the path of the TSunami.
The Simeuleu Island is actually spared of much of the damage because they are so close to the epicenter the Tsunami didn't have enough distance to develop. The flooding in that island is limited to 1 meter (3 feet).
Meulaboh (aerial picture) has a population of approximately 36,000 people and the initial survey of the damage estimate only about 25% of buildings in that city remains.
Banda Aceh, the capital city, is located at the Northernmost side of Sumatra.
Make a small gesture.
