Diego Garcia

All of you will have read of the devastating tidal wave that struck Thailand, Sri Lanka, Somalia, Kenya, Bangladesh to name but a few places. They are all just a few feet above [or in at least one case a little below] sea level. This has led to a massive, almost unaccountable loss of life in all regions affected.

There has been no mention of the effect on Diego Garcia, a coral atoll in the Chagos Archipelago. Looking at images supplied by an E2k member one can see that like the Maldives, which it is due south of, it is only a few feet above the sea level.

To take a peek at the pics see: http://www.zianet.com/tedmorris/dg/aerial2.html

Good luck to those stationed there and those elsewhere.
